About this activity

The red fortress on the hill guards gates, palaces and 700 years of stories — the Alhambra's open spaces make a legendary playing field.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Granada on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Decode the Puerta del Vino, the wine gate that inspired Debussy

• Circle the Palacio de Carlos V and its startling round courtyard

• Stand beneath the Puerta de la Justicia, the fortress's great hand of justice

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

No entrance ticket needed — the riddles stick to the public grounds.
