Alhambra night visit - Palace or Generalife?

Country forums / Western Europe / Spain

Hi All - just bought our daytime tickets to the Alhambra (alcazaba, palacios nazaries, generalife, palacio de carlos V and bano de la mezquita) in September. We'd like to do a night visit as well but aren't sure which tickets to buy.

There are two: palacios nazaries OR generalife. Is the generalife night visit new - it's not mentioned in my LP Andalucia 2010 ed. Can anyone suggest which one to purchase tickets for? I want to buy ASAP, thanks so much.

As the limited tickets for the Palacios Nazaries sell out very quickly, my hunch is that they add a 'night visit' during the summer months to accomodate more tourists. Not sure why you want to visit twice, but of course, the Palacio is much more 'magical' than the gardens...

Thanks. I purchased the tickets for the palace.

Because I have the time and money? Plenty of people visit both during the day and night, it's not uncommon...
