🚍 Public Transportation Options in Granada

While much of Granada can be explored on foot, certain landmarks — like the Alhambra and the Albayzín — are located on steep hills, making public transport especially helpful.

1. City Buses

Buses are the main mode of public transportation in Granada.
There are two types:

• Standard red city buses (larger, for major roads)

• Red minibuses (Alhambra buses) designed for navigating narrow historic alleys.

2. Metro

Granada also has a metro line, but it’s less useful for tourists. Only 3 of its 26 stations are underground, and it doesn’t connect well with major sightseeing areas.
⚠️ Note: Metro cards cannot be used on city buses, so you would need two separate cards. For most travelers, buses are more practical.

3. City Tour Bus

This hop-on, hop-off style bus looks like a small train and only stops at major landmarks like the Alhambra, Albayzín, Sacromonte, and Granada Cathedral.

• Regular bus tickets or transport cards cannot be used.

• Tickets must be purchased from the driver, bus stops, or online.

• 1-day and 2-day passes allow unlimited travel between stops during the validity period and include Korean audio guides.

4. Taxis

Taxis are also available and operate with meters. While Granada’s buses are efficient, taxis can be convenient if you’re traveling with luggage or unfamiliar with the route.
