Things to Do in Granada

See all Granada Activities Photos

By Mike Karanicolas

Nearly all of Granada's attractions are located within a small area near Parque Central. At a brisk pace, you could cover them all in a day. If you're pressed for time, definitely don't miss the Cathedral and the sunset atop Iglesia la Merced. Granada's a very pleasant city to stroll, and covering the attractions on foot is a great way to enjoy the historic center.
