¨There is no city that without madness can dispute Granada / the palm of its beauty. ¨ – Victor Hugo. This is how the French poet described the essence of this Andalusian city. Granada has countless nooks and crannies to be discovered by those willing to walk its streets and soak up its culture.

The tourist train is a great opportunity for any traveller who doesn’t want to miss out on the city’s most important sights. This hybrid transport, designed to take you out into the narrow streets, offers its passengers a panoramic tour at only 25 km per hour. You can also add to this experience our Granada Tours to immerse yourself in the history of this impressive city.

The train is equipped with multimedia content screens accompanied by explanations of the different highlights of the tour that will make this experience an interactive journey that envelops passengers. Audioguides are available in Spanish, Catalan, German, Portuguese, English (USA), Japanese, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Korean.
