Mirador de San Nicolas offers unbeatable views of the Alhambra, the city’s main tourist attraction. Stretch your legs with a walk up the hill to this popular viewpoint, located at the highest point in this part of the city, or hop on one of many minibuses regularly operating in the area for a less strenuous sightseeing experience. The advantage of this location is that it’s free and open 24 hours a day. Whatever time of day you’re there, take plenty of photos, but be sure to mingle with the crowds to soak up the atmosphere and take in the local culture.

Though a hike to get up to the Mirador, the views of the Alhambra at sunset are so worth it! For different views, the Mirador de San Cristobal is also gorgeous in the evening.

Location: Best view to the Alhambra - Under the sun (wear protection) Access - Easy access can go through bus from the city 31-32 (I believe) Budget: Free Crowd - Crowded around noon and could be at sunset. Will recommend in the morning When it's beautiful you can see the top of the mountain with the snow. Big blue sky. Gone there in the morning but it's also beautiful at night during sunset. Will certainly recommend to go there and spend time just looking at the breathtaking landscape.

The mirador is the perfect place to view the Alhambra on the opposite hill. Had time allowed i would have spent another hour or so here. It is a bit of a climb but manageable with an average level of fitness. My photos don't do justice to the shear scale of the Alhambra, unfortunately the sun was on the wrong side to light it the way I would have liked.
