Early Arrival or Late Departure in Granada? What to Do

Two moments can ruin (or save) a trip to Granada: the first day, when you arrive but cannot check in yet, and the last one, when you have checked out but your train or flight leaves hours later. The good news: with your luggage safely stored, those dead hours turn into extra time to enjoy the city.

The first-day and last-day problem

Check-in is usually 2-3 pm and check-out 11 am. That leaves a gap of several hours with your suitcase in tow, in a city full of slopes, steps and cobblestones. Dragging it around the Albaicín or the Alhambra is no fun.

The solution: a 24/7 locker in the centre

Leaving your luggage at a locker in central Granada costs from about EUR 5.75 per day and frees you completely. As it is open 24/7, you collect it whenever you want, even at night if your transport leaves late.

Arriving early: make the most of the morning

You arrived at 9 am and the hotel does not open until 2 pm. Drop your suitcase and:

  • Have breakfast in the centre and stroll the Cathedral and the Alcaicería.
  • Go up to the Alhambra if you have a ticket (remember: light, no large bags).
  • Wander the Carrera del Darro up to the Albaicín.

Leaving late: squeeze the last day

Checked out at 11 am and a train at 8 pm. Instead of waiting at the station, leave your luggage in the centre and:

  • Do the midday tapas route.
  • Enjoy a final sunset viewpoint (San Nicolás).
  • Pick up your suitcase on the way to the station, no rush.
