<\/p>\nGranada is a city to be savoured. Some cities are more monumental and tourist-focused, like Barcelona; others more institutional, like Madrid; and then there are cities like Granada that must be experienced in every street, square and local bar. To make your school trip a unique experience that your group will carry as an unforgettable memory, your travel itinerary cannot be reduced to a list of monuments to visit and a programme that covers only museums and churches. Do you know what to do on your school trip to Granada? We suggest a list of the best experiences the group can share in this city. Ten things to do on your school trip to Granada!<\/p>\n
Although cultural visits are valuable and interesting, a school trip to Granada cannot become a box-ticking exercise. The importance of sharing different experiences with lifelong friends \u2014 or of discovering \u00abnew companions\u00bb with whom there was no prior connection before the trip \u2014 becomes essential for a genuinely enriching school trip in every sense. Sunsets, walks, evening gatherings, multi-adventure activities, games in the squares\u2026 everything counts towards enjoying the beautiful city of Granada to the full.<\/p>\n

Situated on the hill of San Miguel, this chapel enjoys one of the most impressive views of the city of Granada from above. It stands on the site formerly occupied by the Tower of Aceitunas, dating from the Moorish period \u2014 one of the largest Nasrid watchtowers in the entire defensive circuit of Granada. The tower was demolished in 1671 to make way for a chapel dedicated to Saint Michael. Watching the sunset from here is one of the experiences to cherish on a school trip to Granada. It is a memory that is hard to forget \u2014 though the steep climb up to the chapel, situated at the top of the Albaic\u00edn neighbourhood, will also be remembered.<\/p>\n
The view of the Alhambra from this viewpoint is, without doubt, the most iconic image of the city of Granada. The complete Alhambra complex, framed by the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, is the perfect postcard for an outstanding school trip. This viewpoint, located in the heart of the Albaic\u00edn, is one of the most visited spots in the city \u2014 if you want to see the sunset from here, you should arrive at least an hour early. The place is full of magic at this hour, with street stalls and musicians, and an atmosphere of warmth all around.<\/p>\n
One of the most popular streets in Granada is Calle Calderer\u00eda Nueva, also known as the street of the teahouses of Granada. This street will transport you directly to Morocco, and visiting it immediately becomes another of the must-have experiences on your school trip to Granada. Strolling along it, buying a souvenir, and enjoying an authentic Moorish tea in one of the many teahouses is an absolute must.<\/p>\n
It is impossible to visit Granada without seeing the Alhambra in its entirety \u2014 it would be unthinkable!

Gardens, fountains, archways, courtyards and many other special places. The Alhambra is a wonder in every single corner. The Court of the Lions is a symbol of its decorative richness and the significance of the complex’s hydraulic system. In 2016 it was the second most visited monument in Spain, behind the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia, receiving a record 2,615,188 visitors. It is composed principally of these historic monuments:<\/p>\n
One of Granada’s best-kept secrets is the Casa del Chapiz. This house is home to the School of Arab Studies of Granada, and we can assure you that once you step through its door you will see one of the most beautiful buildings in the entire city. A leisurely stroll through its gardens and admiring their beauty is a compulsory stop on your school trip.<\/p>\n
Granada is a city that must be visited at night at least once in a lifetime. When the sun sets and all the lights come on, Granada’s charm, far from fading, dazzles you even more. Walking along the River Darro and the Paseo de los Tristes, enjoying tapas in the Albaic\u00edn at night, or going to see the Alhambra are among the most incredible experiences of your visit to Granada. The night-time visit to the Alhambra is one of the city’s best-kept secrets and one of the most beautiful views of Granada at night, from viewpoints such as Lin-dar-Aixa.<\/p>\n
The Paseo de los Tristes winds between the Alhambra and the Albaic\u00edn, following the course of the River Darro, past little bars, alleyways, historic bridges and beautiful typical Andalusian houses. Walking the full length of it is one of the unmissable experiences of your school trip to Granada. Enjoying the sunshine, taking in the spectacular view of the Alhambra, having an ice cream or listening to street musicians are just some of the things you can do along the way.<\/p>\n
