Which one to choose in Granada
Two churches in Granada. Basilica of Saint John of God has 1 ticket or tour to book; Royal Chapel of Granada has 6 tickets and tours to book. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Granada, Spain
The Basilica of San Juan de Dios stands on Calle San Juan de Dios in the centre of Granada, Andalusia, Spain, and a ticket is required, including an audio guide, which covers the basilica, the camarín and the museum. It is one of the most spectacular baroque interiors in Spain, and it is often less crowded than the Alhambra or the cathedral.
Granada, Spain
The chapel has its own cheap ticket, separate from the cathedral it adjoins, and the two are usually bought together either at the desks or as part of a guided tour of both. Audio guides are available. The chapel is small and admits a limited number at a time, so a coach group can mean a wait of twenty minutes; going early avoids it. Guided tours combining chapel, cathedral and the surrounding streets cost several times the entry and are worth it for the historical thread, since this building is where the Reconquista is buried and the cathedral next door is what came after.
