For a complete list of day trips from Granada (including places where there are no professional guided tours), see Day Trips from Granada.

1. Guided Tour of Seville (from Granada)

A full day tour of Seville, starting and finishing in Granada. Seville warrants longer than a day, but if you're pressed for time, this tour is excellent.

If you have six or more people in your group, you'd be better off going for the Private version of this tour (see further down the page).

2. Guided Tour of Cordoba (from Granada)

A tour of Cordoba that picks you up in Granada and returns you there at night. Includes a visit to the world famous "Mezquita" (great mosque).

3. Tour of the Tropical Coast and Caves of Nerja (from Granada)

Public transport to Nerja and the coast in general is quite poor, so unless you are hiring a car, this is perhaps the best way for you to see the region.

4. Tour of the Sierra Nevada (from Granada)
