Nous voulons visiter l'Alhambra en Mai. Je vais donc sur le site de réservation via la banque Caixa et le calendrier n'accepte les réservations que jusqu'en Avril et ce depuis le mois de Décembre. Est-ce normal ? Je lis que l'on peut réserver une année à l'avance .... je ne comprends pas 😠
Ensuite cela me semble bien compliqué, ne comprenant que très mal l'espagnol, je crains de faire des bêtises.
Merci de me venir en aide 😉
Sur la page d'accueil est précisé ceci :
Vente à l'avance. Il est possible d'acheter des billets trois mois avant la visite. Il est également possible de les acheter par téléphone, en appelant au service de la banque La Caixa 902888001 en Espagne ou bien au 003493492375, si vous appelez de l'étranger. Je pense que c'est pour ça que tu ne peux accéder au joli mois de mai 🙂
je n'avais pas eu de problème avec ce site , je vais rechercher le voucher pour vérifier ( peut être effectivement , n'avons nous pas réservé plus de 3 mois à l'avance ...)
Merci pour vos réponses.
Effectivement on ne peut réserver que 3 mois à l'avance. Je ne dois pas savoir lire 😊 Je vais donc attendre le mois prochain pour effectuer ces réservations et m'aider du lien très explicite que vous m'avez donné.
Je pense que ça va marcher. Merci à tous 😇
Nous sommes allés à Grenade mi juin l'an dernier et avons réservé la veille au soir pour le lendemain matin. (En camping car nous ne savions pas à l'avance quel jour nous y serions.
Pour celà, nous nous sommes rendus à l'Alambra , à pieds depuis l'arrêt de bus, au guichet sur la place pour réservé. Je pense qu'en plus les prix sont moins élevés que dans les hôtels ou en ville.
Bonsoir,
Pour être allé à Grenade en Mai 2009, nous n'avions rien réservé avant, nous l'avons fait sur place à notre arrivée l'après-midi, dans une banque et avons eu nos billets pour la visite du lendemain matin ! Cela a peut-être changé ? Je sais qu'il ya un quota de visites par jour, mais, à la même époque, nous n'avons pas eu de problèmes ! Même si en arrivant, vous n'avez les billets que pour le sur-lendemain, cela ne me parait pas bien grave compte-tenu des nombreux sites à visiter à Grenade.
Bon Voyage en Andalousie,
Alain
Bonjour tout le monde,
J'ai également pensé zapper la réservation et ne le faire que une fois sur place, mais nous sommes déjà allé à Grenade il y a 5 ans à la même époque et il n'y avait plus d'entrées, alors je crains que ça ne fasse pareil.
Je me laisse jusqu'à fin février pour prendre ma décision.
Merci à tous et bon WE
Bonsoir,
L'avantage de réserver à l'avance sur le site, c'est qu'on peut choisir son heure d'entrée dans le Palais Nasrides.
Avec mes voucher j'ai pu retirer mes billets la veille, dans un bureau , situé Plaza Nueva, adresse donnée par l'Office du tourisme de la Plaza Sta Ana, juste à côté.
NB: sur les billets est également indiquée l'heure d'entrée pour le Generalife, que nous n'avons pas visité pour 15 mn de retard.....cuidado!
Merci pour toutes ces informations.
Si aprés ça nous loupons les visites c'est que nous y aurons mis vraiment de la mauvaise volonté.
Je pensais également demander à l'hotel où nous dormons pour 2 nuits, s'ils pouvaient nous réserver les entrées.
Par contre au risque de paraître bête (mais j'assume ... ) que veut dire "voucher" 😮 ?
Merci à tous 😉
Merci, j'ai appris quelque chose aujourd'hui, juste avant d'aller au lit ! ! ! 😏 il était temps ....
Sincèrement je ne savais même pas que ce mot existait.
Merci également pour cette magnifique photo, il me tarde de découvrir cette région d' espagne 😉. Nous partons en ayant organisé seuls notre voyage: avion, résé d'hotels, voiture ...c'est une première, j'espère que nous ne serons pas déçus.
Bonne soirée ou journée ... tout dépend de l'heure de lecture 😛
Vous êtes parmis les exceptions qui confirment la règle !
J'accompagne règulièrement des amis ou de la famille en visite "chez moi", et mis à part au plus creux de l'hiver, il y a toujours des files d'attente pour les billets "entrée immédiate", et souvent les gens qui font la queue voient leur patience mal récompensée.😕
Notre ami qui part bientôt, nous fera part (peut être) de son expérience au retour.
Merci pour "l'exception...", tu m'as remonté le moral 😕, moi qui croyait être comme tout le monde "comme la règle".
Trêve de plaisanterie, tu as parfaitement raison, il y a toujours une file d'attente à l'entré de l'Alhambra, mais celle-ci dépend de beaucoup de facteurs, par exemple de la saison, du mois, du jour de semaine...et puis aussi de la chance, des fois que tu te trouves le seul à l'entrée😄. En bref, il faut s'armer d'un peu de patience si on veut visiter ce joyau d'Espagne car en fin de compte on n'a pas attendu pour rien😎.
J'ai fait un tour dans ton blog. Elles sont chouettes les photos, compliments pour la présentation et bonne continuation.
We're heading to Genoa and the Cinque Terre in mid-October for a full week. We're planning to spend two and a half days—three nights—in the Cinque Terre. The idea is to hike between the villages and use the train (or boat) for the trip out (or back). We're thinking of staying overnight, and I was wondering which village to prioritize.
From January 1st to 4th, I’m heading to Barcelona for the first time. Beyond the tourist sites—which are going to cost me an arm and a leg!!—I’d love to spend a day off the beaten path and see some less touristy spots.
What do you recommend? I’ll be getting around on foot, by metro, or possibly by train if it’s not too far. I love both nature and cultural spots.
And one last thing—is Barcelona at night safe for a woman alone, or is it sketchy?
We’re traveling next summer with our three kids, ages 9 to 15. We’ll arrive in Cork by ferry with our car. We’d like to stay several nights at each stop to settle in, take our time, and stay flexible depending on the weather!
What do you think of this 18-day itinerary:
- Day 1: Arrival around 9:30 AM, drive to Kinsale to visit the village and Charles Fort, then accommodation
- Day 2: Blarney Castle + Cork, then accommodation
- Day 3: Travel to Kenmare (stopping at Gougane Barra?)
- Day 4: Glengariff and surrounding area
- Day 5: Healy Pass + southern Beara
- Day 6: Gap of Dunloe + Kenmare and Reenagross Park
- Day 7: Dursey Island
- Day 8: Killarney National Park
- Day 9: Travel to Clare (stopping at Bunratty)
- Day 10: Kilkee + Loop Head
- Day 11: The Burren
- Day 12: Aran Islands
- Day 13: Travel day to Connemara (stopping at Roundstone and Dog’s Bay or via Galway?)
- Day 14: Clifden + Sky Road + beach
- Day 15: Diamond Hill
- Day 16: Kylemore Abbey + Killary Fjord
- Day 17: Drive back to Cork (stopping at Cahir)
- Day 18: Departure
Hi there, after reading a well-known travel guide, it seems like there’s a lot to see and do in Valletta (I’m only talking about Valletta itself). That’s why I’m thinking of spending 2 days there. I don’t want to rush and would like to get a complete overview. However, I’ve noticed that some travelers only spend one day there. For those who know the city well, what do you think? (I’ve also planned the Three Cities for another day, by the way).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Our accommodation for 5 days will be near a "Carrefour by Deliveroo Hop." There doesn’t seem to be anything else nearby (it’s a very residential area).
I can’t figure out if it’s delivery-only or if you can also do your grocery shopping there. Does anyone know this type of store and could help me out, please?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I called, but I don’t speak Italian and the store doesn’t speak English—so they hung up on me.
Hi,
I’ve found my upcoming trip for February, and now I’m looking for a one-week getaway in April—somewhere not too far with generally nice weather. Any tips?
Best,😉
Hi everyone, we’re a group of 11 people (including 3 kids under 4) who’d like to do a wine tasting tour starting from Florence (we haven’t rented a car) in Chianti.
We’re looking for an organized tour that leaves from Florence and lets the adults do some wine tasting (and olive oil tasting if possible).
For those who’ve done this tour, do you have any suggestions for tour names that organize these kinds of events? What should we look out for before booking these tours?
Hi, who’s familiar with the Algarve?
Lagos—should I go for a rental or a hotel? How do I get from the airport to the seaside, and how do I get around the city? What’s there to see and do?
Thanks for your ideas and tips!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
I’m looking for some great tips for a stay in Palma de Mallorca this summer.
I need cheap flights departing from Toulouse and affordable accommodation for 4 people.
What do you recommend?
Best regards,
