The 30 and 32 Lines of the city bus have the following stops in the Alhambra complex: 1 The Ticket Offices (Entrance Pavilion), 2 Torre de las Cabezas [Tower of the Heads], near the Charles V Palace and the Nasrid Palaces, and 3, the Puerta de la Justicia [Gate of Justice], the nearest to the Alcazaba.

On foot:
If you like walking, the best option is to go up on foot from Plaza Nueva, through the woods, along the street Cuesta de Gomérez, or to go up the street Cuesta de los Chinos, from the Paseo de los Tristes or through the Realejo quarter, to the Hotel Alhambra Palace from the square Campo del Principe. All the options on foot involve a quite steep climb of approximately 1 km.
