Granada Metro - Map and Stations, Timetables, Prices and Where to Buy

The Granada Metro crosses the city from north to south, joining the capital with the nearby villages of Armilla, Albolote and Maracena.


Probably the correct name should be the Light Metro or Trams, because only three stops are underground.

The average speed, that includes stops at metro stations, is approximately 20 kilometers per hour, with a 20 second stop. Each train will have air conditioning, video surveillance cameras and capacity for 200 people.

Granada Metro Timetables and Frequencies

The tram run every day of the week, from Monday to Sunday, from 6:30 to 23:00 (from 7:30 on Saturdays and Sundays).

On Fridays, Saturdays and eve of holidays: there is night service from 11 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. with a frequency of 30 minutes.

The frequency is every 10 minutes in rush hour, and 30 minutes when there is less demand (first hours of the morning and at night).

How to enter the train? Are there any reserved areas?

You can enter or leave the train through any door.

There is an area on each train reserved for people in wheelchair or with baby strollers.

Use the double doors to access these areas that are located next to them.

You can take your bike on to a train when there are not many people.

What is better, to use the metro or to travel by buses?

The metro does not reach the majority of the tourist attractions of Granada and the metro card cannot be used on the city buses.

You would need to buy two travel cards, one for the metro and another one for the buses. Also the money left on the cards (trips/money not used) will not be returned.

It is more practical for a tourist (who is only visiting Granada) to use only the city buses (unless you need to go to the villages Albolote or Armilla).

The fares for travel on buses and the metro are similar, and by bus you can get to all the tourist attractions.
