Capilla Real de GranadaDress Code for the Royal Chapel of Granada
Why the dress code
The Chapel is consecrated ground and a working religious building. Masses happen there. The dress code is not ornamental; it is respect for the space.
Shoulders and knees
Both covered. Tank tops, sleeveless dresses, and very short shorts do not belong here. You will be turned away if you arrive in them. Bring a cardigan or a wrap if you plan to wear a sleeveless top.
Temperature and what to wear
The Chapel stays cool year-round, even in August. A reviewer on one of the tours warned: "Bring a layer even in 25°C heat outside." Bring a cardigan, a light jacket, or a scarf. Stone holds cold.
Large bags
Backpacks and large rucksacks are discouraged. Bring a crossbody bag or a small rucksack if you must.
