Capilla Real de GranadaRoyal Chapel of Granada: Opening Hours
Admission windows
The ticket office closes at 13:30 (no admission after that) and again at 18:30. If you arrive after 13:30, you cannot get in until the afternoon shift opens again (I do not have the exact afternoon-shift start time; the official site lists it).
Special closures and feast days
The Chapel is closed 25 December, 1 January, and Good Friday. On 2 January and 12 October, the Chapel opens in the afternoon only, from 15:00. Corpus Christi and other moveable liturgical holidays may shift hours. Always re-check on the official site capillarealgranada.com if you are planning a visit on or near a religious observance.
Quietest times
Right at 10:00 or 11:00 opening, before the mid-day crowd. And 14:00–16:00, while Granada eats lunch and the siesta happens. August midday is loudest.
