Granada is not a huge city, all of the things worth visiting are located in a small area in the centre so you can walk easily to get to the main points. The old Granada is settled at the top of a hill, so to go to the old Muslim quarter or to the Alhambra by foot requires some physical effort, but the walk is spectacular and really worth it. However if you feel tired, it's raining or you just wish to use the public transport don't worry because the system is very good, and they are investing in the future with projects such as the metro.

• Local buses - you can either pay about 1 euro per trip on entering the bus (try and have small change) or buy a "Bonobus" ticket, 8 journeys for around 5 euros. These tickets are available from cigarette kiosks called "Tabacos" or inside the bus - just ask the driver for a "Bonobus". There are very regular "mini-bus" services to the Albayzín and Alhambra, small buses specially designed to cope with the windy, narrow streets.
• Longer distance buses - ideal for visiting some the wonderful coast of Granada or the relaxing towns of Las Alpujarras as well as Sierra Nevada. The main bus station is in the north of the city, but easily reachable by bus or taxi. There is the only one bus station in Granada.
• Taxis - fares are strictly controlled in the official city taxis. You can ask a driver what the fare will be to a given destination, and he will pull out a chart from which he or she can calculate the figure virtually to the cent. Meters are not so common. Fares increase as normal for journeys in the early hours of the morning or at night.
• Trains - the main station, Estación de Ferrocariles de Granada, is located near to the city centre, about 15 minutes walk. Generally bus connections in Granada are much better if you want to travel within the city centre.
• Burro-taxi in the Albayzín - before this quarter was declared World Heritage by the UNESCO, some people used horses and donkeys to get up there (tradionally the gypsies) but nowadays only donkies can go along some streets of the Albayzín and the other quarters up there such as the Sacromonte, or the Alhambra. Almost nobody uses them today, but it is fun! Visit the following web page for further details, http://www.granadatur.com
