How it works

A real, live guide and a headset that takes you to the past

Virtual reality does not replace the guide: it brings the story to life. You compare what is in front of you with what stood there centuries ago.

  1. Meet your guide

    At the Málaga Tourist Information Office, next to the Alcazaba. You go in together, without queuing.

  2. Put on the headset

    At each of the 3 stops you use a state-of-the-art VR headset. It is very easy to wear, for children too.

  3. Travel through time

    11 historical scenes in 360° with sound: look around and the Alcazaba is back as it once was.

FAQ

Before you book

How does a virtual reality tour work?

Virtual reality is used to expand on what your guide tells you. With the VR headset and the recreation of historical spaces you compare the present with the past, in 360° scenes with sound. At some stops you put on the headset, which is very easy to use, and relive moments from history.

Is entry to the Alcazaba included?

Yes. The price includes entry to the monument, the guide and the use of the headset.

Can I cancel or change the date?

You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the activity starts.

How long does the Alcazaba visit take?

About 90 minutes, with 3 virtual reality stops. You go in with the guide, skipping the queue, and the ticket is already included in the price.

What time is the tour?

Choose a day and time in the booking calendar on this page: it shows the tours with free places. The last tour starts at 4:00 pm.

Is there a guided tour in English?

Yes, the tour runs in Spanish and English. You choose your group’s language when you book.

Can children come?

Yes. From the age of 7 they use their own headset; children under 7 can come and share one with an adult. Under-16s must always be with an adult.

I wear glasses. Can I use them with the VR headset?

We recommend wearing contact lenses, which is more comfortable. If your frames are not too big and fit inside the glasses, you can use them without any problem.
