The Sacromonte, home of flamenco, offers many shows and views of the palaces. The city offers many different types of shops and uncountable places to eat and drink. An open top tourist bus with audio commentary in English (12 Euros for 24 hours, hop on, hop off) is the best way to the city. It leaves from the cathedral every 30 minutes. A micro bus from the Plaza Nueva, one euro, drives up through the tortuously narrow streets of the Albayzin. It is recommended to alight at St. Nicholas Square to take in the wonderful view of the Alhambra before strolling down the cobbled alleys through the Albayzin Moorish quarter with its colourful souks and tea shops. There are markets, including the big flea market on Saturday near the Science Park. The city has a lively nightlife with from discos to concerts at the Manuel de Falla centre. The best experience of course is to simply wander from square to square and people watch.
