Hello, everyone
I noticed on the suggested visit route on the Alhambra website, the Palace of Charles V and the Museum of the Alhambra are not included.
Has anyone gone there? Was there anything unique or worthwhile to see there?
We will be in Spain for over a month, so we will also being going to Segovia, Toledo, Madrid, El Escorial, Seville.
We're the type of tourist that do not feel we have to see every detail of a place. Just the major highlights are enough. My husband's brain starts to shut down after about an hour of sightseeing. So, the question is, should I drag him into the Museum?
Thank you so much.

If you are already in the Alhambra why would you not swing by the Palace. You can walk through it in 30 minutes.

The museum is interesting and inexpensive. It's worth the cost, but it's not a highlight. If your husband gets overloaded, it's fine to skip. It is inside the Charles V palace as is an art museum (also interesting but skipable).
The Charles V Palace itself other than the museum sections above, is free. Not much is open to the public, just the courtyard, but it is worth a quick pop in. There's also a gift shop inside.
Charles V Palace is next to the entrance to Nasrid Palace and across from the Alcazaba so you will be nearby

Thank you, Frank and Mira. We'll see how much energy we have left after Palacios Nazaries and go from there. A quick pop-in into the courtyard might work for my husband, but he may be too burnt out for the Museum.
