Visit the Alcázar and the Cathedral

They are the two most outstanding monuments in the city. The Alcázar is the oldest royal palace in the world that is still in use. Inside you will discover the Mudejar jewel of our province, as well as some magnificent and pleasant gardens where you can get lost. The Cathedral is the largest Gothic temple in the world, inside you can see the tomb of Christopher Columbus, as well as other treasures. With the same ticket you can climb the Giralda Tower and admire the views of the city.

Also essential is to visit the Maria Luisa Park, where you can also admire the famous Plaza de España and Plaza de América, the old pavilions of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 and the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs or the Archaeological Museum.

Barrio de Santa Cruz

Stroll through the Barrio de Santa Cruz. The old Jewish quarter of the city has a special charm, as its narrow streets will transport you to other times in which merchants and different cultures mingled to trade in the area.

See a Flamenco Show

Flamenco was born in Seville and this is probably the best place in the world to appreciate this art form. There are numerous flamenco options every day, with great quality and quite cheap. You can consult them here or take our Flamenco and Food Tour in the unique Triana neighborhood

Walk around in Triana

This neighborhood on the other side of the river is as old as the center, but has a special eccentricity to it. It is an ideal area to admire the pottery kilns and buy a nice clay souvenir.
