10 Places You Cannot Miss in Seville
1. The Giralda and the Cathedral of Seville
A classic that never goes out of style. Climbing the Giralda is mandatory: the panoramic views of the city are simply spectacular. Furthermore, it is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. Did you know that the remains of Christopher Columbus rest here?
2. Royal Alcázar of Seville
It looks like a palace straight out of a One Thousand and One Nights fairy tale. Exotic gardens, Mudejar courtyards, and a magical atmosphere. It has been a setting for series like Game of Thrones, and it’s easy to see why.
3. Plaza de España
A masterpiece of Andalusian regionalism. Strolling through this square is like traveling back in time. It is also one of the favorite spots for taking photos: curves, tiles, and perfect reflections.
4. Triana Neighborhood
Authentic, with a flamenco soul and a taste for tapas. Crossing the Guadalquivir River via the Triana Bridge, you will discover one of the neighborhoods with the most personality in Seville. Ideal for dinner, listening to live music, or simply letting yourself go.
5. Metropol Parasol (Las Setas)
Modern, groundbreaking, very “urban sense.” This gigantic wooden viewpoint in the heart of Plaza de la Encarnación offers incredible views and a contemporary air to the historic city.
6. María Luisa Park
A green oasis where you can get lost without rushing. Ideal for a picnic, a bike ride, or simply resting under the shade of its centuries-old trees. It is right next to the Plaza de España.
7. General Archive of the Indies
A World Heritage Site and a gem for history lovers. Much of the documentation related to the discovery of America is kept here.
8. Calle Sierpes and Surroundings
If shopping is your thing, you cannot miss walking along this street full of life, local shops, cafes, and charming corners. Very close by, you will also find boutiques and more alternative options.
9. Casa de Pilatos
A lesser-known but spectacular palace. A mixture of styles and cultures: Mudejar, Renaissance, Gothic... A perfect corner for those looking for less touristy and more authentic places.
10. Sunset at the Torre del Oro
One of the best plans in the city. Stroll along the Guadalquivir and enjoy the sunset with the golden silhouette of the tower reflected in the water. A perfect end to a day in Seville.
