Old town
In the city centre
A mediaeval maze. Old Town is a tangled labyrinth of snaking passageways that hum with local bars. Grab a “caña” (small beer) at El Salvador Square, then dive into Seville’s illustrious history. The colossal cathedral and indulgent Alcázar Palace speak of competing legacies, as successive dynasties vied to put their architectural stamp on the city.

Macarena
1.3 miles from city centre
Tip-top for tapas. This residential district is awash with excellent eateries. Start off with an up-market appetiser at Bar Yebra, then wander across to La Pastora, which is famed for its fried fish. Work off the calories with a wander to La Macarena Basilica, and join devout locals as they murmur Hail Marys to the weeping Macarena Virgin.

Nervión
1 miles from city centre
New-fangled Nervión. This area’s been in a state of constant renovation for years. Its wide avenues are lined with office blocks, where sharp-suited businesspeople stride in and out. The mood changes on match days. Sevilla FC’s famously ebullient supporters fill the Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium with deafening cheers and jeers. Footy fans can’t miss it.
Places to stay from £17 per night
Triana
0.6 miles from city centre
Olé! Triana fizzes with folklore. It’s here that flamenco music took off, and no trip to Seville is complete without a visit to Calle Betis’ authentic “tablaos” (flamenco bars). To dig into Triana’s chequered past, go to Castillo San Jorge. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition’s old HQ to have transformed into a museum about its dastardly deeds.

Los Remedios
0.9 miles from city centre
Roll up, roll up! Once a year, all eyes turn to Los Remedios, when Seville’s legendary April Fair rolls into town. Impatient locals have spent a whole year waiting for this moment. It’s a whirl of colour, as people meet, greet and eat in true Sevillano style. Dig out that frilly dress and dust down your castanets – it’s party time!
Places to stay from £25 per night
In Seville, not only is the weather hot and sunny for most of the year, but the city is bursting with colour. Think ripe oranges dangling from green trees, golden sandstone buildings adorned in blue and white tiles, and glasses of red wine served with Manchego cheese.
Known as ‘Sevilla’ in Spanish, this historic city is best explored on foot. Soak up the laid-back vibes along the banks of River Guadalquivir, or stroll along the footpaths of María Lucía Park to Plaza de España Square. Located on the park’s edge, this magnificent square flaunts a variety of architectural styles, and four bridges that represent each of Spain’s ancient kingdoms. You can hire a rowing boat and slowly make your way along the curved moat that runs beneath them.
The Andalusian capital is also home to Spain’s largest cathedral. Be sure to get a good look at the Gothic-style exterior before entering to see the tomb of none other than Christopher Columbus. And you can find peace in the neighbouring Alcázar of Seville – a grand and iconic example of Mudéjar architecture, with its beautiful mosaic-tiled interior and sumptuous gardens known for their cascading fountains.
Seville hums with energy at night, from crowded tapas bars to nightly performances at the Flamenco Museum – a gorgeous 18th-century building built on the foundations of an old Roman temple.

Beautiful city.
20 September 2024
Beautiful city. Can be very hot but the city is geared up to provide shade with pretty parks, narrow streets, overhead shading in shopping areas and many restaurants have cool mist spray over outdoor seating areas. Walkable city to see most attractions. Lots and lots of tapas bars, quality varied. Difficult to find non tapas eateries but can highly recommend an excellent Italian restaurant called Al Lado in Santa Cruz
Booming city, great vibe, delicious food everywhere.

Booming city, great vibe, delicious food everywhere. One of the most interesting cities I visited in Europe. Condedê was my favourite restaurant, super chill and with great music and ambience. The perfect city to mingle and meet new interesting people.
Lots to see.
19 September 2024
Lots to see. I booked tickets for the Cathedral & Alcázar before travelling & would recommend this to stop you having to queue in the heat.Both sites are with visiting The hop on hop off sightseeing bus was great for orientating us to the city landmarks & was a nice thing to do when it got quite hot & uncomfortable to walk a lot. Seville is an easily walkable city,I think 3 days would be an ideal time to spend getting a flavour of the city
Enjoyed:
18 September 2024
Enjoyed: * the local cuisine & wines; * walking the streets admiring the architecture & colours of the well preserved buildings in the old town; * seeing the Plaza Espana - a must see sight! and lastly, but most importantly, the locals who were very polite & helpful

Seville is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been...
14 September 2024
Seville is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been to. I love the architecture, music, shopping, design, and the carriages. I could see spending a lot more time there and will go back as soon as possible. The Plaza de España by itself is worth the trip, but there are so many things to see and do. And also the loveliness of doing very little if that is what you like, watching the carriages and people go by, listening to a guitar player, enjoying the beautiful weather and lovely gardens all over the place. Sitting by the river with a cocktail watching the sunset, of course flamenco, and just general civility and elegance. Great place
