🏛️ Essential Travel Guide to Seville

Here’s everything you need to know to plan your visit to Seville, one of Spain’s most charming cities.

How Many Days Should You Spend in Seville?

One of the first questions travelers ask is: How many days do I need to see Seville?
There’s no perfect answer, since everyone travels at their own pace. However, 2 to 3 days is enough to get a good feel for the city and its main attractions.

Must-See Monuments

1. Alcázar of Seville

Don’t leave Seville without visiting the Alcázar. From the outside, it may not look very impressive, as its walls hide the entrance, but once inside, the Mudejar palace will leave you amazed.

2. Seville Cathedral & Giralda

The Cathedral and Giralda are unmissable. Even though the cathedral looks large from the outside, its true size is astonishing. Be sure to climb the Giralda tower—from the top, the whole city spreads out beneath you.

Tip: You can explore these highlights together on the guided tour called “Essential Seville.”

Parks & Squares

Take a leisurely stroll through María Luisa Park, either on foot or by carriage, and don’t miss the stunning Plaza de España, one of Seville’s most iconic spots.

Riverside & Neighborhoods

Set aside time for the riverfront, where you’ll find:

• Torre del Oro (Golden Tower)

• The bullring in the Arenal neighborhood

• Cross the Isabel II Bridge to reach Triana, a charming district perfect for a tapas break.

Another great walk takes you to the city center, where you should visit:

• Church of El Salvador (included with the cathedral ticket), a masterpiece of Sevillian Baroque
