Seville
Seville, the sun-drenched capital of Andalusia, blends Moorish palaces, a soaring Gothic cathedral, and orange-tree-lined plazas with the tapas-and-flamenco rhythm of daily life along the Guadalquivir River. It's a city built for wandering on foot, where centuries of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish heritage sit side by side in a compact, walkable old town.
Top attractions
attraction Catedral de Sevilla: Seville Travel Guide
Seville's Catedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, built atop the old Almohad mosque, and it's worth a full morning: climb the Giralda for rooftop-and-city views, then find Columbus's tomb held aloft by four bronze kings.
attraction La Giralda: Seville Travel Guide
La Giralda is the bell tower of Seville Cathedral, rising over the Casco Antiguo at Av. de la Constitución, s/n.
attraction Plaza de España: Seville Travel Guide
Plaza de España sits inside María Luisa Park, a 15-20 minute walk from the cathedral or a short hop on bus C1/C2 or the tram to Prado de San Sebastián.
attraction Royal Alcázar of Seville: Travel Guide
The Royal Alcázar of Seville is a still-functioning royal palace in the Casco Antiguo, prized for its Mudéjar palace rooms, tiled courtyards, and sprawling gardens — plan 2.5–3 hours and book timed-entry tickets online well in advance, since it regularly sells out.
