About Seville

Seville is the capital of Andalusia and sits on the Guadalquivir river in southern Spain. The old centre is compact: the cathedral, the Alcázar and the Santa Cruz quarter are all within walking distance of each other.

It is a city of orange trees, tiled patios and late evenings. You eat tapas standing at the bar, and flamenco is at home across the river in Triana.

Best time to go
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable. July and August often go above 35°C. Around Easter (Semana Santa) and during the Feria de Abril the city is full and hotels cost more.
From the airport
Seville Airport (SVQ) is about 10 kilometres from the centre. The airport bus (line EA) and taxis run into the city.
Getting around
The centre is best on foot. For longer distances there are buses, a tram line through the centre and rental bikes.

What to see in Seville

  • Cathedral and GiraldaOne of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world. The Giralda, its bell tower, was once the minaret of the mosque that stood here.
  • Real AlcázarA royal palace with Mudéjar halls and large gardens. Book a time slot in advance.
  • Plaza de EspañaA semicircular square with a canal and tiled benches, built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, on the edge of María Luisa Park.
  • Las SetasThe wooden canopy of the Metropol Parasol, with a walkway across the roof and views over the city.

Neighbourhoods

  • Santa CruzThe old Jewish quarter beside the cathedral: narrow lanes, small squares and plenty of terraces.
  • TrianaAcross the river. Known for ceramics, flamenco and the market hall by the bridge.

Food and drink

Tapas are ordered one at a time at the bar. Try salmorejo (cold tomato soup), espinacas con garbanzos (spinach with chickpeas) and jamón ibérico. People eat late: lunch around two, dinner from about nine.
