Seville things to do
The Plaza de España
Translated as the Spanish Square, this vast plaza is an undeniable feat of architectural brilliance. The design blends a range of styles like Neo-Mudejar and Art-Deco to create a lavish monument with ornate towers. Stroll the picturesque grounds, discover tiled alcoves painted with historical depictions from each Spanish province, and enjoy a boat ride through little canals with Venetian-like bridges.
Parque de Maria Luisa
Maria Luisa Park is a sprawling green oasis with tiled fountains, decorative pavilions and shimmering ponds. Walks here are accompanied by the sweet scents of Mediterranean palms and fragrant orange trees. Serving as a botanical garden, this park is home to a variety of flora, museums, the Plaza de España, as well as stunning monuments to Spain's literary past.
The Royal Alcazar of Seville
This magnificent palace, still in use by the Spanish royal family, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain's most visited attractions. Renowned as one of the most beautiful examples of Mudejar architecture, you can stroll the beautiful courtyards and ornate grounds. Discover the decorative arches, lavish private quarters and sprawling gardens of this palace. A must-see.
Seville Cathedral
One of the largest cathedrals in the world, Seville Cathedral is a breathtaking example of Gothic architecture, It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the burial place of Christopher Columbus. Admire the exterior and interior of the building, then climb the ramps of the belltower known as La Giralda and you'll be rewarded with the best view in the city.
Seville Flamenco
Often argued as the birthplace of flamenco, Seville is home to lively shows across the city throughout the year. This traditional artform is considered by UNESCO as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Professional flamenco performances certainly do not disappoint.
