Seville

When to go

Spring and autumn are particularly good for a visit. Summer temperatures can be very high, making mornings and evenings more comfortable for walks.

Things to see and do

Visit Seville Cathedral, the Alcázar and Plaza de España, walk through Santa Cruz and along the Guadalquivir.

Practical tips

Early booking is recommended for the Alcázar and other popular sights. A longer midday break is sensible on hot days.

Getting there and getting around

Seville has an international airport and high-speed rail connections to Madrid and other major Spanish cities.

Where to stay

Santa Cruz is close to many sights. The area around Alameda has more restaurants and nightlife, while Triana is known for its local atmosphere.

What to try

Try salmorejo, espinacas con garbanzos, local tapas and dishes made with Iberian pork.
