Most Viewed Things to Do in Sevilla

  • 1. Alcazar

    The Real Alcázar was the first sight I visited in Seville, and definitely the most impressive. As a former student of Islamic Studies I was especially intrigued by the Arab-influenced parts of the...   more
  • 2. Cathedral

    The Cathedral is a really impressive building. It is built in Gothic style (a favorite of mine) and the third-largest church in the world. It has a beautiful orange courtyard, you can climb the tower,...   more
  • 3. Plaza de España

    This Square was built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is located in the beautiful María Luisa park. It is an absolutely beautiful area with little ponds and small bridges. You can even...   more
  • 4. Santa Cruz District

    Walking the narrow and nicely kept streets of the Santa Cruz District I began to think I was in a small Spanish town. As a city planner I of course questioned who would have laid out such a street...   more
  • 5. Torre del Oro

    The Torre de Oro (Tower of Gold) was named that way because at one time it would hold gold and precious metals that came from the Americas. Honestly, I'm not sure how it could have held that much,...   more
  • 6. Giralda

    The Giralda was once the minaret for the mosque in Seville. It is now the belltower for the Cathedral of Seville. You can climb the 34 ramps to the top. It's not a terribly difficult climb really,...   more
  • 7. Parque de María Luisa

    If there's one thing the Spanish know how to create it is beautiful parks, and the María Luisa park is no exception to this. Even though it is located next to a busy street, as soon as you enter it...   more
  • 8. Feria de Abril

    GASTRONOMY. During the Fair food plays an important role. Cold pork goods such as cured ham and sausages are served as well as seafood. In the afternoon each "caseta" usually serves stews sich as...   more
  • 9. Flamenco

    An enjoyable flamenco show. This is apparently one of the oldest venue's in Seville for flamenco. The show I saw had 5 female and 1 male performer, one of the ladies also sang. There were 3 male...   more
  • 10. Casa de Pilatos

    The Palace of the Dukes Medinaceli is called Casa de Pilatos because the Holy Week Procession started from here, ending in Cruz del Campo just like Jesus Christ had left the house of Pilate to go to...   more
  • 11. Bullfighting

    Bullfighting is controversial among Spaniards. Its supporters argue it is an art, its detractors see it as nothing more than glorified cruelty to animals. I came too late in the year to see a corrida...   more
  • 12. Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza

    From the outside the Plaza De Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballeria de Sevilla is decorative but not particularly impressive. From the Giralda tower on the other hand the size and magnificent of...   more

    The quarters of Seville are: el Arenal Santa Cruz la Macarena Parque Maria Luisa all on the left bank of the Guadalquivir with on the other riverbank Triana. Since Roman times ceramics have come...   more
  • 14. Fábrica Real de Tabaccos

    I specially like the University building because I studied Law in such a beautiful place. I lived very good moments here because I did excellent friends and I met my girlfriend. The University of...   more
  • 15. View from La Giralda

    To get to the top of the tower there are no stairs, instead a series of 35 ramps. These were built wide enough to allow two guards on horseback to pass. From the top you are rewarded with close up...   more
  • 16. Basilica de la Virgen de la Esperanza Macarena

    If you walk along the Calle Feria and turn right into the Calle Resolana you come to the Basilica de la Macarena. From the former JUDERIA (now Santa Cruz district) where my hotel was it was quite a...   more
  • 17. Riverside

    It is really nice to sit by the river and maybe read something, have a snack, or simply enjoy the view. You can walk along the beautiful river (which looks sort of green here in Seville, and more...   more
  • 18. Archivo de Indias

    Its a Renaissance 16th century building. Until then, market traders would set up their stalls on the Cathedral terrace so a covered market was needed in Seville. This fact was communicated to the...   more
  • 19. Plaza Virgen de los Reyes

    Located on Plaza Virgen de los Reyes, across from la Catedral, el Palacio Arzobispal is the Archbishop's palace. It was built between the 16th and 18th centuries in a richly decorated Baroque style....   more
  • 20. Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares

    In a grand building in Maria Luisa Park this museum has a varied exhibition. Less an arts museum than a traditions museum, it has a great collection of home decoration- lace, pottery, metalwork,...   more
  • 21. Hospital de la Caridad

    This building was one of the first we came across as we walked from our hotel to the old quarter - it was just a taster of things to come in Seville that we enjoyed so much. Built in the 17th century...   more

    Another awesome bridge is Puente del Alamillo, built in 1992 by Santiago Calatrava, a Valencian engineer and architect. I recommend you to see the works of this man, because they are amazing; you will...   more
