This is considered Seville’s top attraction and an absolute must-see during a trip to the Spanish city. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is a magnificent Mudéjar-style royal palace, bursting with breathtaking courtyards, fountains, and intricate tilework. It’s really recommended to book in advance to avoid long queues.
Seville Cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world with incredible architectural designs to admire. It is also the resting place of one of the greatest explorers of all time, Christoper Columbus. Whilst there, it is very much worth climbing La Giralda bell tower for spectacular sweeping views of the city.
In the heart of the city centre is the splendid semi-circular plaza ornate with tiled alcoves and eye-catching bridges. There is also a charming canal in the plaza where you can rent out rowboats and enjoy the city on water.
The historic Jewish Quarter is great for exploring on foot and you wind down the maze of narrow streets lined with white-washed houses and flowered balconies. It is also filled with cosy tapas bars where you can enjoy a drink and light snack during your explorations.
Seville is one of the Spanish cities in which flamenco dancing originated from and it is still the beating heart of the traditional dance. The Triana neighbourhood is renowned for hosting authentic flamenco shows in intimate venues, an absolute must-do activity during a visit to Seville.
One of the major pillars of Sevillian life is tapas. So, another must-do activity is joining a guided food tour and tasting traditional local dishes. It also gives you the chance to explore iconic neighbourhoods like Santa Cruz.
Join one of the city’s several cooking classes for a real taste of Seville. This is a great one if you’re a food lover and thrive at the chance of delving into global cuisines. You’ll get the chance to prepare and sample Andalusian dishes whilst exploring Seville after dark through its epic culinary scene.
