Spain’s magnificent Seville is the capital of the romantic Andalusia region and, for many, the home of quintessential Spanish culture. Seville is a timeless, a classic city  lit up with authentic local cuisine, dancing, history, and so much more!

    Top Things to Do in Seville

    Our kick-ass, comprehensive guide will run you through some most highly rated and popular things to do in Seville. From interacting with the locals to visiting its monuments, there are so many top things to do here.

    1. Go Back In Time at Real Alcazar

    Real Alcazar
    The mighty Real Alcazar.

    Take yourself back in time as you visit the oldest functioning royal palace in Europe. Not only is it a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it’s also a frequently utilized film set location, with famous examples being Game of Thrones and Laurence of Arabia.

    The Alcazar Palace is one of Seville’s most well-preserved and overt examples of the city’s Arabic history. Originally an Abbadid Muslim fortress, it was reconstituted as a royal palace for the Christian king – Peter of Castile.

    A prime example of Mudejar architecture, the Alcazar is known as one of the most beautiful royal palaces across the whole of Europe. Note that lines to enter the Alcaza are long and slow moving. Exploring the complex will also take a good few hours. It is well worth buying your tickets in advance, paying to skip the queue and joining a guided tour for fascinating insights.

    2. Get Bar Hopping with Seville’s Many Tapas Bars

    Sevilles Many Tapas Bars
    Eating tapas was my highlight of Seville. In fact, it was the highlight of my life.

    Eating tapas in Seville is like eating pizza in Naples – its just something you need to do here! It’s so intrinsically local that the Spanish even created a verb for the act of eating tapas (tapear).

    To the locals, the best way to enjoy tapas is by bar hopping. The allure of eating tapas doesn’t come from the cuisine itself, even though it’s very tasty, but rather from the socialising it fosters!

    Tapas should be enjoyed in groups, with beverages in hand, shared amongst friends. Start at one of either Bodega Fabiola or La Fresquita and go from there. There are still some free tapas bars at Seville but most do now charge for dishes. Still, the prices are very reasonable. The waiters will write down your orders in chalk at your table/on the bar and bill you when you are ready to leave.

    FIRST TIME IN SEVILLE

    Santa Cruz

    Santa Cruz is one of Seville – and Andalusia’s – most iconic neighbourhoods. It is home to Seville’s most famous attractions, including the Real Alcazar, Seville Cathedral and the Plaza de Espana.

    Places to visit:
    • Climb to the top of Torre Giralda and take in the incredible views of the city
    • Wander through the narrow cobblestone streets and alleys
    • Learn the history of Flamenco at the Museo del Baile Flamenco

    For more Places to Stay, check out our full Seville Neighborhood Guide!

    3. Marvel at Seville’s Iconic Cathedral

    Sevilles Iconic Cathedral
    The mighty Gothic Seville Cathedral.

    The Catedral de Sevilla is truly a marvel of architectural engineering and design. It’s the largest cathedral in the world, as well as the largest gothic church in the world!

    “Gothic” in style, its ordained roof, and intricate carvings are easy on the eye. Not to mention the church is fully functional and perfect for those looking to witness a Spanish cathedral mass live. An awesome thing to do in Seville on a Sunday!

    The cathedral boasts arguably Seville’s most iconic attraction, the famous bell tower La Giralda. What has now become the symbol of the city, La Giralda will give you a 360-degree panorama of the city’s skyline. It is situated not far from the Alcazar so it is pretty easy to pay a visit after or before.

    4. Get Involved with Seville’s Soccer Craze

    Seville is somewhat soccer-mad and is home to 2 top teams, Real Betis & Sevilla FC! Every weekend, in season, and sometimes during the week, Sevilla FC puts on a show of highly competitive soccer at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. Betis play at Benito Villamarin. La Liga is one of the most competitive leagues in the world and taking in a match is truly one of the unmissable things to do in Seville.

    With the stadium filled to the rafters and rival fans taunting and rilling the crowd up, a night at the stadium is a given if you want to experience one of Seville’s biggest pride and joy!

    If possible, try to catch the politicised Andalusian derby. In this fiery match, Sevilla FC, traditionally said to represent the upper class, take on Real Betis, who traditionally represent the working class. You can be guaranteed that it’ll be a heated affair!

    5. Experience a Show at Museo del Baile Flamenco

    Experience a Show at Museo del Baile Flamenco
    Flamenco is passionate and intense and totally Spanish.

    One of the most traditional forms of art found in Seville is the Flamenco Dance. With its roots set in early Andalusian culture, this dance is intrinsically woven into the Sevillian culture.

    The Museum of the Flamenco Dance is the only museum in the world dedicated to the expression and practice of this traditional art form.

    You can learn about the history of the Flamenco dance here, as well as experience it for real. Every day, professional artists will perform the Flamenco in the courtyard, as a last activity at the museum. One of the most unique things to do in Seville!

    Of course, other than the museum you can catch a Flamenco show at numerous venues throughout the city. It is not to be missed.

    6. Learn about the History of the Spanish Empire

    Archivo de Indias

    The Archivo de Indias is another of Seville’s three UNESCO World Heritage sites. Housing valuable documents dating back to the Spanish empire in the Americas, this building is a historical goldmine.

    The building was a hub for all the merchant activities that went on during the peak of the Spanish occupancy across the Atlantic. It recorded almost all the activities of the Spanish Empire in America.

    The information scholars have learned through this record-keeping has been invaluable. And, the best part is that you can see it too! As you walk these halls, you’ll get to see firsthand just how far the Spanish Empire’s reach was.

    Small Pack Problems? 😉

    Unusual Things to Do in Seville

    For some of us, doing something not especially well-known is more important than following the crowd. Here are a few of our favorite non-touristy things to do in Seville!

    7. Get Lost in the Barrio de Santa Cruz

    Barrio de Santa Cruz

    A visit to the suburb of Santa Cruz is one of the more offbeat things to do in Seville. The old medieval Jewish quarter is now a labyrinth of houses, plazas, and relics.

    Wander its streets and navigate its maze-like apartments. The buildings were designed to shelter those living there from the harsh rays of the Spanish summer sun, and you can be guaranteed you’ll the shelter appreciate too around midday.

    With old relics adorning the streets, try to find hidden alcoves such as the iconic Plaza de Santa Cruz amongst the old buildings, while at the same time trying not to get lost!

    It’s a little historic adventure in the big city!

    8. Get Your Instagram Fix at the Plaza de España

    Plaza de Espana
    La Plaza de Espana.

    The Plaza de España is located in the center of Seville, at the Parque de María Luisa. After its completed construction in 1928, it became a representation of the city’s architectural history.

    Utilizing elements from the Baroque, Renaissance and Moorish eras, the plaza is dominated by a huge half-circle of intricately designed buildings and bridges. The famous Vicente Traver fountain can be found at its center.

    Each alcove that runs along the rim of the plaza represents a province of Spain, and is flanked by a pair of bookshelves as a kind of free “visitors library”. Each “library” holds books relevant to its respective province, as well as a few personal favorites. The complex is stunning, photogenic and the setting of many an Instagram shoot. Get here early in the day to avoid crowds.

    9. Get Hands-on with a Spanish Cooking Class

    Safety in Seville

    Seville is an incredibly safe city. Violent crime is low, especially against tourists.

    We would, however, recommend usual caution and wariness. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and scams are known to happen, and it’s just best to stay alert. The Cathedral is an especially frequent attraction for soothsayers and palm readers.

    The city does get very hot during the day so be sure to stay dehydrated.

    Check out our roundup of the best travel insurance.

    Travel with peace of mind. Travel WITH a security belt.
