Real Alcázar of Seville

Patio de Banderas, 41004 Sevilla

Originally a fortified palace from the Almohad period, the Alcázar was expanded by Christian monarchs into a sumptuous palace combining Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements; its gardens and patios evolved over centuries and it remains an official royal residence.

Seville Cathedral and La Giralda

Avenida de la Constitución, s/n, 41004 Sevilla

Built on the site of a former mosque, the cathedral became one of the largest Gothic churches in the world; the Giralda tower began as the mosque’s minaret and was later crowned with a Renaissance bell tower, forming an emblematic skyline feature.

Plaza de España (Parque de María Luisa)

Parque de María Luisa, 41013 Sevilla (Plaza de España)

Constructed for the 1929 Ibero‑American Exposition, the semicircular plaza blends Regionalist, Renaissance and Neo‑Mudéjar styles and is decorated with tiled benches representing Spain’s provinces; it sits within the historic María Luisa Park.

Metropol Parasol (Setas de Sevilla)

Plaza de la Encarnación, s/n, 41003 Sevilla

A contemporary wooden structure completed in the 21st century that shelters a market, archaeological displays and a panoramic walkway — nicknamed the 'mushrooms' (Setas) and notable for its dramatic modern contrast to Seville’s historic fabric.

Triana neighbourhood

West bank of the Guadalquivir; central area around Calle Betis and Plaza del Altozano (Triana)

Historically a separate arrabal known for pottery, tile‑making, sailors and flamenco, Triana retains strong local identity, craft traditions and lively tapas and nightlife along the riverfront.

Visit the Real Alcázar of Seville

Explore the palace complex of royal rooms, lush Mudéjar gardens and richly decorated patios that evolved from a medieval Muslim fortress into a Christian royal palace.

Masterpiece of Mudéjar and later styles, atmospheric gardens for photos and relaxation, and a living monument still used by Spain’s royal household.

Climb La Giralda and tour Seville Cathedral

Enter one of the world’s largest Gothic cathedrals and ascend the Giralda tower (a converted Almohad minaret) for panoramic city views.

Outstanding architecture, religious and artistic treasures (including Columbus’s tomb), and unbeatable skyline views from the tower ramps.

Wander Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa

Stroll the semicircular, tile‑decorated Plaza de España set inside the leafy María Luisa Park, with its bridges, tiled alcoves and slow canal boats.

Iconic 20th‑century landmark with spectacular ceramics, relaxed park atmosphere, and excellent photo opportunities, especially at golden hour.

Watch an intimate flamenco show in a tablao or cultural centre

Experience authentic flamenco — singing, guitar and dance — in a small venue that emphasizes emotion and tradition.

Flamenco is a living Sevillian art form; small shows deliver intense, memorable performances that connect you to local culture.

Cross to Triana and sample tapas along the river

Explore Triana’s ceramic shops, lively markets and riverside bars; taste traditional tapas and watch local nightlife unfold.

Triana feels like the city’s cultural heart for pottery and flamenco, with a distinct local vibe and excellent food stalls and bars.
