About Seville

Seville is the capital of Andalusia, where the Moorish influence left a architectural legacy, most notably the Alcazar and the Giralda. This city of flamenco and orange trees thrives on culture, with performances around every corner, particularly in the neighborhoods of Triana and Santa Cruz. Visitors often come for the Plaza España, a semi-circular brick structure that showcases the regional tiles of Spain, which has become a popular spot for photos and leisurely walks. Beyond the historic center, the Seville Bullring and the Metropol Parasol offer a mix of tradition and modernity, while the warmth of the sun is a constant reminder that you're in southern Spain. The city's rhythm is palpable, especially during the Spring Fair when the streets come alive with music and dance. It's a place where the past is inseparable from the present, as the heat and passion of flamenco fill the air.

Who it's for

Those who enjoy cultural experiences and nightlife will find plenty to love here. However, it's not ideal for travelers looking for quiet or solitude; the streets can be overwhelming, especially during peak tourist seasons. The summer heat can also deter those unaccustomed to high temperatures.

Getting around

Public transport: Good

  • The historic center is compact enough to walk across in about twenty minutes
  • Seville's metro system is efficient, making it easy to reach the outskirts and local attractions
  • The train to Córdoba takes about 45 minutes from Santa Justa station, perfect for a day trip
