The world’s largest Gothic cathedral, built on the site of the former mosque. The Giralda was its minaret, and you climb it via ramps rather than steps because it was designed to be ascended on horseback.
A collection of palaces from different periods, including the Patio de las Doncellas and the gardens. It has limited capacity and a timed-entry system, just like the Alhambra.
The old Jewish quarter, with narrow alleyways, whitewashed courtyards and small squares. It is next to the Cathedral and can be explored on foot without needing a ticket.
Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition, with its canal, bridges and tiled benches dedicated to each province. It is situated a little further from the city centre, in María Luisa Park.
On your own: about five hours of free time in the city.
With the Cathedral and the Giralda: It takes an hour to visit the monument, including the climb up the tower.
With the Real Alcázar: an hour and a half in the palace complex and its gardens.
In both versions with an input, as the entry time is allocated by the monument, the schedule for the day may vary.
Here at Visitanddo.com, we’ve put together a list of 10 must-see places you simply can’t miss in Seville:
It is the longest of the Andalusian provincial capitals: a three-hour journey each way, with a stop for breakfast on the way there. The whole day takes between twelve and fourteen hours, and in winter it is already dark by the time you get back.
Three. On your own, with about five hours of free time in the city. You could visit the Cathedral and the Giralda, which takes an hour each. Or you could visit the Real Alcázar, which takes an hour and a half. In both cases where an admission ticket is required, the amount of free time depends on the time slot allocated by the monument.
Yes, the climb is included in the tour of the cathedral. There are no steps, just ramps, as it was designed for people on horseback, so it’s easier than it looks. From the top, you can see the whole historic centre.
The historic centre brings together the main attractions within walking distance: the Cathedral and the Giralda, the Real Alcázar, the Santa Cruz neighbourhood with its narrow streets, and the Plaza de España, which is a little further away but still within walking distance.
Yes. The Real Alcázar has limited capacity and tickets with a set time slot, just like the Alhambra. Whether the tour you choose includes a visit to the Real Alcázar depends on availability, so during the high season it’s best not to leave it until the last minute.
It is the longest journey in the timetable: three hours each way. With a stop for breakfast on the way there and another to stretch our legs on the way back.
We offer a pick-up service in Málaga city and on the Costa del Sol. Because of the distance, we set off early and return after dark in winter.
Three options, and the choice affects your free time. You’ll have about five hours to spend at your leisure in the city. If you visit the Cathedral and the Giralda, that’ll take an hour. If you visit the Real Alcázar as well, it’ll take an hour and a half.
In both cases where an admission fee applies, the visiting hours depend on the times allocated by the monument, so it may vary from day to day.
