Things to Do in Seville
Plan your days in Seville, your way
Seville gives you a little of everything without asking you to choose.
Start with the big one: the Alcázar's tiled courtyards and gardens, worth every minute.
Then get lost on purpose in Santa Cruz, where whitewashed lanes open onto tiny plazas with fountains.
Lunch is tapas at a neighborhood bar: salmorejo, croquetas, and a cold caña for a few euros.
Afternoon means the Plaza de España and a slow wander through María Luisa Park beside it.
Cross the bridge into Triana for a different mood: ceramic shops, market stalls, and river views.
Golden hour from the Triana side, looking back at the Torre del Oro, is the view you will remember.
Evening brings flamenco in an intimate venue and dinner that starts late, because that is how it works here.
If energy remains, the Alameda square hums with locals until late.
One city, all its best flavors, no extremes required.
