Practical guide
Know before you go
Short, straight answers to the questions every Seville visitor asks before booking.
The sweet-spot months
Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) bring warm, pleasant weather — the best times to visit.
Spring (Mar–May)
Ideal weather and orange blossom, plus the famous Semana Santa and April Feria — beautiful but busy, so book ahead.
Summer (Jun–Aug)
Extremely hot, often above 40°C; sightsee early, rest at midday and enjoy the river and shaded gardens.
Autumn (Oct–Nov)
Warm, golden and quieter than spring — a lovely, comfortable time to explore.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
Mild and sunny with the lowest crowds and prices — pleasant for sightseeing, though evenings are cool.
Semana Santa & Feria
Holy Week processions and the April Feria fill Seville with colour and crowds — spectacular but book well ahead.
One day
Enough for the Royal Alcázar, the Cathedral and Giralda, Santa Cruz and the Plaza de España.
Two days
Add a Córdoba day trip, a flamenco show and a river cruise.
Three days
The sweet spot: the city, Córdoba, and Ronda with the white villages or Granada.
Four to five days
Add more of Andalusia — Granada, Cádiz, Jerez or the white villages.
A week or more
Use Seville as a base for a full Andalusian tour, from Córdoba to the coast.
Travelling with kids
Mix the Alcázar gardens, the Plaza de España and a river cruise at a heat-friendly pace.
On foot
The historic centre is compact and best explored on foot, wandering the lanes of Santa Cruz and the riverside.
Tuk-tuks & carriages
Eco tuk-tuks and horse-drawn carriages offer a fun, restful way to tour the sights, especially in the heat.
Tram & metro
A central tram line and one metro line link key points, handy for longer hops across the city.
Bikes
Seville is flat and bike-friendly, with cycle lanes and a public bike scheme along the river.
Day-trip transport
High-speed trains reach Córdoba and Granada; tours bundle transport for Ronda and the white villages.
From the airport
Seville Airport links to the centre by the EA airport bus or a fixed-fare taxi in about 20 minutes.
Book monuments ahead
The Royal Alcázar and Cathedral limit numbers and sell out — book skip-the-line tickets in advance, especially in spring.
Free Alcázar slots
The Alcázar offers limited free entry late on certain days, but slots are scarce — paid skip-the-line is more reliable.
Currency & tipping
Spain uses the euro; cards are widely accepted, and tipping is modest and optional.
Beat the heat
In summer, sightsee early and late, rest at midday like the locals, and carry water and a hat.
Eat late & local
Sevillanos eat late — tapas from 9 pm; head to Triana and the Alameda for authentic bars away from the crowds.
Dress for churches
Cover shoulders and knees to enter the Cathedral and churches, and dress respectfully during Semana Santa.
Alcázar & Cathedral
Skip-the-line tickets sell out, especially in spring — book ahead.
Flamenco shows
The best tablaos are small and sell out nightly — reserve for good seats.
Granada day trips
Alhambra tickets sell out weeks ahead, so book a guided day trip early.
Tapas tours
Small-group tapas tours fill up in high season — book a few days ahead.
Semana Santa & Feria
Around Holy Week and the April Feria, hotels and tours sell out months ahead — plan early.
Córdoba & Ronda trips
Popular day trips fill up in spring and autumn — reserve ahead.
Alcázar & Cathedral
Around €20–45 for skip-the-line entry or a guided tour of each monument.
Flamenco shows
Roughly €20–45 for a show, more with tapas or dinner.
Tapas tours
About €55–90 for a guided tapas and sherry crawl with tastings.
Córdoba day trips
Around €45–80 by train, more with a guide and Mezquita entry.
Granada day trips
Roughly €75–130 for a full day with Alhambra tickets and transport.
How to save
Walk the free old town and Plaza de España, enjoy cheap tapas, and join group tours.
