Old Town
In downtown
A mediaeval maze. Old Town is a tangled labyrinth of snaking passageways that hum with local bars. Grab a “caña” (small beer) at El Salvador Square, then dive into Seville’s illustrious history. The colossal cathedral and indulgent Alcázar Palace speak of competing legacies, as successive dynasties vied to put their architectural stamp on the city.

Macarena
1.3 miles from downtown
Tip-top for tapas. This residential district is awash with excellent eateries. Start off with an up-market appetiser at Bar Yebra, then wander across to La Pastora, which is famed for its fried fish. Work off the calories with a wander to La Macarena Basilica, and join devout locals as they murmur Hail Marys to the weeping Macarena Virgin.

Nervión
1 miles from downtown
New-fangled Nervión. This area’s been in a state of constant renovation for years. Its wide avenues are lined with office blocks, where sharp-suited businesspeople stride in and out. The mood changes on match days. Sevilla FC’s famously ebullient supporters fill the Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium with deafening cheers and jeers. Footy fans can’t miss it.

Triana
0.6 miles from downtown
Olé! Triana fizzes with folklore. It’s here that flamenco music took off, and no trip to Seville is complete without a visit to Calle Betis’ authentic “tablaos” (flamenco bars). To dig into Triana’s chequered past, go to Castillo San Jorge. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition’s old HQ to have transformed into a museum about its dastardly deeds.

Los Remedios
0.9 miles from downtown
Roll up, roll up! Once a year, all eyes turn to Los Remedios, when Seville’s legendary April Fair rolls into town. Impatient locals have spent a whole year waiting for this moment. It’s a whirl of colour, as people meet, greet and eat in true Sevillano style. Dig out that frilly dress and dust down your castanets – it’s party time!

About Seville
Including tips for the best time to visit Seville
In Seville, the sunshine isn't the only constant: the city bursts with vibrant colors year-round. Ripe oranges dangle from green trees, golden sandstone buildings are decorated in blue and white tiles, and glasses of red wine are served alongside creamy slices of Manchego cheese.
This historic Spanish city is best explored on foot. Enjoy the laid-back vibes while lounging on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, or walk along the footpaths of María Luisa Park down to the Plaza de España. Located at the edge of the park, this beautiful square features a variety of architectural styles and four bridges that represent each of Spain’s ancient kingdoms. You can even rent a row boat to leisurely float down the moat running beneath them.
The Andalusian capital is also home to Spain’s largest cathedral. Right behind its striking Gothic exterior is the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The neighboring Alcázar of Seville is an iconic example of Mudéjar architecture, with its intricate mosaic-tiled interior, lush gardens, and beautiful fountains.
Seville has a vibrant nightlife, from its bustling tapas bars to nightly performances at the Flamenco Museum – a gorgeous 18th-century building built on the foundations of an old Roman temple.

September 23, 2023
It is a very vibrant city and the labyrinth of streets is incredible, there is noise from all the other tourists but also moments of peace and silence. The narrow little streets are cool in the heat, as shaded from the sun. There are also several beautiful green areas and you can take a cruise on the river. If flamenco is your thing (it def is mine) there is masses of flamenco. Best flamenco show for me was at the Tablao Azahar on 'Cruces' calle, small intimate and pure 'duende'. 20 euros a ticket, but look around as there are 'free' performances in the park. The heat was not too intense in september, but can imagine it to be very hot in June to August, but it is quite dry heat, so not unbearable. There is a reason though the locals take a siesta :) A tapa is enough for one person, but 'un plato' better if you are a couple. Solo travellers, it is a beautiful city but it's very traditional, and not as cosmopolitan as Madrid/Barca, overall I saw many couples and families, not many solo travellers. I wouldn't go in Semana Santa as imagine it getting too crowded. You are very close by train to Malaga/Cadiz/Cordoba.

Alrhough it’s quite large and busy it iscwell worth a trip to Sevilla! Amazing buildings and architecture. Though the river is really a canalised part of the river it made a nice change to walk it Also visited the museum of flamenco, well worth going to and to a short show of flamenco dance and music at this museum (museo) We did find however that it is a confusing place to navigate, with such a lot if medieval little roads and ways.
Beautiful little city.

I was here 25 years ago, and it's just as charming now as I recall from my early 20's. I really love the town, with all its windy streets, tapas bars, open squares, etc. It was a perfect stay. I'll be back.

September 21, 2023
Very good location with free parking downstairs in apartment building. Supermarket just 150 metres on same road, so very convenient. Lean apartment with great kitchen utensils and plates. The rooms were large and sitting area too. Beds were good and firm. Only issue was we can smell smoke from cigarettes in other apartments coming into our air-conditioning vents.
