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.
Places to stay from $21 a night
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!
Places to stay from $32 a night
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.

Seville had so many sites within walking distance, amazing restaurants. The city was clean and friendly to tourists. We recommend booking the key sites such as the cathedral and Álcazar in advance. We took a boat ride, rented bikes and went to many of the museums.
Seville is a great city for weekend break.

Seville is a great city for weekend break. The hotel was central so we could walk everywhere. Lots of restaurants to choose from. I would definitely recommend it. We will be going back, just to see a couple of things we missed.

Loved Sevilla.
April 23, 2024
Loved Sevilla. Great vibes and spoiled for choice for restaurants and tapas bars for all levels of budgets. Shopping areas had everything you could need, from designer labels to quirky and quaint stores and artisan food shops. Obviously all the tourist and historic sites are a must if a first time visitor, need time I would focus more on exploring other areas and enjoying more tapas bars. 3-5 nights stay would be enough to do most things, or a few more nights if you go about your way in a slower pace.

We do a lot of city breaks and this has to be one of our favourite places. Gorgeous weather (perfect in April, suspect summer would be too hot), so much to see, friendly people, a very laid back atmosphere, extremely safe, reasonably priced, and delicious food. We couldn't fault it. Our trip overlapped the beginning of the April Festival, which is a sight to behold: most of the city is out and about in national costume and it looks fantastic. The city is easy to navigate on foot, with hardly any really busy streets in the old town. We had tapas in about ten different places, and all was excellent. There are lots of flamenco shows you can book - but if you want a free taste before deciding if two hours of stamping feet is for you, then head to the Plaza Espana (a stunning place) where there is usually a free show outdoors. We also enjoyed a river cruise, where we were surprised to see terrapins in the water!
