Good to know
Best time to go
March to May and October and November are the most pleasant. July and August often reach around 40 °C – go out only in the morning and evening. During Holy Week and the spring fair the city is packed and hotels are expensive.
Getting around
The old town is compact and you can reach almost everything on foot. For longer distances there are buses, a tram and one metro line. Buy tickets at the machines or via the app. A bus runs from the airport into the centre.
Where to stay
Santa Cruz and the cathedral
In the heart of the old town, close to the Alcázar and the cathedral. Ideal for a short visit, but touristy.
Triana
Across the river, with a market, bars and fewer tourists. The bridge gets you into the centre quickly.

Seville: frequently asked questions
Are 3 days enough for Seville?
Yes, for the old town and a trip to Córdoba. With more time, add Cádiz, Ronda or the white villages.
Do I need to book Alcázar tickets in advance?
It makes sense. Online you book a time slot and skip the long queue on site.
Can you visit Seville in summer?
Yes, but it gets very hot. Plan sightseeing for the morning, rest at midday and go out again in the evening, like the locals.
Where can I see flamenco?
Triana and the centre have many flamenco shows, from small bars to dedicated stages. Read reviews and book ahead.
