Seville is built for a long weekend — compact enough to walk, theatrical enough to fill three days, and warm enough that life happens outdoors well into the night.
Lose a morning in the Real Alcazar's tiled courtyards and the cathedral's orange-tree patio, then escape the midday heat the local way, with a long lunch and a slow vermouth.
Evenings belong to the tapas crawl through Triana and the back streets of Santa Cruz, and to an intimate flamenco tablao where the floorboards do half the singing.
Go in spring or autumn; high summer turns the city into a furnace by noon and even the locals retreat indoors.
Good to know
- Visit in spring or autumn; high summer bakes the city by noon.
- Book the Real Alcazar online to skip the long queue.
