Weekend in Seville
A weekend to fall in love with Seville
Seville is a bright, warm city full of history. In just two days, you can enjoy its most iconic monuments, its cheerful atmosphere and flavours that reflect the essence of the south. Walking through its streets is a journey through Mudejar architecture, orange-blossom-scented courtyards, lively squares and neighbourhoods steeped in tradition.
This guide offers a balanced itinerary to make the most of a weekend in the Andalusian capital.
➤ Day 1: The monumental heart of Seville
The first day is dedicated to the city's great symbols, all located in the historic centre and easily explored on foot.
- Seville Cathedral: the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. Its interior, organ and Columbus’ tomb are must-sees.
- Climb the Giralda: one of Spain’s most iconic viewpoints, with gentle ramps and unforgettable views.
- Royal Alcázar: a unique palace blending Islamic, Mudejar and Renaissance styles. Its gardens are perfect for switching off.
- Santa Cruz neighbourhood: narrow streets, flower-filled courtyards, hidden squares and a romantic atmosphere. Ideal for wandering without rushing.
In the afternoon, a stroll to the Plaza de España and María Luisa Park lets you enjoy one of Seville’s most photogenic spots, full of life and regionalist architecture.
➤ Day 2: Triana, art, gastronomy and viewpoints
The second day is designed to discover the local atmosphere and other cultural corners that make Seville such a special city.
