Although it may not be the most famous city in Spain, Seville is considered by many to be the most beautiful. You get a sense of its unique charms as you meander through winding streets surrounded by characteristic white and pipeclay yellow walls of the painted buildings. Due to the hustle and bustle of port activity, 16th century Seville was the richest city in Spain. Goods of all splendor brought from the New World arrived at the feet of awestruck locals. Although the city doesn’t have a sea exit, the Guadalquivir river is so deep and wide that it is perfectly navigable.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Seville
How many days should I spend in Seville?
If you want to see a flamenco show, the most important sites and taste all the dishes that Seville is famous for, plan on a 2-night/3-day stay.
What are the must-sees in Seville?
The Cathedral of Seville and the Real Alcázar are unmissable points of interest. If you would like to get a glimpse into one of the grandest Christian holidays in Spain, plan a visit for the week before Easter, commonly referred to as the Holy Week. A more casual festival takes place after Holy Week in Seville. The Museum of Flamenco Dance and La Casa del Flamenco will introduce you to the tradition and intensity of this passionate dance.
Shopping
Shop luxury and classic fashion and accessories in the heart of Seville, on Calle Sierpes, Calle Tetuán, and Plaza Nueva. Ceramics, flamenco fashion, and other unique items manufactured by locals hide in the least touristy neighborhoods, like Triana, La Alfalfa. The must-visit shops are usually located near large commercial spaces such as markets. It is therefore worth walking around in Seville!
Is Seville safe?
Seville is a safe city. There is a little thread of pickpocketing in the touristy areas, but that's something you can prevent. Please make sure to fasten your bag on a stroll, do not leave it unattended, open, or hanged on the backrest of a chair. If you bear these bits of advice in mind, your holiday will be carefree.
What are the options for people with dietary restrictions and intolerances?
The Mediterranean diet is on the menu all around the country! Spanish cuisine uses a lot of rice and chickpeas that make the life of a gluten-intolerant easy-peasy. Milk is not a popular ingredient either, which is good news for lactose intolerants. Should you have any specific restrictions, feel free to turn to the waiter, who will helpfully assist you with the right choice of meal.
How do I get around Seville?
Seville has an extensive bus system, which is a preferred transportation method by locals. During your stay, you will benefit more from the Metrocentro, the surface version of the subway. You'll find more info on public transportation in Seville here.
How much should I expect to spend person per day in Seville?
You can expect to spend 35-40 EUR/person/day (40-45 USD) for food, beverages, transportation, and random leisure needs (spontaneous visit to a museum). If you plan to take excursions, the average cost may rise to 100-120 EUR/person/day (110-130 USD). Day trips usually include transportation, some food, and drink.
