Seville Archives

If you’re looking for a perfect destination for your next Europe weekend trip, you should definitely visit Seville. Seville is hands down our favourite city in Spain. A visit to Seville has everything you would want from a Spanish city break – beautiful narrow streets to get lost in, stunning architecture, amazing hotels with rooftop swimming pools, endless amount of bars and restaurants filling out the stone cobbled streets.

Regarding the weather for the best months to visit Seville, luckily there is not too many choices of ‘bad times’ to go to Seville. When the rest of Europe has started to cool down in October, Seville is still hovering at a very pleasant mid-20s. Avoid August as this is too hot and actually considered ‘low season’ due to the unpleasant heat.

Here are Seville’s must-do’s

Visit Plaza de Espana

Absolutely stunning huge square, 15 minutes walk from the old town. The Plaza de Espana is usually the ‘profile photo’ of Seville, it is one of the most beautiful city squares in the world. When you visit Seville, spend hours here walking around, taking photos, and riding a gondola.

Alcazar of Seville

The alcazar of Seville is an incredible Moorish palace. You must go! Interesting fact: Games of Thrones used this palace for filming the Water Gardens of Dorne. A visit to this palace is a must when in Seville.

Pre-booking is not necessary which makes it a perfect stop on a leisurely walk meandering around the old town streets.
