Do a Seville walking tour it is a pleasant and economical way to enjoy all the main attractions of the city. You can do this on your own or with an organized tour.
There are many tourist agencies that organize walking tours of Seville with the accompaniment of a guide. Some of these tours are just free. Of course, a tip at the end of the course will be much appreciated. Here what to see in half a day during a walking tour of the wonderful city of Andalusia.
Seville walking tour, the main stops
Whatever season you choose to visit Seville, you will be enchanted by the harmony and elegance that every detail of this city manages to convey.
- orange trees that adorn the sidewalks of the center, the balconies full of flowers and that mixture of cultures so visible in the architecture of the city. Everything contributes to the magnetic charm of Seville.
To start the discovery of Seville on foot, I recommend starting from Placa de la Virgen, an important square in the historic heart of the city.
The Cathedral and the Giralda Tower
From here you can admire the Cathedral with the famous Giralda tower, which together with the Duomo became a Unesco heritage site.
The Alcazar
A few steps from you you will reach one of the wonders of the city: the Alcazar. I recommend that you take at least an hour to visit it.
The Alcazar is a royal palace, originally a Moorish fort, as evidenced by its Arab-style interior. The gardens are also a dream. The entrance ticket costs 9 euros.
The Barrio of Santa Cruz
From the historic center of Seville, proceed towards the Barrio de Santa Cruz, a picturesque Andalusian-style neighborhood, also known as the Jewish quarter of Seville.
Placa de Espana
Getting around Seville on foot is very easy. In fact, in a few minutes you will also reach one of the most beautiful squares in the world in my opinion: Placa de Espana.
Built for the 1929 Expo, it will open up in front of you with its vastness and the colors of its azulejos.
The boulevards along the Guadalquivir river
Then take a stroll along the boulevards that line the Guadalquivir River, which divides Seville into two parts.
Especially on sunny days, there is a truly relaxing atmosphere.
Flamenco show
Finally, you will not be able to end a short visit to Seville without having attended a flamenco show, a typical dance of the gypsies of Andalusia.
You can find them in all districts of the city. Sit down for a drink or dinner and watch the show of professional dancers in their beautiful costumes.
