About Seville

Seville is a sun-drenched Andalucian capital situated along the Guadalquivir river, renowned for its rich Moorish architecture, passionate flamenco, and tapas culture. Its historic center houses major landmarks like the Real Alcázar palace, the world's largest gothic cathedral, and the Giralda tower, bordering the narrow cobblestone lanes of Barrio Santa Cruz. Across the river, the district of Triana offers traditional ceramic workshops and an authentic local atmosphere. Known for its grand events like Holy Week and the April Fair, Seville reaches intense summer temperatures starting as early as May.

When to go

Seville is at its best in spring or autumn for tapas, courtyards and warm evenings.

March to April is ideal for festival-goers drawn to Semana Santa and the vibrant Feria de Abril, though hotels should be booked months in advance to navigate peak-season prices and crowds. Visitors looking to avoid heavy crowds and enjoy mild temperatures between 9°C and 20°C (47°F–68°F) can aim for February to March or October to November to comfortably explore spots like Parque María Luisa. High summer in July and August brings sweltering temperatures above 38°C (100°F), but it serves as low season for budget travelers who can secure luxury hotel rooms at less than half their peak rates. This off-peak summer period allows tourists to explore major sights like the Real Alcázar and Catedral de Sevilla in relative peace.
