Best to go outside the summer season as 40°c heat does not sit well with touring around. The Moorish influence is still very strong in this city of beautiful churches, its awesome cathedral, quaint squares, white painted houses, charming alleys and side streets, with the more modern areas of town down on the opposite side of the river, including the world expo site. Semana Santa (holy week) is a very special time, as is the Ferias de Abril (April fair) when the locals dress up in their regional costumes, sometimes ride around on horses and dance a local form of flamenco called Sevillanas. It’s a really nice time to be there.close

One must see the Cathedral and don\'t forget to go up the tower and the real alcazares is beautiful, but doesn\'t compare to the Alhambra in Granada. The one thing I really love about Sevilla is all the Spanish architecture and the bright colors splashed around the city such as sienna,...more One must see the Cathedral and don\'t forget to go up the tower and the real alcazares is beautiful, but doesn\'t compare to the Alhambra in Granada. The one thing I really love about Sevilla is all the Spanish architecture and the bright colors splashed around the city such as sienna, burnt orange, yellow ochre. close

It is a great city and if you love flamenco this is the place to be. If you are planning to go in April, book in advance, because of the Feria de Abri, a week of party, drinking and a lot of casetas. l don't like Corridas de Toros or bullfighting so I didn't go to see any, but it is a big...more It is a great city and if you love flamenco this is the place to be. If you are planning to go in April, book in advance, because of the Feria de Abri, a week of party, drinking and a lot of casetas. l don't like Corridas de Toros or bullfighting so I didn't go to see any, but it is a big tradition over there. The weather during the summer is very hot so avoid to do anything between 1 and 4 o'clock. Some shops are closed at those hours. Better get a little snap or siesta as they call it. There are a lot to see. Pescaito frito is very famous (fried fish), you can drink so "fino" a type of wine. Watch for the pickpockers.close

It is the largest town in Southern Spain, Sevilla is universally famous for being a joyous town. While the Sevillians are known for their wit and sparkle, the city itself is striking for its vitality. Seville is a city steeped in history; it is one of the largest historical centres in Europe. La Giralda, the cathedral is one of the largest in Christendom. Seville boasts many cathedral, parks, churches and tapas bars! Has many beautiful parks and green spaces. I particualrly loved strolling along the guadalquiver river and we got a real feel for the city. Plus it was a way from the hussle and bussle of the carsclose

Beautiful city with many cultural sites.

Too bad sometimes it's kind of repetitive and you get the feeling you've seen everything more than 5 times the same day in different locations (dunno if it's clear enough). It's very small and nightlife is not very cool for people who don't really know where the good clubs and bars are. Spanish people are great, very warm in Sevilla, and very helpful when asking for directions. And, the best thing is, Sevilla is so cheap!! Everything is very cheap, even if you're eating in the most exclusive zone or buying in the Calle Sierpes. I could get around with 10 euros a day and eat and drink a lot.close

If you dont have lots of maney, get a good hostel with a kitchen that also allows you to drink before you go out, eating and drinking outside can get expensive, like most of Europe. However, if you like to walk around and just take pictures, for my taste, only Paris has it beat, aldo I have still...more If you dont have lots of maney, get a good hostel with a kitchen that also allows you to drink before you go out, eating and drinking outside can get expensive, like most of Europe.
