Seville is the capital of AndalucÃa in the southeren part of Spain!
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 cars |

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. |

I ended up here during the Feria de Sevilla - a big city festival and party. Pretty dotted dresses and men on horses, tents are set up for food and drink. Worth to see! The city is really nice. |

Seville is centre for cultural and the people are realy freindly althought they dont understand and spreak English. It just I was staying in carmona(29 km outside seville) and to get to the airport I have to get to seville althought the bus was passing the airport but it didnt stop. From seville I took taxi to airport and it costed Euros 25 for that distance! But still I missed the plane. |

Seville is a nice warm-weather destination in Southern Spain, decently clean and easy to navigate on foot. However, we came for the processions, and found ourself stuck dead in the middle of such a mass of people that the actual festivities could hardly be enjoyed - and this only on Monday! We had plans to return on Thursday for more of the activities, but decided it just wasn´t worth it. On a kinder note, the Plaza de España was kind to sunbathers and quite magnificent, and the city had quite a few lovely parks. Prices were average for food and most everything else, but hostels were outrageous. |

I'm a little biased on the eating out part. I got foodpoisoning SOMEWHERE in sevilla but unfortunately I'm not sure which restaurant. Other than that the city was great. |

You can walk everywhere, make sure you go to the cathedral and climb the tower. Also see the palace/alcazar the gardens are beautiful - even the flamenco show we went to wasn't cheesy! it is just beautiful |

I loved my stay in Sevilla! The weather was beautiful and sunny (I came in mid-March). There are lots of neat places to see, the Cathedral and the Plaza de Espana were favorites. There are orange trees and palm trees everywhere! The night like was fun too; be sure to snag some tapas (like apetizers) if you get a chance! |

I love seville. I think everyone should go. |

I loved Sevilla, with the sunshine and the orange blossoms. Be sure to visit the alcázar, which is the most gorgeous place with the gardens and buildings. Some people like it more than the Alhambra. |
|
|
|
We enjoyed walking around the city but unfortunately we didn't manage to watch the bullfight because it's just too expensive(21euro p/person). |
|
|
|
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 not gotten to Barcelon ;) .... have fun in Sevilla. |

Seville is a wonderful huge place, loads to do by the riverseide. was a bit miffed by the 'regulars only' excuse down calle Betis, the lack of dancing places, impossible to watch Scottish football and difficulty in getting alcohol; to take home. But great weather, beautiful women, loads of bars and eateries and stunning buildings. the park is nice too. |

The cathedral of Seville is amazing |

Seville is a really exciting town. There's always stuff going on and new things to explore. The food is really good and never too pricey. What's more, everything you'll want to see is quite easily accessible on foot. It can be a bit tough to get where you're going though, as the streets wind a lot. |

There isn't much to do in Seville, but it's a charming city and a good starting point for the rest of Southern Spain. The tapas were amazing, don't leave Sevilla without having several of them. |
|
|
|
Everybody must go to the "Carboneria" bar where you can see free flamenco show and eat cheap tapas. |

A very expensive hostel without breakfast ( Breakfast is not a plastic glass of corn flakes with milk in a small room full of junk). The worst part is they advertise as the whole package. Not all staff members are nice. In the morning they have a man who rejected to check it two girls because it was too early in the morning. He doesn't speak english. However, the location of the hostel couldn't be better. Rooms and bathrooms are clean. Hydroject shower is excellent.
Es un hostel muy costoso para el servicio que ofrecen. No tienen desayuno. Un vaso platico lleno de corn flakes con leche no es desayuno. No todos los que trabajan alli son personas agradables. Un senor que tienen en la manana se nego a dejar a entrar dos muchachas a pesar de que ellas aseguraban haber notificado que llegaban temprano. La cosas buenas del Hostel: la ubicacion es excelente, los cuartos y banos son limpios. |

Sevilla is a really nice city with lots of interesting buildings, bridges, churches, statues and parks! |

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. |

From the moment i got off the bus, Sevilla became my favorite city in Spain. This is after visiting Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga and Algeciras. Sevilla is full of history, culture and fun. The people there were so welcoming and nice. I'm planning on taking another trip to Spain and restricting my travel solely to Sevilla! If you're going to Spain you can NOT miss Sevilla!!!! |

Loved Sevilla! One of the best cities of Spain. So many interesting things to see, good food, friendly and welcoming people...truly spanish. |

This is one beautiful city. 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. |

This is a very attractive city for me. I've been there 4 times, always for 1 or 2 days only, so with just a little time to discover the city. The Cathedral, the Reale
Alcazare, the Giralda, the Guadalquivir, everything is so charmig! Nightlife and food are very good too. |
|
|
 |
Such a nice and warm city...i been here three times (one of them in Expo'92) and is beautiful... You can still feel the moorish influence... and when you go for a walk in the little streets seems like you are in another times...very nice, i love it! |

Weather was great, walked everywhere but it got tiring after a while but the airport was really easy to get to and from. |
|
|
|
amazing city!!! because of its beauty, I stayed in Seville for another 2 days, and didn\'t want to leave. But it is too dry, I have problem with my feet skin. |

Seville is great, we missed out on shopping due to it being a Sunday, but there was pleanty of Sangria and Tapas to go around!
|
|
|
|
The main thing that bothered me about Sevilla was that the tapas in the first place i went to cost €7 and you don´t get anything free with your drink. It´s a really nice place to walk around but doesn´t have a whole lot of atmosphere! |
|
|
|
Seville is for me the nicest city in Spain...the most \"spanish\" af all. |
|
|
|
Seville\'s a really nice place, even in November it\'s still warm. It\'s easy to get round and there is no booze culture like in Britain. I want to go back in June when it\'s a lot warmer |
|
|
|
Oasis backpacker hostel is amazing. The food of Sevilla is cool and delicious. Rent bikes when you are there and ride around the whole city. |
|
|
|
great city 4 gays, lots to do around la alameda de hercules and paseo de colon. |
|
|
|
many restaurants cheap in center (Santa Cruz) |
|

I had such a good time in Seville. It is the kind of place where everyone can sit back and relax. |
|
|
|
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. |

|
Fantastic Archetecture, wonderful to walk down Orange tree lined avenues. |
|
|
|
Seville is great! The atmosphere is so relaxed, and the people are really friendly and helpful despite the language barrier. There is so much to see and do around Seville! My favourite is the Real Alcazar, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Seville! Just make sure you give yourself enough time, because it\'s huge! |

Seville is a very special city. It has many beautiful attractions within a small vicinity so it's easy by foot. It's a marvel to stroll down the major streets in awe at the landmarks and beautiful sevillana women! The nightlife is pretty good and there are many bars who offer spirits like it should be. Free Pouring..... A nice place to relax and wander. |
