A fresh and unforgettable summer in Seville

Welcome to Seville, the capital city of Andalucia with its scent of orange blossom and typical Andalusian flavour !

Here is the top guide to spend a local and unforgettable summer in Seville!

  • A CITY MADE OF WORLD HERITAGE SITES

Obligatory step at The Cathedral of Saint Mary ! Seville is home to the world’s largest Gothic building and you cannot miss it! Visit the cathedral will take you at least 3 hours, the time you will need to climb to the Giralda and enjoy the peaceful orange tree courtyard of the cathedral.

Don’t miss the Giralda tower! Icon of Seville, this is is the bell tower of Seville cathedral and is the result of many centuries of Seville’s history. It was originally built as a minaret for the mosque. You can climb the tower and enjoy an incredible view on the vibrant city. This incredible sight is visible from the terrace of our palace.

Then make a stop at the Real Alcazar palace complex, a historical treasure that will leave you speechless. This palace is one of the world’s most stunning pieces of architecture and design and a must-see in southern Spain! Take your time to look at the scale, the detail and the colors of the oldest royal palace still in use today in Europe!

End your day walking through the best viewed from the other side of the river at sunset, to admire the charm of the Tower of Gold. A 1220 defensive watchtower that offer breathtaking views.
