What to see in Seville in 3 days
The best thing about having three full days to enjoy a city like Seville is that you can relax and plan to visit almost everything on foot. The Andalusian capital is home to majestic monuments and fantastic museums, but the best way to discover its greatness is on foot, exploring neighbourhoods such as Santa Cruz and Triana. The friendly locals, the tapas served at legendary establishments and the strolls by the Guadalquivir River are an elixir that will make you fall in love with Seville every day.
We have prepared an itinerary that includes all the basic landmarks as well as places only a local could recommend.
Plaza de España
Seville’s Plaza de España, the main building constructed for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, symbolises the embrace between Spain and its former colonies.
Cathedral and Giralda
Seville’s cathedral stands on the site of the former Great Mosque. The clearest evidence of this is its best-known icon: La Giralda, a twelfth-century minaret converted into a bell-tower.
The Santa Cruz neighbourhood
The winding streets of the Santa Cruz neighbourhood are home to churches that were once mosques and synagogues, balconies filled with flowers and unique spots for romantic strolls.
The Tower of Gold
Discover this defensive watchtower, dating from the time of the Almohads, which is famous for its golden reflection, as well as being the subject of a host of legends, and the present home of the Maritime Museum.
