Visit Seville, Spain
Traveling to Seville? I got you! Everything to eat, do, and see in Seville, Spain. I spent forever researching Seville, Spain, and unfortunately, I ended up getting norovirus. So, that was shitty (litterally). However, I still have tons to share with you. And my mom, who didn’t get sick, still had a fab time. Yay for her!

What to do in Seville, Spain
- Royal Alcázar of Seville – This is a must-do. One of the coolest palaces I’ve ever been to. Make sure to reserve tickets ahead of time! The gardens are HUGE so plan accordingly.
- Catedral de Sevilla – also a must-see and get tickets ahead of time! The tomb of Christopher Columbus (boooo) rests here. Largest Gothic cathedral in the world!
- Plaza de España – absolutely a must-do. Obsessed with this plaza. And it’s free! We couldn’t do the paddle boats because it was closed for a Justin Timberlake concert lol.
- Parque de María Luisa – this park is right next to the Plaza de España, great for a nice stroll
- Casa de Pilatos – another plaza. I really liked this one too. Less busy and we didn’t need tickets ahead of time.
- Torre del Oro – old ass tower
- Triana Bridge – cute bridge
- Triana area – cute area to explore
- Mercado de la Encarnación – I guess this could go in the food category but it’s also somewhere you can stroll and look around
- Flamenco Show – We went to this one, but there are so many, I’m sure you can’t go wrong. My advice is to NOT get the food ticket. It was barely anything and not worth the money!
- Flamenco Dance Museum – Learn all about flamenco dance
- Setas de Sevilla – We didn’t go to the top because it was 1 million degrees out, and I had no desire to be closer to the sun. Still really, really cool to see. Also, we didn’t see it at night because I was sick and needed to go to bed but do it if you don’t have norovirus and can stay up!
- Casa de la Ciencia – Science Museum
- Seville Museum of Fine Arts – Art Museum
Where to Stay in Seville, Spain
After a lot of research, my mother and I had a few non-negotiables for what we wanted. We for sure wanted to stay in the Santa Cruz area, and we wanted an Airbnb because we wanted two bedrooms, AC, a pool and a washer and dryer. Thank GOD we did, since I was getting sick all night long! We stayed at this Airbnb. I highly recommend. The rooftop pool was great as well!
Here are some of the other options we saved and liked:
- Charming duplex in the Santa Cruz neighborhood
- Shepherd y Landero 17. 2-bedrooms, Arenal area
- Private pool in a stylish house
- Murall Wall SevillaLoft
Hotels: I really looked for places with AC, laundry service, and 2 beds.
Overall, I lovedddd Seville. Even though I was on my deathbed for most of it. One thing I loved is how small the city was. We could get anywhere in about 15 minutes. Most of the attractions and restaurants I wanted to go to were within 5 minutes of our Airbnb. I do feel like I need to go back and fully experience Seville, but overall, I still managed to see and do quite a lot! Another plus is even though it was hot while we were there, in the small allyways (which are everywhere) it was quite cool.
