How to avoid the worst tourist hotspots in the city of Seville?

It is absolutely impossible to visit Seville without running into the tourist masses.

Tourism is massive here. But you can avoid the worst places, such as the square by the cathedral and the surrounding streets.

And by securing skip-the-line tickets beforehand, so that you avoid the massive queues at the attractions.

The further away from the cathedral – the fewer tourists

If you e.g. move over to the other side of the river there are not so many tourists.

The gypsy district Triana has become well-known – also among tourists – but here there are many small cozy streets where you can move around undisturbed – and it is a very special experience.

Avoid the worst tourist spots in the city of Seville - and get a good experience in Seville despite the tourist crowds

The Triana neighbourhood – seen from the river boat

An overlooked attraction is the city wall that encircles the historic centre.

It is quite impressive and can be seen in many places – completely without tourists. Eg. right next to the Andalusian Parliament, where you will also find another of the overlooked sights; the church Basilica de la Macarena.

A good way of getting around to see it all is with a 1-hour Tuk-Tuk tour. See it here.

The best thing about Seville is that there are restaurants and cafes everywhere

And it’s cheap to eat here. Even if you get away from it all and out into the residential areas, there are still good restaurants and local food experiences to be found.

A really good way to see Seville is with a river tour

It is actually a tourist trip, but the view and the experience do not fail despite the tourists on board (tickets).

The tour departs from the Gold Tower, Torre del Oro, all the way up to the site of the world exhibition EXPO-92 and back again.

Moreover, Torre del Oro is one of the attractions that you can easily visit without the multitude of tourists (ticket at the entrance).

Torre de Oro – the Golden Tower

There are, however, some of the major tourist attractions that are worth visiting despite the many tourists.

The Cathedral is huge and very impressive – and definitely worth a visit. But there are approx. 100 meter queue outside – and it goes slowly.

If you want to enter the cathedral, make sure you have bought tickets in advance, e.g. the Seville Super Combi.

Real Alcazar de Sevilla

The absolute best sight in Seville is the old Moorish palace Real Alcazar, which is almost as impressive as La Alhambra in Granada.

There are many tourists here and tickets must be bought in advance (e.g. the Seville Super Combi), but it is big and the tourists spread out so you can move around unhindered. Amazingly beautiful gardens and incredible architecture.

Avoid the worst tourist spots in the city of Seville

Plaza de España

Another fine sight is the Plaza de España with tiled benches for each of the Spanish provinces.

There are lots of tourists here, but it is a large square, so you can easily experience it without being particularly disturbed. Do also visit the small park opposite – it’s cozy and peaceful here.

 

Avoid queues at Real Alcazar & the cathedral:

Why is the Triana district so popular?

It is a traditional gypsy district with narrow streets and fine houses. Very brightly colored.

Unfortunately, Triana has become so popular that there are lots of tourists and tourist restaurants on the strip.

If you move a little along the small streets, you escape the tourist crowds.

 

What is the most touristic part of Seville?

The area around Seville Cathedral and the Real Alcazar, it’s absolutely crazy!

There are also quite a lot of tourists at the Plaza de España and in the Triana district.

 

Is it expensive in Seville?

No, not at all! Not even in the tourist areas.

It is especially good and cheap to eat at the countless restaurants on every street corner.

You can easily have a tapa at every restaurant you pass – without it being particularly expensive.

 

Is there good public transport in Seville?

The metro is not particularly useful for visitors – it mainly connects with the suburbs.

The Santa Justa train station is not quite in the center either.

But there are plenty of buses. It can be a bit difficult to figure out the bus routes, but it is easy to take the bus.

 

So how do you get around Seville?

The most important sights are within walking distance.

Another good way to get around the city is by bicycle.

Rent bikes or take a guided bike tour at one of the local agencies.

 

Or by tuk-tuk. Book an open tuk-tuk tour here:

 

Can you avoid the worst tourist spots?

Yes, the tourists are mainly concentrated around Seville Cathedral and Real Alcazar.

So it’s just a matter of moving away from the main attractions – then there are plenty of local and unspoiled places with authentic experiences of Seville.

 

Is the square by the Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral overcrowded?

Yes, the square is the center of tourism in Seville.

The Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral are musts, but as soon as you’ve seen them it’s time to get away from the square; out to experience the real Seville.

 

Are there fewer tourists further away from Seville Cathedral?

Yes. Seville is a big city and most tourists stay around the square by the Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral.

As soon as you move away from the square, you enter the small streets without a lot of tourists.

 

Are there fewer tourists on the other side of the river?

Yes and no! It requires an explanation:

There are fewer tourists on the other side of the river, yes.

But the Triana district in particular has become very popular among tourists, so right by the restaurants and the nearest streets there are many tourists.

 

What is the Triana district of Seville known for?

Seville’s Triana district is the old gypsy quarter, so it’s generally a colorful district.

This can be seen both on the buildings and in the clothing of the locals.

And on the laundry hanging out.

 

Is the Triana district in Seville a good experience?

Yes, if you only get a little away from the restaurants and the river, where the tourists mainly come.

When you enter the small streets without tourists, you can get a really nice and authentic experience of Triana.

 

Are there any overlooked sights in Seville?

Yes, definitely. Experience e.g. the city wall around the old center and the Basilica de la Macarena.

The university area and the many parks are also great experiences.

Here is a list of alternative attractions – with links to further info and tickets:

1. Palacio de las Dueñas

2. Flamenco Dance Museum

3. Archivo de Indias

4. Museum of Illusions

5. Setas de Sevilla

6. Seville Bullring

7. Casa de Pilatos

8. Sevilla Art Museum

9. Monasterio San Isidro del Campo

10. Sevilla Equestrian: The Story of the Andalusian Horse

 

Are the Italica ruins outside Seville worth a visit?

Yes, if you are interested in Roman history.

It requires a guided tour to explain what the archaeologists have found out about the Roman settlement here.

This is also where parts of the Game of Thrones series are filmed.

Order ticket and guided tour here

 

Is Seville’s city wall worth visiting?

Yes, it is actually quite nice and well preserved.

Seville’s city wall can be seen in many places around the historic center.

And it can be seen completely without tourists!

 

Where can you find the city wall of Seville?

Seville’s city wall stretches almost all the way around the historic center.

You can see it along the inner ring road, i.a. at the Andalusian Parliament and Basilica de la Macarena.

 

Where in Seville is the Andalusian Parliament located?

The Andalusian Autonomous Parliament is located on Seville’s inner ring road – just north of the historic centre.

By the city wall and Basilica de la Macarena.

 

Does Andalusia have self-governance?

Yes, just like Spain’s other 13 regions, Andalusia has ‘autonomy’.

It is a form of self-government in which justice, security, foreign and defense policy is conducted centrally in Madrid, while the health sector, the school system, environmental management and other welfare tasks lie with the autonomous regions.

 

Is Seville the capital of Andalusia?

Yes, Seville is the capital of Andalusia.

This is where the Andalusian Parliament is located, as well as the seat of the Andalusian government and the Andalusian Supreme Court.

 

Where in Seville is the Andalusian government building?

The Andalusian government resides in the “Palacio de San Telmo”, which is a beautiful old palace located on the Gualdalquivir River, close to the Plaza de España and not far from the Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral.

It is not possible to enter the Palacio de San Telmo, but it is beautiful to see – e.g. from the river cruise.

 

Which political party is in power in Andalusia?

After almost 40 years of socialist rule, the conservative PP party won government power in 2019.

Since then, the party has obtained an absolute majority with over half of the seats in the Andalusian parliament and can therefore currently carry out all their projects without negotiating with the remaining parties.

 

What is special about Seville’s Basilica de la Macarena?

The Basilica de la Macarena is one of the oldest churches in Seville.

Until recently, one of the dictator Franco’s top generals, Quiepo de Llano, was buried inside the church. It therefore had special status.

In connection with the reconciliation process after the Franco regime, a law has been passed that prohibits the glorification of the Franco regime.

Therefore, the remains of Quiepo de Llano have now been removed from the church.

 

What is the best thing about Seville?

In my eyes, the best thing about Seville is the countless cheap restaurants everywhere.

You can easily take a tapas tour with a stop at every restaurant you pass without going broke.

The biggest attraction in Seville is definitely the Real Alcazar. It is a great experience.

 

Is it cheap to eat out in Seville?

Yes, it’s super-cheap. There is great competition between the thousands of restaurants in the city centre.

Of course, there are also expensive restaurants, but those are primarily special gourmet restaurants that the locals get recommend.

Even the tourist restaurants have quite reasonable prices.

 

Where to get the best tapas in Seville?

Everywhere! All restaurants have tapas of one kind or another. And of different quality.

Don’t choose one restaurant to eat tapas at, but instead go on a tapas tour from one restaurant to another – and order a few dishes to share at each place.

Note that tapas are rarely specified on the menu card.

A tapa was originally a small thing that could be placed on the lid over a beer or a glass of wine.

Now sometimes you can order small dishes like a ‘tapa’ in some places, but this is not so widespread anymore.

Tapas (in the plural) is about ordering several dishes to put on the table so that everyone can reach.

Recommendation: Order 2 or 3 dishes for the middle of the table at each restaurant – and then take a trip through the whole city!

 

Are there also restaurants out in the residential areas?

Yes, lots! Naturally a little more scattered, but they are there.

For the Spanish – and not least the locals in Seville – being able to get to a bar or restaurant within 5 minutes is considered a human right.

Seville is probably the city in the world with the most restaurants and bars per capita.

 

Which specialties do you get at the restaurants in Seville?

In Seville you get all the Andalusian and Spanish dishes.

Of course, there are also restaurants with other cousines, but they are in minority.

In particular, there is a lot of fish here. Try e.g. ´pescaito frito´ – different kinds of deep-fried fish.

Also popular are the Spanish omelette (‘tortilla de patatas’), the Russian salad (‘ensaladilla rusa’), deep-fried prawns with chilli (‘gambas pil-pil’), the cold vegetable soup (‘gazpacho’) and of course the various ‘paella’.

 

What is the best way to see Seville?

Walking is good, but it can also quickly become too much.

Another popular way to get around Seville is by bike

Rent bikes or take a guided bike tour at one of the local agencies.

Alternatively with an open tuk-tuk. Book an open tuk-tuk tour here

 

Where does the river in Seville lead?

The Guadalquivir River flows into the Atlantic Ocean at the Doñana National Park – not far from Seville.

It originates in i.a. Carzola National Park in the Jaen Province.

The river flows through the provinces of Jaen, Cordoba and Seville before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean on the border between the provinces of Huelva and Cadiz.

 

Are the river cruises actually tourist traps?

The riverboats sail primarily with tourists. But I wouldn’t call them tourist traps.

Good enough, there are tourists on board, but you can easily sit undisturbed and watch the city glide by.

There are also smaller boats offering cruises with small groups and are therefore less touristy.

See more about the river trips here

 

Where in Seville do the river tours depart from?

Most river boats depart from the Golden Tower Torre del Oro.

From there they travel in both directions, so you get to see a lot of Seville at a leisurely pace and without traffic.

 

Are the river cruises a good experience?

I think a river cruise is the best way to experience Seville.

I appreciate the calm, the slow pace and that there is no traffic to deal with.

 

What was EXPO-92 in Seville?

EXPO-92 was the world exhibition held in Seville in 1992.

Each participating country built a magnificent pavilion, which has left an entire district of spectacular buildings.

In the 1990s – after the world exhibition was over – it became a desolate and abandoned area which was close to falling into disrepair.

But in the last several years the buildings have come back to life – and the area has been brightened up nicely with parks and lots of activity.

 

How to get to see in the EXPO-92 area of ​​Seville?

You can of course take a bus or taxi over there and walk around.

But you can also get a good look at the buildings and the area from one of the river boats on the river cruise.

Finally, you can see the area on a visit to either Seville’s amusement park ‘Isla Mágica’ or when you go to a football match at Sevilla FC’s stadium.

 

What are the worst tourist spots in Seville?

Unconditionally the square at the Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral.

Plaza de España is also very touristy.

 

How do you experience the authentic Seville?

Tourism is concentrated around the square at the Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral.

So to experience the authentic Seville, it’s just a matter of moving away from the square.

In order not to walk so much that your legs hurt at the end, take a tuk-tuk tour around Seville instead – and experience it all while sitting down.

Book an open tuk-tuk tour here

 

Is Torre del Oro in Seville worth a visit?

Yes, it is actually a nice attraction with an exhibition and a nice view over the city’s rooftops – as well as to Seville Cathedral.

 

Is there a lot of queue at Torre del Oro?

There are not many people here, there is no queue and tickets can be bought at the entrance.

 

Are the major tourist attractions really worth a visit?

Yes, both the Real Alcazar Palace and Seville’s magnificent cathedral are absolute musts.

There are a lot of tourists here, but at these two sights you have to live with the tourists.

Remember to buy a ticket in advance to avoid the long queues, e.g. Seville Super Combi

 

What is so special about Seville Cathedral?

Seville Cathedral is the biggest cathedral I have ever seen.

It is an insanely impressive building.

Inside, it is divided into many different zones and a lots of ​​side chapels – with absolutely incredible decoration.

 

Is La Giralda Tower at Seville Cathedral worth a visit?

The cathedral’s tower, La Giralda, is also quite impressive.

Especially, of course, the view over the whole city from the top of the tower.

La Giralda is Seville’s tallest building, surpassed only by the pylons of the highway bridge over the river.

 

Is there a lot of queue at Seville Cathedral?

Yes, if you haven’t ordered a ticket in advance, it takes forever to get in.

 

What is Real Alcazar de Sevilla?

The Real Alcazar is Seville’s old Moorish palace – built by the Arabs who lived in Andalusia from 711 to 1498, i.e. throughout the entire Middle Ages.

The palace has fantastic architecture with countless fine details and large, beautiful courtyards.

Despite the tourists, the palace is actually a breath of calm and freshness, not to mention the Arabs’ many water elements and fountains in their architecture.

The Real Alcazar is Seville’s biggest attraction – you don´t want to miss it!

 

What makes Real Alcazar special?

Even if you are not interested in architecture, the Real Alcazar is a magnificent experience.

The Moorish architecture has two things in particular that make it a great experience:

1. Water. There are water channels, pools and fountains everywhere. Not only to freshen up in the heat, but also as a beautiful architectural element.

2. Details. There are thousands of beautiful and unique details made manually by the craftsmen of the time.

 

Is the Real Alcazar as impressive as La Alhambra in Granada?

At least almost! It is the same Moorish architecture and style, yet they appear different.

Real Alcazar has several beautiful courtyards and constitutes a more ‘fresh’ environment with more water.

 

Can Real Alcazar be compared to La Mezquita in Cordoba?

No. While the Real Alcazar and La Alhambra are similar in architecture and style, La Mezquita in Cordoba is completely different.

It was also the Moors who built La Mezquita, but as a mosque – not a palace like the Real Alcazar and La Alhambra.

 

Is there a lot of queue to enter the Real Alcazar?

Yes, if you haven’t ordered tickets in advance, it takes a long time to get in.

 

How to avoid queuing at Seville Cathedral and Real Alcazar?

Avoid queuing at Seville Cathedral and the Real Alcazar by purchasing tickets in advance.

Choose e.g. both in the same ticket: Seville Super Combi

 

Is the Plaza de España in Seville worth a visit?

Yes, it’s a really nice square surrounded by a big beautiful building that was originally built for the Ibero-American Exposition in 1929.

 

Is the Plaza de España full of tourists?

Yes. But it is a large square, so even though there are many tourists here, you aren’t bothered by them – they spread out over the entire square.

 

Is the area around Plaza de España a fine place?

Yes, Plaza de España is located in a nice area, i.a. with a park directly opposite.

There are also several magnificent buildings in the area, for example: University of Seville and the government building Palacio de San Telmo.

 

Is the Seville district of Triana full of tourists?

Yes, at least by the restaurants at the riverside and the nearby streets.

The Triana district in Seville has become very well known – and therefore popular among tourists.

 

Can you experience Triana undisturbed?

Yes, move further into the small streets. Away from the restaurants and bridges.

Here you will find the real Triana – without too many tourists.

 

Can you see Seville in an open carriage?

I would advise against the horse-drawn carriages in the square by the Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral.

They are touristic and you may very well question the horses’ well-being, especially in the hot summer months.

A really good way to experience Seville in an open carriage is with an electric tuk-tuk, which is also not noisy.

Book a tuk-tuk ride here

 

Is it impossible to visit Seville without running into the tourist crowds?

Yes, it cannot be completely avoided.

Especially not because the Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral are musts.

But the tourists are very concentrated around the cathedral, so it is also easy to get away from them.

 

Is it easy to find restaurants in Seville?

Yes, that’s the least of the problems. There are restaurants and bars everywhere.

With great probability, Seville is the major city in the world with the most restaurants per 1000 inhabitants. And they are cheap!

 

What must absolutely be seen in Seville?

Don’t miss the Real Alcazar – it’s a magnificent experience.

Seville Cathedral is also pretty amazing.

Besides from those two there is nothing you absolutely must see.

Instead, go out into the small streets and try all the restaurants you pass. 1-2 tapas at each place.

And when your legs get tired, take a river trip or a tuk-tuk trip around to experience the city.
