Sevilla! Gorgeous! In our Sevilla/Córdoba trip, I had wanted to like Córdoba more, but Sevilla was just too darn good. Visited March 2025.

The other reviews already describe well what there is to do here, so I'll leave those as bullet-points down below for what we covered in our trip. Our trip was made easier by pre-buying all of our tickets online before coming to the city – no line-waiting needed.

• Reales Alcázares - Fantastic audioguide that takes you through this massive complex with a super great built-in map and everything. You can spend a lot of time here, it's definitely the largest attraction in the city!
• Archivo de Indias - Easy to pop in and out, neat to see the central nervous system that the Spanish government administered their colonial interests in the Americas from.
• Giralda tower - The main attached cathedral was closed all day for a religious event, so we only got to do the tower but the view here is FANTASTIC and well worth it. Absolutely worth seeing.
• Parque Maria Luisa + Plaza de España - Wow, probably the most beautiful plaza in Spain! (And there are a lot in this country.) We re-created the shot from Star Wars Episode II here which was fun.
• Flamenco show - Woah! I'm not a big fan of dance but this was great! A very impressive and unique show, it's a cultural experience worth seeing. We opted for the most popular tourist tablao (a location where flamenco is danced) called "Teatro Flamenco Sevilla". There are a lot of local options.
• Casco Antiguo - Walking around the old "Casco Antiguo" neighborhood that directly surrounds the cathedral was surprsingly delightful. The architecture is so beautiful, all of the little shops and restaurants are so cute, the whole place is just great to just wander around and soak in.
• Setas - The world's largest wooden structure, recently constructed specifically to be a tourist attraction. (In a different part of the city than the rest of the sites.) It's very expensive to enter and I did not at all expect the fee to be worth it, but I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised. They list all of the "perks" you get access to with your timed ticket, but once you take the elevator up to the top of the Setas it is essentially a guided experience that you can take at any pace you want. Really great views, a cheesy movie, and some fun information about the city and the structure. I recommend going at sunset because the view is spectacular and then afterward you can see the Setas light up with different pulsing colors under your feet.
