Seville is undoubtedly a city in which to lose yourself. You wander through winding, narrow streets, past small squares filled with orange trees (even more intoxicating when in bloom), and suddenly, bang — the imposing Guadalquivir River appears. Or around another bend, another corner, bang — the Cathedral, with its iconic tower, La Giralda. Seville is a place to get lost and to soak up its history, scents, and flavours like almost nowhere else in Andalusia.
It is a spectacular city full of life, charm, and monumental beauty, where different architectural styles blend seamlessly. Walking through Seville is like travelling through time — from the Hispalis of ancient Rome, to the Almohad capital of Al-Andalus, to the city that became the gateway to the Americas. To truly understand Seville’s past, don’t miss its three must-see landmarks: the Royal Alcázar of Seville, the Cathedral of Seville (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the Barrio de Santa Cruz, the city’s most picturesque neighbourhood.
