Seville
Seville feels like Spain turned up to full volume. Flamenco echoes through the narrow streets of Triana, the scent of orange blossoms fills the air in spring, and the Alcázar looks like something from a dream. It's hot, loud, passionate, and absolutely magnetic. The tapas here might be the best in all of Spain — and locals don't even start dinner until 10pm.

Seville travel FAQ
How many days do I need in Seville?
3 days is perfect. Day one: the Alcázar (book online, €14.50 — try to get the first slot at 9:30am), Seville Cathedral and Giralda tower, then tapas in Barrio Santa Cruz. Day two: Plaza de España, Maria Luisa Park, and cross the bridge to Triana for ceramics and riverside bars. Day three: Metropol Parasol (€5 for the rooftop), the Flamenco Museum, and a live flamenco show at night (€20-35 at Casa de la Memoria).
What should I eat in Seville?
Tapas are a way of life here. Salmorejo (thick cold tomato soup), espinacas con garbanzos (spinach with chickpeas), and carrillada (slow-braised pork cheeks) are Seville essentials. Some places still give a free tapa with every drink. Bar El Comercio, Bodega Santa Cruz, and Casa Morales are excellent and affordable. For a sit-down meal, try the Triana market food stalls. Budget €15-25 for a full tapas crawl with drinks.
Is Seville safe to walk around?
Very safe overall. The historic center is well-lit and busy at night — Spaniards are out late. The main caution is petty theft, especially around the Cathedral and in crowded tourist areas. Keep your bag zipped and your phone secure. Walking is the best way to get around — most of the historic center is compact and pedestrianized. Summers are extremely hot, so plan sightseeing for mornings and evenings.
