The Journey
Santa Cruz District
Lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets of Santa Cruz, Seville's historic Jewish quarter and the soul of Andalusia. Experience the vibrant tapestry of colors adorning the whitewashed buildings, the rhythmic clatter of flamenco echoing from hidden patios, and the tantalizing aromas wafting from tapas bars. This is where Seville comes alive, a place to savor the authentic flavors and sounds of Spain.
Alcazar of Seville
Step back in time at the Alcazar of Seville, a UNESCO World Heritage site and Europe's oldest royal palace still in use. Marvel at the stunning blend of Moorish and Christian architecture, a testament to Seville's layered history. Explore the opulent chambers where Spanish royalty still reside and wander through the enchanting gardens, a serene oasis of lush vegetation and intricate fountains. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognize this as a filming location from seasons 5 and 6.
Seville Cathedral
Be awestruck by the sheer grandeur of Seville Cathedral, the world's largest Gothic cathedral and another UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore its vast interior, a treasure trove of art and history, including numerous chapels and the tomb of Christopher Columbus. Ascend the Giralda, the cathedral's bell tower (originally a minaret), for panoramic city views. The cathedral stands as a monument to Seville's power and wealth during the Age of Exploration.
Giralda Tower
Climb the Giralda, Seville Cathedral's iconic bell tower, and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Originally built as a minaret for the Great Mosque of Seville, the Giralda offers a unique glimpse into the city's Moorish past.
