What to expect in Seville

Seville has a laid back, sun-soaked atmosphere, perfect for friends, couples and families travelling. There's no shortage of sights to see, from Parque de María Luisa, the trendy Triana district or enjoy a cruise along the Guadalquivir River.

The city boasts a blend of Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance influences, which can be seen in the Alcázar of Seville, a stunning royal palace, and the Giralda, a towering bell tower that was once a minaret.

The Seville Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, is a must-visit for its breath-taking interiors and as the resting place of Christopher Columbus. Seville’s narrow, winding streets are filled with charming squares, traditional tapas bars and flamenco clubs are well worth a visit.

Culture in Seville

There's a passion for tradition and celebration in Seville. The city is renowned for its flamenco dance, which originated in Andalusia. Flamenco performances, often accompanied by live music, can be found in many local venues around the city.

Every year, Semana Santa (Holy Week) a week-long procession takes place, which features creatively designed floats and sculptures depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ. By contrast, Feria de Abril is a colourful festival celebrated with dancing, traditional dress, horse parades and locally source food and drink reflecting Seville’s love for sociability and community gatherings.

Family, hospitality, and a laid-back approach to life are central to Seville's culture, with locals taking pride in their city’s history, culinary traditions (especially tapas), and artful way of living.
