The best hotels in Seville 

By Agnish Ray

The best hotels in Seville for 2024

Seville is ready for a true return to form. The city whose splendour has inspired countless works of music, art and poetry is in the beating heart of Andalucía , with its enchanting streets lined with orange trees and Moorish highlights. It’s a flavour that infuses the city’s architecture, which is also full of colonial influences due to the wealthy merchants that traded across the Spanish Empire. Saturated with various styles and cultures, many of the city's age-old properties have been carefully converted into cool places to stay, while remaining steeped in heritage. Whether you're in search of a rooftop pool to dip into or classic Moorish architecture, this is your ultimate guide to the best Seville hotels.

What are the best hotels in Seville with a view?

For a beautiful vista, we love Unuk in the Soho district, where guests can take in the city sights from the rooftop pool and terrace. The experience rooms on the third floor all come their own private terraces that overlook the city, as well as sun loungers and a jacuzzi. Nearby in the Santa Cruz District, some of the rooms at EME Catedral Mercer have beautiful views of Seville’s cathedral – although the best vantage point is from the rooftop bar. For a grand stay, some of the rooms at Alfonso XIII have views from their private balconies.

How we choose the best hotels in Seville

Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.

Hacienda San Rafael

Hacienda San Rafael Arrow

Featured in our Gold List of the best hotels in the world 2024

Black-and-white photographs of Hacienda de San Rafael show a handsome, solitary farmhouse slipping quietly into oblivion amid rolling fields of cotton and wheat in Andalusia’s agricultural heartland. That was before Kuky Mora-Figueroa inherited it and, with her English husband, Tim Reid decided to breathe new life and purpose into its 18th-century bones. It was 1992 when the Hacienda first opened its doors as a hotel. Now, three decades on, it has mellowed and matured, blending into gardens of riotous colour and scent, and quietly expanding from 11 to 20 rooms to include three thatched casitas and a pool villa. Although Mora Figueroa and Reid have handed the reins to their two sons, Anthony and Patrick, their imprint still defines the look and feel of the place, with an eclectic assortment of heirlooms and antiques mixed with travel treasures. Old-world, aristocratic and grand is the first impression on approaching the Hacienda’s distinctive white and yellow façade, but guests are greeted like long-lost friends. The temptation is to stay put, curled up with a book by one of the four pools or snoozing in a shady corner of the garden, but Seville and Jerez are within reach, and there’s a multitude of curated experiences on offer, from horse riding, hiking and bird-watching to sherry tasting in the region’s finest bodegas. Few pleasures can match the simplicity of an ice-cold glass of manzanilla sipped beneath the jacaranda tree at the front of the Hacienda, while the sun drops to the horizon. Pamela Goodman

Address: N-4, Km.594, 41730 Las Cabezas de San Juan, Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £457 per night

Nobu Sevilla

First in: Nobu Hotel Sevilla Arrow

The new Nobu Hotel, on the edge of the Plaza San Francisco, is blessed with one of the best locations in the historical heart of the city. Practically all of the must-dos are a short stroll away, from the jaw-dropping cathedral, the Giralda and Real Alcázar palace to convivial tapas bars, leafy squares, and streetside cafés that provide excellent people-watching – this is an eminently elegant city. Housed in two buildings dating back to the early 20th century, the hotel’s blend of Japanese minimalism and inspiration from local artisanal heritage feels like a refreshing departure from some of the city’s more maximalist options. The 25 rooms and suites here have an uncluttered, calming mood, and those facing the square are filled with natural sunlight. The onsite restaurant offers reliably good Nobu classics, as well as a menu of smaller bites in the adjacent bar, but the real showstopper is the rooftop terrace. Bijou in size but big in impact, it’s worth heading up early to secure a spot for sundowners among the city’s rooftops. You’ll also find the hotel’s plunge pool up here, not big enough for laps but perfect for cooling off from Seville’s hot summer sun. Nicola Chilton

Address: Pl. de S. Francisco, 11-12, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £246 per night

Alfonso XIII

Hotel Alfonso XIII review Arrow

For a taste of truly regal extravagance, look no further. Built specially for Seville’s 1929 Expo, this majestic establishment was commissioned by the then king of Spain, who gave it his own name. Look out for the monarch’s mahogany and bronze throne: this was originally used in the royal office of the premises, which is where the restaurant Ena now sits. Here, executive chef Brian Deegan had just launched a new menu including grilled Iberian pork with escalivada and scallops with cauliflower foam. The hotel’s 148 rooms alternate Andalusian , Castilian and Moorish decorative styles; with grand stairways, sweeping corridors and ornamental patterns everywhere the eye can see.

Address: C. San Fernando, 2, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £250 per night

Mercer Hotel Sevilla

Mercer Sevilla hotel review Arrow

Spanish boutique hotel group Mercer – specialists in remodelling historic buildings into smart accommodation – converted this late 19th-century mansion in the El Arenal neighbourhood into a polished, elegant five-star hotel in 2016. Seville-based architecture firm Cruz y Ortiz restored the period building, maintaining characterful original features such as the marble spiral staircase. With just 11 bedrooms, the atmosphere is palatial yet intimate and the cool colours of the spaces create a stylish look, tastefully complemented by modern furniture pieces. Also in Seville is its larger city centre sister property, EME Catedral Mercer, whose rooftop bar is a popular drinks spot with knockout views of Seville’s spectacular cathedral.

Address: C. de Castelar, 26, Casco Antiguo, 41001 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £269 per night

Palacio Villapanés

Palacio Villapanés hotel review Arrow

Step through the massive wooden doors of this 18th-century property and up the marble steps to the sound of water trickling from a fountain surrounded by gardenias, magnolias and palms. From its restaurant to its orange tree courtyard out back, captivating vistas await you at each step around this splendid Baroque palace named after the marquis of Villapanés, whose descendants lived in it until just 15 years ago. Originally, however, it was built by the marquis of Torreblanca de Aljarafe, whose immense coat of arms can be found on the grand staircase that ascends from the romantic central patio. It’s a step into history, although contemporary designers from Philippe Starck to Patricia Urquiola have helped to create the spaces you see today.

Address: C. Santiago, 31, Casco Antiguo, 41003 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £220 per night

Corral del Rey

Corral del Rey hotel review Arrow

Set in what was once a busy trading neighbourhood, this welcoming 16-room boutique is divided across buildings on either side of the narrow street with which it shares its name. Two of the rooms have private outdoor pool terraces for a glass of wine while taking a dip. Bars and cafés are found on the nearby Plaza de Alfalfa, and popping into the Casa Pilatos and the Iglesia del Salvador is a must. The olive oil served at breakfast is produced on the grounds of Corral del Rey’s sister property, Hacienda de San Rafael , a countryside ranch with six acres of gardens, about 45 minutes drive from Seville – a dreamy rural escape to disconnect after a few days in the city.

Address: C. Corral del Rey, 12, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £282 per night

Plácido y Grata

Plácido y Grata hotel review Arrow

In a step away from the classic Seville look – colourful and opulent – the city’s latest arrival has gone for a pared-back, minimalist aesthetic that feels contemporary and cosmopolitan. Owner Marta Santana designed the new hotel with her Barcelona -based studio Your Living Space. The muted colour palette is soothing, while touches of terracotta found throughout are earthy and warm; decorative pieces range from Swiss icons Le Corbusier and Vitra to contemporary Scandinavian brands like Ferm Living and Skagerrak. The hotel welcomes locals at its trendy café (one of the few in the city serving speciality coffee), a relaxed drinks bar and – a one minute walk across the street – its restaurant which serves fresh, modern Spanish cuisine.

Address: C. Monsalves, 4, Casco Antiguo, 41001 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £173 per night

Unuk

Unuk hotel review Arrow

This new Seville-born hotel brand opened its stylish townhouse in the ‘Soho’ district, a flourishing barrio for contemporary art galleries , independent clothing outlets and handicraft boutiques. An immediate favourite of the young, stylish crowd, it has quickly established itself as one of the best hotels in Seville. It’s urban luxury at this property, whose outdoor spaces on the roof extend across various levels, including seawater swimming pool. Unuk’s personalised concierge service will help you get to know not just Seville but all of Andalucia. But before going further afield, be sure to visit the nearby Setas de Sevilla, an undulated overhead wooden structure made up of six parasols resembling giant mushrooms; climb to the top for a 360-view across the city.

Address: C. Ortiz de Zúñiga, 8, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £196 per night

Las Casas del Rey de Baeza hotel review Arrow

There’s a famous song that says Sevilla tiene un color especial ('Seville has a special colour'). For this 41-room hotel, located in the Santa Catalina neighbourhood, that colour is a turquoise blue found in the painted wooden railings and columns that line the central courtyards, with cobbled stone floors and creepers climbing up the whitewashed walls. A communal building like this – a corral de vecinos – would historically have been residence to families of workers who served in Seville’s many aristocratic palaces and stately homes. The hotel is named after the king of the taifa of Baeza, a mediaeval kingdom that existed for just two years in the 13th century Al Andalus.

Address: Pl. Jesús de la Redención, 2, Casco Antiguo, 41003 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £177 per night

Hotel Amadeusmay

Hotel Amadeus review Arrow

Seville is more than just flamenco – classical music lovers will also find inspiration here. Sisters Zaida and Cristina run this charming hotel, once the home they grew up in, and a homage to their family’s love of classical music: find it hidden away in the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, home to Seville’s Alcazar and cathedral . The 42 rooms are named after classical greats from Puccini and Liszet to Monteverdi and Maria Callas. Cellos and violins hang as decoration, which can be plucked from the walls for a fiddle, and you can’t miss the grand piano and harp in the main patio. There are also rehearsal rooms where guests can brush up on their symphonies and stretch their vocal cords.

Address: C. Farnesio, 6, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £160 per night

Triana House

Triana House hotel review Arrow

The sound of strumming guitars and mournful singing might drift in the air as you stroll the streets of Triana, historically home to blacksmiths, craftspeople, bullfighters and - most importantly - some of the world’s best flamenco dancers and singers. Triana House, a cosy guesthouse with six rooms, is testament to the authentic, homely feel of the barrio. In tribute to one of its strongest craft traditions, the property features ceramic tiles made by local artisans. A small but exquisitely decorated property, Triana House expanded in 2022, opening a new seven-bedroom boutique hotel just next door, whose opulent aesthetics represent Andalusian grandeur, with Cordobán leatherwork and gold leaf details.

Address: C. Rodrigo de Triana, 94-98, 41010 Sevilla, Spain

Price: From around £138 per night

The Best Hotels in Seville for a Sun-Soaked City Break

Where to stay in the southern Spanish city

best hotels in seville

Ibiza's luxury hotels might be best for summer blowouts and Barcelona is a year-round favourite, but this Andalucian city is hard to beat if you're in search of authentic Spanish culture.

Sun-baked Seville is affectionately known among Spaniards as ‘the frying pan’, so you can be sure of clear skies and balmy temperatures as you stroll the Barrio de Santa Cruz – the city’s old town (and former Jewish quarter) is where you’ll find the Alcázar Palace and the cathedral, plus its famous La Giralda bell tower.

After oranges (or possibly before), flamenco is Seville’s most famous export and you’ll be able to give it a whirl in a hole-in-the-wall bar. For ceramics, don’t miss the Triana neighbourhood and its many pottery studios.

When it comes to the best hotels in Seville, Hotel Alfonso XIII is fit for royalty and was built to the spec of its namesake king, ready to receive his esteemed guests.

Or check in to Corral del Rey , a boutique hotel in one of the city’s many palace houses, now with an added rooftop pool.

From old-town boltholes to the places to stay with pools , this is Esquire 's edit of the best hotels in Seville…

best hotels in seville

A little on the traditional side, Gravina 51 is nonetheless one of Seville’s most charming stays – the boutique hotel has 37 rooms and a two-bedroom apartment for anyone hoping to hang around a little longer or bring the kids along. Highlights of this Seville stay include the handy historic centre location, a peaceful patio and breakfasts that serve local produce only. There's no formal restaurant, but the bar dispenses snacks, including platefuls of the ultimate tapa jamón Ibérico. It’s set within one of Seville’s palace houses, with all of the 18th-century building’s original character and features intact, only now with added WiFi. There's also a rooftop terrace to relax on, or for added privacy, book a room with its own balcony.

Hotel Alfonso XIII

best hotels in seville

If you're in search of Seville's stateliest stay, look no further than Hotel Alfonso XIII . Made to order for the King of Spain, who, back in 1929, wanted somewhere showy to host his visiting dignitaries, this royal retreat continued the tradition over the next few decades, welcoming Charles and Diana, Prince Rainier and Grace of Monaco, and Hollywood stars from Sophia Loren to Brad Pitt. We’re sure they enjoyed the opulence, along with the classically Andalucian accents.

The palm-edged Moorish palace – which has an outdoor pool and courtyard to cool off in – is in the historic Santa Cruz quarter and close to the city’s Gothic cathedral.

Fans of art deco detailing will enjoy cocktails in Bar Americano, or for brunch with a live-piano soundtrack, turn up at Restaurante San Fernando at 1pm on Sundays. Tapas classics and an extensive wine list are served at Ena Sevilla.

Hotel Colón Gran Meliá

best hotels in seville

It may have an average annual temperature of a balmy 25 degrees Celsius, but if you're visiting Seville during the summer, when the mid thirties are not uncommon, you’ll be grateful to the Hotel Colón Gran Meliá for adding a pool to its rooftop terrace. From up here, you’ll be able to admire the city sights from afar, instead of down at street level. And when you are in search of even more extreme temperatures (if you can take them), head to the Clarins spa to use its sauna, hammam and thermal showers. The hotel opened in 1929 (clearly a prolific year for accommodation around here) and is another Seville landmark, popular with bullfighters and celebrities. Its El Burladero restaurant – and its southern Spanish cuisine – is loved by locals and visitors alike, who come for the tapas and ideally a seat out on the terrace. At second restaurant La Abacería del Colón, it's the jamón that takes centre-stage.

Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza

best hotels in seville

Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza may have a lengthy name, but its location can be summed up succinctly: extremely central. It's right in the city's historic heart – the Santa Cruz neighbourhood is home to the cathedral and the Real Alcázar palace, and it also enjoys proximity to the tapas bars of Calle Mateos Gago.

The heritage hotel has repurposed a traditional 18th-century courtyard. From your old-town HQ, you’ll be able to visit the Alcázar and cathedral's La Giralda bell tower, as well as a museum entirely dedicated to flamenco dancing.

The staff will be able to point you precisely in the direction of the best convent-made cakes, Andalucian fashion and the places to stockpile pottery in the Triana neighbourhood. Tapas tastings can take place in the courtyard or up on the rooftop terrace.

CoolRooms Palacio Villapanés

best hotels in seville

The best hotels in Seville err towards the aged side, clearly – this one is another palace, built in the 18th century and with the intricately carved wooden doors to prove it. CoolRooms Palacio Villapanés is also now the proud owner of a rooftop bar and pool. The baroque building – now protected as a key example of the architectural style – was originally designed for an admiral. It is just outside of the Barrio Alfalfa and a 15-minute walk from the cathedral and Alcázar. Also on your doorstep are the narrow lanes of the Barrio de Santa Cruz, which you could easily while a day away exploring. The high ceilings, grand staircase, marble columns and shutters all blend seamlessly with newer additions, which include mid-century furniture by the design queen Patricia Urquiola. The staff look suitably dapper, thanks to uniforms created by the Galician designer Roberto Diz.

Casa del Poeta

best hotels in seville

You’re probably getting the picture by now – Seville isn’t really big on modern hotels. Yet another historic hideaway is Casa del Poeta , a boutique hotel set in a 17th-century house that has been eased into the 21st century, but was allowed to bring its period features and original architecture with it. There are just 18 rooms and the hotel’s centrepiece is its patio and fountain. The old-town setting means you’ll be a three-minute walk from the cathedral and the neighbourhood’s narrow pedestrianised streets will lead you to more of Seville’s top heritage sites, including the famous Alcázar. The Barrio de Santa Cruz and flamenco hotspots are all within a short stroll away, too.

Hotel Casa 1800

best hotels in seville

Another converted mansion-palace now open to guests, Hotel Casa 1800 was built in 1864. You can still see the studded wooden doors that were created when horse-drawn carriages still had to fit through the gates. A meticulous restoration has ensured its heritage is preserved, but it’s just as homely as ever ( casa by name and nature, you could say). The rooms, which feature exposed-brick walls, chandeliers and gilded headboards, are arranged around a central courtyard, with a pool-enhanced terrace at the top promising perfect panoramas – you’ll be able to see La Giralda bell tower, the rooftops and spires of Santa Cruz, and the greenery of the Alcázar gardens.

There's no restaurant at the hotel, but guests are invited to join afternoon snacktime on the patio, served daily between 4.30pm and 6.30pm, and the ideal pitstop to come home to.

H10 Casa de la Plata

best hotels in seville

What this new-build hotel in the pedestrianised shopping precinct lacks in historic character, it makes up for in traditional tiles, crafted nearby in the colourful barrio of Triana (Seville’s ceramic-mad centre), latticework and a classically Andalucian courtyard. The decor at H10 Casa de la Plata also includes black and white bathrooms, wooden floors and irreverent oil paintings.

Head downstairs to the Moorish-style pool to cool off from the city’s unforgiving heat beside the shade-supplying olive trees and the marble Roman bath, or follow the hotel’s handy tapas map around the neighbourhood. It's well placed for ticking off most of Seville's city-centre sights.

Mercer Sevilla

best hotels in seville

One of the grandest hotels in Seville (and we’re not just talking about the ceiling heights), Mercer Sevilla is in El Arenal, among the city’s oldest and most atmospheric districts. There are just 12 rooms and suites, set across two floors within this late-19th-century mansion near Nueva Square. The neighbourhood was once frequented by Miguel de Cervantes and, in the 16th and 17th centuries, it was home to one of the most important ports in the world. The contemporary design of the hotel complements its historic backdrop seamlessly – and you’ll be especially pleased that a rooftop bar and pool have been introduced. At Mercer Sevilla's María Luisa restaurant, guests can take their pick from the Mediterranean menu, with ingredients such as sobrassada from Mallorca, prawns from Huelva, Cantabrian anchovies and Spanish Retinto beef all featuring.

Nobu Sevilla

best hotels in seville

There’s no stopping the expansion of Nobu Hotels – they do have one of the most successful Hollywood actors of all time backing them after all. In case you’ve missed it, that’s Robert De Niro, who initially encouraged chef Nobu Matsuhisa to take his Nikkei concept global while dining at his Los Angeles restaurant in the late Eighties, pleading with him to open another outpost in Tribeca, which he eventually did in 1994. Since then, they’ve brought black miso cod, rock shrimp tempura and yellowtail sashimi to the world, with editions everywhere from London to Las Vegas, via Marrakech, Madrid and Miami. Many now come with hotels attached, as is the case in the sunny Spanish city Seville's Nobu, where there’s a rooftop terrace and plunge pool, a cocktail bar, and rooms and suites that blend contemporary Japanese design with Andalucian accents. And yes, plenty of opportunities to order black cod.

Ocean Drive Seville

best hotels in seville

We hope you can forgive us if you now have a certain mid-Nineties easy-listening anthem stuck in your head, but allow us to introduce this Seville hotel, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Lighthouse Family (or Miami, for that matter). In the heart of the city’s historic centre and the Encarnación quarter, the 49-bedroom hotel has a rather striking neighbour. It’s impossible to miss the mushroom-shaped Las Setas, a wooden structure designed by the Berlin architect Jürgen Mayer that’s home to a rooftop terrace, a market, a museum, various restaurants and its very own square for performances. All rooms at Ocean Drive Seville have a balcony or terrace, but for the most outdoor space, book a suite, each of which has a roomy 27-square-metre deck. Keen-eyed mid-century magpies will be thrilled to spot an Eames LCW chair, on show in some of the accommodation alongside other design classics. The hotel's prime location puts you within a 10-minute walk of the cathedral, the Royal Alcázar and the shopper-friendly Tetuán Street.

Corral del Rey

best hotels in seville

In possession of a temperature-regulating rooftop pool (we’re sensing a trend here, which inevitably sweaty tourists will no doubt be relieved about), Corral del Rey is another heritage palace house hidden away down a narrow labyrinthine street in the old quarter. And if you love classic boutique hotels, this small-scale stay in the Barrio de Santa Cruz is the dream Seville bolthole for your next city break. The guestrooms are set across three buildings, and the interiors include beamed ceilings, medieval wooden doorways, marble pillars, colourful headboards and original wooden shutters that dawn doesn’t stand a chance against. Light bites (that’s tapas in these parts) are served in the ground-floor café-lounge, or you can stumble out each morning in search of strong coffee and churros.

Travel/Europe/SpainHow to have a perfect weekend in Seville – Andalucia’s sultry capital An insider guide to 48 hours in Spain’s steamy southern city, home to fabulous food, extraordinary architecture and exotic flamenco

Known for its steamy-hot summers, mild winters and sultry operatic gypsy heroine Carmen, Seville is a bijou city whose fabulous food, extraordinary Mudejar, Gothic and Renaissance architecture, and exotic flamenco rhythms never fail to charm and seduce. History oozes through its pores, with ancient Moorish walls, Roman ruins and Baroque churches at every turn.

Follow the locals to hole-in-the-wall bars, sip cañas (small glasses) of beer, and then get lost wandering the tiny streets of Barrio Santa Cruz, dotted with orange-tree-filled plazas, before resting in a quiet, shady corner on a tiled bench. For a more authentic experience, head to boho Macarena or tile-and-gypsy quarter Triana. Then, after dusk, head up the rooftops to admire the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and its Moorish-Christian tower from a terrace bar.

For further Seville inspiration, see our in-depth guides to the city’s best hotels, restaurants, bars, things to see and do, and things to see and do for free. If planning a longer trip, discover our ultimate itinerary in Andalucia here.

Insider tips

When should I visit Seville?

Where to stay in Seville

What to bring home

Essential information: what to know before you go

Be swept back in time to King Pedro the Wise’s Mudejar (Christian-Moorish) royal court at the 14th-century Alcazar Palace, with its exquisite ceramic tiles and heavenly gold ceilings. Explore the gardens, home to peacocks, pavilions and pools. Look familiar? You may have seen it as the Water Gardens of Dorne in Game of Thrones. In summer they hold outdoor night-time concerts here, probably Seville’s most magical venue, with the grutesco stone wall as a backdrop as moonlight streams through the palm trees. Note that tickets are collected from the office in the Patio de Banderas, not at the main entrance; entry is free on Monday afternoons. Find more of the city’s best attractions here.

Then cross Plaza del Triunfo and be wowed by Seville Cathedral, the third-largest in the world. The basilica’s scale is jaw-dropping, with a 130ft-plus-high nave and 80 chapels. Be sure to climb up the Giralda belltower, formerly the minaret of the mosque which stood here, for fabulous views over Barrio Santa Cruz. For lunch, reward yourself with some divine modern tapas at nearby La Azotea – try tuna tacos with guacamole or rabbit ribs with garlic and thyme.

Head down Calle San Fernando, stopping off at the Royal Tobacco Factory, one of the settings for Seville’s famed Carmen – spot the head of Colon (Christopher Columbus) on the entrance – and stroll on to Parque Maria Luisa, home to pretty tiled benches, shady corners named after love poets, and magnificent Plaza de España. This vast brick structure, built for the 1929 Expo, is a photographer’s dream, with its wide plaza, elliptical walls, and colourful ceramics and flowers. Look out for the statue of architect Anibal Gonzalez, gazing at his creation.

One of Seville’s slickest restaurants, Seis, in central Plaza Nueva, ticks all the boxes for décor (jungle-themed with myriad trailing tendrils), service (efficient, friendly staff), and food (modern Mediterranean-Asian), as well as offering superb value. Start off with a cucumber margarita at the lively bar (you’re under a tree canopy). Then slide into a cosy booth for Peruvian sea bass ceviche or an Iberian pulled pork hotdog.

Finish off your evening at rooftop bar EME Catedral Mercer Terraza, where you can mingle with the smart crowd, and sip a mojito at eye level with some gravity-defying flying buttresses.

Head over the river to the bohemian, sailor and ceramic tile neighbourhood of Triana. Start off with a visit to the Museo de Cerámica de Triana, which explains about this local industry, including the famous azulejos (glazed tiles), stretching back centuries – you’ll have seen sumptuous polychromatic examples already, in the Alcazar palace and around the city.

Then pop next door and absorb the sights, smells and sounds of Triana Market, replete with fresh local produce – don’t miss the fabulous fish stalls, with scary-looking seafood, or skilled jamon-carvers. Saunter down calle Pureza to Seville’s oldest parish church, Santa Ana, built in 1266. Look out for the painting of Santa Rufina and Santa Justa, Christian martyrs who were potters from Triana; the city’s patron saints, they’re pictured with the Giralda, which they saved from an earthquake, according to local legend. Find more of the best free things to do in the city here.

Back over the river, down an unprepossessing back street near the Setas, is the sublime Palo Cortao. A haven for sherry-lovers (hence the name), this place has more than 70 vinos de jerez, from dry, pale finos to golden, nutty olorosos. The seasonal menu tends towards seafood, with daily fish and rice specials; for carnivores, a pulled pork brioche, while vegetarian fare might feature sweet potato gnocchi with almond and truffle sauce. Owners Anna (front of house) and Angel (chef) and their excellent team tend to diners on the small terrace and inside. Find more of the city’s best restaurants here.

Over on the Alameda de Hercules, centre of bearded hipster-dom, go up to rooftop bar at the Corner House for a bird’s eye view of alternative Seville – the terrace offers an unpretentious, laid-back vibe; Aperol spritz is the drink of choice.

Cross back into the gypsy district and head to Flamenco Esencia at Taberna La Quedá de Triana, just off Calle Betis, which has authentic flamenco shows on an intimate scale – the performers are swishing their skirts inches from your face. You might even see a neighbour joining in spontaneously, in the true spirit of flamenco. Have a beer (you get one with your ticket) , or go on a tapas tour with a dancer, learn about flamenco, and finish up at the show.

Then head down Calle Betis to Embarcadero, a nautical-feel bar with tables almost on the water. Alternatively, if you feel inspired to take to the floor yourself, go back towards Triana Bridge to Lo Nuestro, where locals practise Sevillanos, a local version of flamenco performed in pairs at the Spring Fair, to live music all year round. A gin-tonic will give you the Dutch courage you need. Find more of the city’s best bars here.

Metropol Parasol is Seville’s modern architectural icon, and the world’s largest wooden structure. Consisting of six mushroom-shaped shades (it’s known locally as las Setas, the Mushrooms) the 92ft-tall structure houses an archaeological museum, a food market and bars, and an area for concerts. Take the lift up to the panoramic walkway with spectacular 360-degree views. Your ticket gives you two visits, so don’t miss the nighttime light show, as well as a short film on a vast, curved screen.

On Calle San Luis, in the Macarena district, you can find quirky craft shops, and Seville’s finest baroque church. In the faded grandeur of Plaza Pumarejo, try the daily fish stew special at Casa Macareno, in a striking blue-fronted former ultramarinos (grocery shop).

Avoid the hefty queues to get into Seville Cathedral by purchasing a combined entry ticket (€13/£11) from El Salvador Church, a five-minute walk away, which is valid for both the church and the cathedral and Giralda. It’s slightly more expensive than online (€12/£10), but also avoids timed entry, so you can go to the huge basilica when you want.

Forget taxis, catch the airport bus (Line EA) – a snip at €4 (£3.50) – which runs to Plaza de Armas, Paseo Colon or Avenida Carlos V, in the heart of the city.

Seville was one of the earliest Moorish conquests and to this day retains incredible architecture from this time. Explore ancient walls and towers near the Macarena Gate, and the hidden Torre de Plata on Calle Postigo de Carbon.

Spring and autumn are the best times to visit the city, when the daytime temperatures are warm, with mild evenings. The city comes to life for Semana Santa (Holy Week) in March/April, followed by Feria two weeks later – the sherried-up, frilly-dress-and-dancing party in a fairground to the south of the city.

In summer, the afternoons and evenings are sweltering, with siestas a must and a pool for cooling dips advisable, while winter days can be cool and rainy. But the sun shines (almost) all year round, so you’re virtually guaranteed blue skies and amazing light.

The magnificent Hotel Alfonso XIII, which is framed by palm trees, is a much-loved piece of Seville’s history. With lamps bearing crowns and regal beds, you could say it’s fit for a king or queen.

Azulejos (ceramic tiles) are a must-buy – Ceramica Triana, with a spectacular façade, has a mind-boggling selection of colourful wares, and takes commissions too. The shop is handily located next to Centro Ceramica Triana, a factory-turned-museum about the craft. For exquisite antique pieces, try Populart in Santa Cruz.

A local institution for more than a century, La Tienda Ines Rosales is famous for its thin crispy olive oil biscuits, tortas de aceite – try the Seville orange or lemon flavour. In addition to these, and other Ines Rosales pastries, the shop has an outstanding selection of premium-quality products, mostly from Andalucia: including wine (top tip: Concubis limited-edition tempranillo aged in Spanish oak, from nearby Cazalla de la Sierra), and extra virgin olive oil – look out for Castillo de Canena olive oil-based “natural essences” – No1 is Sevilla in a bottle: bitter orange, thyme and orange blossom, as well as Benditaluz’s delectable orange flower water and jasmine-scented body lotions (well, when in Seville...).

Seville city guide: What to do on a weekend break to the Andalusian capital

Just named the best city to visit in 2018, here’s how to make the most of a stay in the southern spanish gem of seville, article bookmarked.

A longtime favourite of foodies and flamenco fans with its steamy dance floors and buzzing tapas scene, Seville was recently named best city to visit in 2018 by Lonely Planet – no pressure, then. Thankfully, an ever-growing gamut of alluring boutique hotels and an impressive cultural programme will not disappoint. The Year of Murillo, with a multitude of exhibitions and events to celebrate the Golden Age painter’s 400th anniversary ( murilloensevilla.com ), starts on 28 November. A compact and charming city, it’s not hard to see why the Andalusian capital captures so many hearts.

Get your bearings

The city’s main area lies on the right bank of the Guadalquivir (“mighty river” in Arabic), which curves past the old Expo 92 site (1) and hip Triana quarter (2) on the left. The roughly circular area formerly enclosed by city walls, now marked by a ring road, is the Casco Antiguo (historic district), in whose south-east corner lies Barrio Santa Cruz (3). This old Jewish quarter is a maze of narrow cobbled streets, flower-filled patios, and shady tiled squares. Just outside the barrio, by the Alcazar, is the main tourist office (4) (0034 954 787 578), open daily from 9.30am-7.30pm.

Take a view

Whatever your opinion of its six waffley shades, the panoramic vistas from the 28m-high winding walkway atop Metropol Parasol (5) ( setasdesevilla.com ) – the largest wooden structure in the world – are unbeatable. Spot elegant arched bridges, tiled church domes, the gargantuan cathedral and the Expo 92 site from its lofty heights; there’s also a small cafe/bar-with-a-view.

Take a hike

Start from Metropol Parasol, turning right out of Plaza Encarnacion onto Calle Laraña. Bear left at Calle Cuna, and stroll past the Palace of the Condesa de Lebrija (6), which hides a treasure trove of Roman mosaics and oriental art, while Teatro Quintero (7) on the other side of the road hosts plays, cabaret and flamenco. Carry on down Calle Cuna, turning right onto Pl del Salvador when you reach the end of the road. Take a right onto Calle Alvarez Quintero and follow the road round until you see Plaza San Francisco (8), behind the Ayuntamiento (town hall) (9), on your right. This was the scene of dark deeds during the Spanish Inquisition. On the Ayuntamiento’s other side is tree-lined Plaza Nueva (10), where King Fernando III, who reconquered the city from the Moors in 1248, stands proud on his horse. The broad main thoroughfare Avenida de la Constitucion (11), which is now for trams and bikes only, sweeps you down past the city’s most unmissable monument: the Cathedral (12). Save this for tomorrow and instead check out the Archivo de Indias (13), which has maps and documents charting the discovery of the Americas.

The Metropol Parasol is the place to soak up the best views (Getty)

Lunch on the run

A stone’s throw from the Cathedral is Casa Morales (14) (0034 954 22 12 42) a classic Sevillano tapas joint – long wooden bar, briskly efficient waiters, and a well-heeled crowd. Stand in the front part, or sit next to giant tinajas (wine jars) at the back, and dine on jamon serrano, hearty meat stews or smoked sardines with salmorejo (creamy tomato soup), washed down with the local Cruzcampo beer.

Window shopping

Calle Francos (15), behind Plaza San Francisco (8), is full of small shops selling gourmet treats and unusual trinkets. In Sagra (16) (00 34 666 435269) you’ll find colourful Hebrea sashes used to adorn the Virgin Mary during Lent. Stock up on glorious Seville orange-scented Benditaluz lotions at Dale Un Capricho (17) ( daleuncapricho.com ), and indulge your inner fashionista at eclectic art gallery and store WabiSabi (18) ( wabisabigallery.com ) with cute leather bags, quirky ceramics and chic frocks. Smaller shops open 10am-2pm and 5-8pm.

An aperitif

Rub shoulders with the locals at La Antigua Bodega (19) (0034 954 561 833), usually heaving on a sunny weekend. Forget the tiny interior – you’re here to enjoy the square, dominated by El Salvador, Seville’s second-most important church, built over a mosque. Sip a beer or fino sherry (€1.30) and soak up the atmosphere.

Dine with the locals

Outstanding atun de almadraba (sustainably caught bluefin tuna) from Cadiz is the star ingredient, with retinto beef a close second, at funky newcomer Zoko (20) ( restaurantezoko.com ), or hang with the glam crowd at Lobo Lopez (21) ( facebook.com/LoboLopezRestaurante ) – think flirty waiters, a living wall and jazzy cocktails. The menu is modern gastro tapas, with ceviche, croquettes and lobster dogs on offer.

Seville boasts many delightful plazas packed with tapas joints (Getty)

Out to brunch

Kök (22) ( koktucocina.com ) only serves brunch (weekends, 10am-4pm), so you know you’re in good hands. This bright and cheery favourite in the down-to-earth Macarena district boasts four set menus at €15-20, with cheese, cold meat, fish, eggs, and yoghurt with fruit and muesli (vegetarian and vegan options available) presented on cake stands, plus toast with excellent home-made jam. Dare your waistline with bagels and pancakes.

Take a ride

Seville is small enough to walk around, but if you want to take a short hop, you’ve got multiple buses and the tram ( tussam.es ), plus the Metro ( metro-sevilla.es ). The tram line is laughably short, running 2km from Plaza Nueva south to San Bernardo, while the Metro line runs east-west to the outskirts. Catch the 01 bus from the Maria Auxiliadora stop (23) and jump off at Avenida Carlos V (24), from where it’s a five-minute walk to one of Seville’s loveliest parks.

A walk in the park

South of Puerta Jerez, near metro/tram stop Prado de San Sebastian, Parque Maria Luisa (24) has shady avenues and tiled benches designed for gentle ambles. Row your boat around the canal of Plaza de España, a vast semi-circular building dating from the 1929 Expo, adorned with tiled homages of Spain’s 48 provinces.

Cultural afternoon

The big two not to be missed are the Cathedral (12) ( catedraldesevilla.es ) and Alcazar royal palace (25) ( alcazarsevilla.org ). The largest Gothic cathedral in the world, housing Columbus’ magnificent tomb and a vast carved altar piece, it also features a 12th-century minaret-with-bells-on, well worth the climb. Top tip: buy your double-entry ticket (€9) at El Salvador church first and skip the cathedral queue. The Alcazar, familiar to Game of Thrones fans as the Water Gardens of Dorne, is a slice of Mudejar (Islamic-Christian) paradise with technicolour ceramic tiles, eye-popping 3D plasterwork, and a gold-domed ceiling representing the heavens. Entry is €9.50.

The icing on the cake

Hop over the river to Triana, once the poor working-class area, now with fortunes revived – the buzzing market (26) ( mercadodetrianasevilla.com ) has fabulous fresh produce, a mini-theatre with daily flamenco and a cooking school, while nearby museums of ceramics (27) ( juntadeandalucia.es/cultura/agendaandaluciatucultura/evento/centro-ceramica-triana ) and the Inquisition (28) ( andalucia.org/es/turismo-cultural/visitas/sevilla/otras-visitas/centro-tematico-de-la-tolerancia-del-castillo-de-san-jorge ) explore the city’s industrial and religious history.

Travel Guide

  • # 9 in Best Cheap European Vacations for 2023-2024

The passion of a flamenco  dancer, the dedication of a bullfighting matador and the laid-back indulgence of an afternoon siesta are not merely romanticized memories of a long-ago Spain. These cultural traditions are prominent aspects of life in Seville and throughout the country's southernmost Andalusia region. A city marked by Jewish, Islamic and Christian influences, Seville shows evidence of each religion's presence in its church facades, minarets and centuries-old neighborhoods. Travelers who appreciate a good dose of history between leisurely strolls along narrow streets and relaxed, drawn-out meals will swoon over Seville's cultural offerings.

“Behind its unassuming exterior are possibly the loveliest and quietest bedrooms on the Triana side of Seville, with a whiff of Art Deco design in its chevron-patterned black and white stone floors.

About Seville

As the largest city in Southern Spain, Seville boasts an intriguing history, fascinating culture, magnificent architecture, and plenty of things to do. Located in Andalusia, the southernmost autonomous community in Spain, the Seville area has a population of about 1.7 million. This city is rumored to have been built by Hercules himself, and with plenty of ornate Moorish castles and cobblestoned medieval streets, it might seem believable.

Seville dates back nearly 2,200 years ago. Over the years, numerous civilizations have called this city their home, including Iberians, Romans, Moors, and Christians. According to historians, the Seville area was settled during the Bronze Age. The Romans initially founded Seville as ‘Hisplais,’ thriving under their rule. Several monuments survive from this period, including the city’s aqueduct.

In the early 8th century, the Moors brought a massive army to the city, and it eventually fell under their control. They ruled for the next few hundred years, rebranding the city under the name ‘Isbiliya,’ and erecting several architectural masterpieces, including the Alcazar Palace.

In 1248, Fernando III of Castille took over the city, claiming Christian rule. Seville thrived well into the 16th and 17th centuries, becoming the most important European port as the Spanish departed to explore the Americas. It continued to grow until the 20th century, when unfortunately, the Spanish Civil War caused thousands of deaths.

At the end of the 20th century, prosperity returned to Seville. Today, Seville is the most sophisticated city in Andalusia, attracting many tourists who come to see its architectural gems, Flamenco performances, and vibrant festivals. Two of Seville’s most notable festivals, Feria de Abril and Semana Santa, happen two weeks apart in April. Feria de Abril is known for filling the streets with music, dancing, drinking, and singing, while Semana Santa is a more serious holy celebration.

As one of the sunniest European cities, there is never a wrong time to visit Seville. The weather is generally warm, creating the perfect atmosphere for sightseeing. There are three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Seville. Most notable is the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, one of the most magnificent structures in Spain. Located in the center of the city, this structure began as a Moorish mosque, but over the years, it has gained Baroque, Renaissance, and Neo-Gothic influences. The Alcazar, the second UNESCO site, is one of Spain’s best-known castles, and is attached to the cathedral. The last site is the Archivo de Indias, built in 1585. This structure houses a vast collection of documents on the exploration of the New World.

One thing that makes Seville unique is the blend of different religious and geographic cultures throughout the city, including Jewish, Moorish, Gypsy, and Arabic influences. You can even taste some of the North African flavors in the cuisine, including gazpacho, honey-sweetened pastries, dates, and almonds.

Vibrant diversity, intriguing history, and an exhilarating culture make Seville anything but boring. From the cuisine and weather to the architecture and history, Seville is a shining star in every category.
