Passport / Visa

The best time to visit Seville is either spring or fall, when days are sunny and temperatures are mild. The city's biggest events, Semana Santa and Feria de Abril, take place in the springtime, usually at the end of March or during April. Bear in mind that Seville can get really crowded and prices are generally higher during these weeks. Sevillan summers are some of the warmest in all of Europe and the heat could become unbearable, so try to avoid this period of the year.

Bathed in sunlight year-round, Seville has a charismatic and upbeat vibe. The mix of Roman, Moorish and Colonial influences have sculpted Seville's reputation as a cultural cornucopia. Tangled alleyways, labyrinths, exquisite cathedrals, and animated tapas bars line the Guadalquivir river, which winds its way through the Andalusian capital.

Seville Cathedral is the third-largest cathedral in Europe. Originally built as a mosque in the 12th-century, the 100-metre- high minaret is now the Giralda clock tower. Christopher Columbus is buried inside the cathedral.

Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See

Take a stroll over to the colossal Plaza de España when you're in Seville. Nestled within the beautiful Maria Luisa Park, this architectural marvel was crafted for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. The building presents a stunning fusion of styles — think Renaissance revival with a local twist — we're talking exposed brick and ceramics.

This plaza isn't just about the building. It also embraces a 515-meter-long canal encircling the square. Fancy a bit of romance? Hop on a boat and take in the beauty of the place from a whole new perspective. Just imagine — you, the water, and an architectural marvel providing the backdrop. Quite irresistible.

When visiting the Basílica de la Macarena, you will see one of the dearest treasures of Seville, the statue of la Virgen de la Esperanza (the Virgin of Hope), known as la Macarena, the same name as the quarter where the church is located. The statue is a 17th-century wooden sculpture of Christ's mother mourning his death, covered in tears. It is a modern church in the Neo-Baroque style, built between 1936 and 1941 by architect Gómez Millán.
