This blog post was originally posted on June 12, 2015, and was updated on April 25, 2017.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn a vibrant city like Seville that has so much history, so much to do, and so many things to eat, where are you supposed to start?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We appreciate that planning a trip to any city takes time and effort. The list of things worth experiencing in Seville<\/a> is endless, so to make life easier we have compiled an ultimate list of our top 10 things to do in Seville<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo credit: Franek N<\/a>, Text overlay: Devour Spain<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n No trip to Seville is complete without paying a visit to Seville’s Alcazar<\/a>, one of the “big three” Moorish monuments that visitors flock to Andalusia to visit. But while the Mezquita in Cordoba<\/a> largely retains its original Moorish form, and parts of Granada’s Alhambra<\/a> were little more than rubble before restoration, the Alcazar in Seville has been continuously used and developed over time, with building continuing until the 19th century. It’s also where they’ve filmed key parts of Game of Thrones– cool, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today the Alcazar is the oldest Royal residence still in use in Europe and providing that you go on a day when the King isn’t in town, you can visit the upper levels – the apartment used to this day by the Royal family – for an extra cost of \u20ac4.50. There can be long queues<\/a>, so booking in advance is recommended!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you are looking for some traditional tapas<\/a> or something more modern and experimental<\/a>, Seville is the place to be. The tapas culture in Seville is one of the strongest and most celebrated in the country, and with over 3,000 bars to choose from you will never be short of a bite to eat<\/a>. Don’t be afraid of the crowded bars — squeeze in, stand at the bar, and order dish by dish rather than lots of dishes at once, in order to have a truly local experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a tapas tour in Seville!<\/strong> If there is one local tour to take, it’s a tapas tour. In a city with over 3,000 tapas bars, you do not want to choose the wrong ones! Here are some options for having the best tapas experience in town:<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our personal favorites is the large building that takes over one side of Parque Maria Luisa, one of the most popular parks in Seville<\/a>. Originally built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition, Plaza de Espa\u00f1a now houses council offices, but it’s not the inside that you come to see. The exterior of this building which is spread over 50,000 square meters is magnificent and deserves a good amount of time to walk around to see the alcoves, each representing one of the 48 provinces in Spain and decorated with colorful tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A trip to Seville wouldn’t be a trip to Seville without a good dose of flamenco<\/a>. Seville’s flamenco options range from venues offering a show and dinner at a fixed price, to bars crammed with people<\/a> hoping to catch an up close and personal show in the most local way possible. A flamenco show truly captures the passion that is the essence of life in Seville and is a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture for a night. Why not check out a traditional professional show<\/a> then head to a local bar afterward and see the best of both worlds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t miss it:<\/strong> Join our Seville Tapas & Flamenco Tour<\/a> to not only see an incredible show but to also learn about this wonderful Spanish art. And of course, we’ll feed you the best tapas in town (as usual!). Also, check out how to pick out an authentic show with this video from our expert guide, Sara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
