Who wants to waste valuable sightseeing (and eating!) time stuck in a queue?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most visitors come to Seville with the aim of seeing two main monuments<\/a> – the Seville Cathedral and the Royal Alcazar Palace. Any other smaller museums<\/a> and monuments are a bonus. But there is one big problem, especially in hot weather<\/a> – the queues! Queuing for an hour in 40-degree temperatures is no one’s idea of a good time, so here are some tips on how to beat the lines in Seville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seville Cathedral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The good news is there is a way to beat the lines at Seville’s Cathedral<\/a>, a little loophole in the system, and one that works. When you buy the ticket to Seville’s Cathedral, the ticket is a combined ticket for both the Cathedral and the Church of El Salvador, Seville’s second largest church which is also worth a look<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is, while beautiful in its own right, the Church of El Salvador is a lot less popular. This means you can visit the Church of El Salvador first, purchase your ticket as a combined ticket for both monuments (make sure you specify you want the combined ticket, as entrance to just the Church is cheaper), then head over to the Cathedral and stroll past the long entrance queue straight to the door with your already purchased ticket. Not a bad trick at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
