Seville, the capital of Spain’s Andalusia region, doesn’t hold back when it comes to history, culture and top-class sightseeing. However, with so much to see and do, it can sometimes be tricky figuring out what to see when. This tour doesn’t have that problem. You’ll visit a round-up of the city’s key landmarks with a guide. And, there’s even some downtime included at a rooftop terrace. Paula, one of our expert local guides, says “this tour is designed to give you a proper feel for Seville. You’ll pair visits to UNESCO sites and the cathedral with a chance to sample some of the city’s favourite views.”
You’ll meet your guide outside a coffee shop near Seville Cathedral, which handily serves as your first landmark, as well. You’ll truly be able to understand this place’s scale when you’re standing in the shadows of its huge Gothic exterior. In fact, this place holds the record as the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. Your guide will tell you a bit about its history, before taking you on a walking tour through Seville. As you make your way through the streets and hear about what makes Seville special, you’ll stop for photos outside the Royal Alcazar of Seville – this palace has bagged UNESCO’s seal of approval.
Your last major landmark is the General Archive of the Indies, a 200-year-old library that’s loaded with over 80 million pages of documents, maps and books. Just like Seville Cathedral, UNESCO has given this place the thumbs up and marked it as a World Heritage Site. You won’t go inside the Renaissance-style building, but your guide will tell you all about it from the outside. From here, you’ll head to a rooftop terrace, where you’ll round off the end of your tour with a drink.
