10 Best Things to Do in Seville, Seville, Spain

Welcome back to The Velvet Runway and our updated guide* to the ten best things to do in Seville. Seville, the jewel of Andalusia, captivates visitors with its rich history, vibrant culture, and enchanting charm. Whether wandering through historic neighborhoods, indulging in delectable cuisine, or immersing yourself in the mesmerizing local traditions, Seville offers a myriad of experiences.

Andalusia’s capital is steeped in history with its ancient Moorish walls, Roman ruins, Renaissance architecture, Baroque churches and the world’s largest Gothic cathedral. It’s renowned for its gypsy heroine, Carmen, the magic of flamenco and the sultry orange-tree filled plazas. After dusk head up to one of the rooftop bars, the Plaza d’España or the Metropol Parasol to catch a glimpse of the setting sun.

Visit in the Spring when the air is heavy with the scent of orange and lemon blossom, and the warm weather is just arriving. I was so inspired by the tiled patios and the scented courtyards that I bought 2 lemon trees when I came home, and I’m currently redesigning my own courtyard to include some ceramic tiles!
