The military museum on the plaza is something almost everybody miss
I studied in Sevilla in the Fall of 2007 at La Universidad de Sevilla (in the program for American exchange students). What memories this brings back! I had to Google where Las Setas is because it didn't even exist back then. I remember taking the B2 line there once, and it was just a square-shaped street that the buses went around. I also remember the opening day of the Tranvia in October of that year. (I think it even derailed on its 2nd day of service near the Archivo de Indias.)
You're right – don't fall for the gypsies' tricks! As another student warned me, "One of them will tell you your fortune while the other one will rob you blind."
The only places open on Sundays were a few cafes on the plazas, but other than that even El Corte Ingles was closed.
Great video thank you. I'm due to be going in just over a week's time, and I've never been to Spain – so these are all very useful tips. 👍😊
thanks for the tip on booking in advance, ill be there in a week, did not think of booking to the cathedral or palace, sold out on the main site but found a guide with 4 tickets left, so yea, lucky me for finding you! very nice tips all over, good video
My birthday is in January so I'll definitely come to Sevilla in January 2025. Hoping there won't be too many tourists at that time.
Hola .Estas operado del corazón ?tienes un baypsss … ? .creo
First rule, don´t go in summer
We're about to go on our trip to Espania so its like youtube read my mind and showed this video on my feed.
Eat and drink with all of the Sevillanos. Avoid tourist heavy areas – they will gouge you on prices. Have fun.
Seville is good for a day trip. DO NOT DO A RIVER CRUISE! Waste of money. It’s not even river. There’s no inlet or outlet. DO go in the spring when the oranges are fruiting. Extremely pretty
The heat is unbearable in summer. Don’t forget to take a nap in the middle of the day.
Be so so careful with the heat. Especially in August. I have seen 6 people with sunstroke in the last 3 days, tourists don't always comprehend just how dangerous the sun can be.
Stay hydrated, seek the shade, and use sun cream. Especially between 2pm and 8pm – the siesta exists for a reason
Definitely cross the river for much nicer and more interesting restaurants, as well as the more authentic Seville
Plaza de Espana blew me away. Simply the most impressive building I have ever visited. Viva Sevilla!!!!
I'm from Sevilla and I've liked your post a lot, as it covers some locations as the Archivo de Indias which are usually forgotten for many tourists.
I'm sure you know it but please don't call siesta time the break the stores do between 2 and maybe 5. That's the time for the workers to go home and have lunch, and probably take care of their family. Some days we have time to get a little nap, but that's not usual anymore.
Lived there for a year, spring is the best time to visit . Easter time huge festival le feria . Vist Santo Ponce, Cordoba . Not many tourists in the winter so is the best time. Plenty of hotels on the outskirts of Seville if you're looking for a budget break. With plenty of buses and trains into the City. The locals use the cafes and restaurants on the opposite of the river from the cathedral. The food is more reasonable priced and more authentic. Find a nice wine bar the wine is to die for local wine.
If you're struggling with flights into Seville you can fly into Madrid and catch 200mph express train to Seville 2.5 hours nice experience clean modern trains buffet and Aircon. Your a 2 hr drive from Gibraltar and another 1/2 hr your into some the best deserted beaches in Europe.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful info. What is the music you underscore it with?
Hack to avoid the heat at Seville at August ; walk along Prado de San Sebastián, put your hand up and wait. When a taxi is settled in front of you give this adress "aeropuerto de San Pablo". Once you arrive at that address, buy a plane ticket, the first one that leaves to Coruña, Santiago de Compostela, Vigo or Asturias. Stay for the entire month of August in any of these destinations that you have chosen randomly. Once September 1 arrives, take your plane back to Seville. Go ahead, you can start your visit to Seville without worrying about looking at the thermometer.
Minor correction – much of the sherry wine is not sweet but rather very dry, including manzanilla and fino, which is typically what goes into rebujitos
Went there in May & loved it! Weather was perfect, sights were amazing, & I agree with all of your tips! I suggest getting a City Sightseeing bus ticket to see more of the city, & to easily get to more places than just the old town center. Worth it!
All of Sevilla es lindisima 👏
Seville seems like a bad place to visit during the summer due to the heat and possible over-tourism.
I agree!
Lots of people saying October is best, I’m here now in October, with pouring rain and a chilly 17°, so be aware great weather isn’t guaranteed.
Great video, I would add to your list, don't bring luggage with small/tiny wheels, almost all sidewalks have this beautiful heactagon shape patern that will destroy your luggage wheels.
I will go there next January 🙂 …no heat expected.
