Winter Terraces in Seville
Fortunately in Seville, it’s often warm enough in the afternoon to have a drink in the winter sun without a heater nearby.
However, many terraces are only open during spring and summer, so figuring out where to go can be a little tricky. That’s why we’ve assembled this list of the best 5 winter terraces in Seville!
Planning a winter trip to Seville soon? Here’s what winter is like in Seville so you can pack for the right weather.
Doña Maria
It’s no secret that we are long-standing fans of the rooftop bar at Hotel Doña Maria. The views are stunning, the drinks are moderately priced, and best of all, they have heaters and blankets to keep you warm in the winter months!
While other rooftop terrace bars close during winter, this one stays open all year round. It’s also one of the oldest rooftop bars in Seville, so we truly believe this one is not to be missed.
Address: Calle Don Remondo, 19, 41004
Terraza XIII
Terraza XIII is a showstopping terrace that’s located inside the Hotel Alfonso XIII. It’s a little on the pricey side, but we really like this spot to just sit and have a coffee or a cocktail! The atmosphere is pretty relaxed despite the luxurious surroundings.
It’s also very near to the Seville Cathedral, so we think it’s worth a visit, even if you just stay for one drink!
Address: Calle San Fernando, 2, 41004
Mercado Lonja del Barranco
We love the terrace and the food at Mercado Lonja del Barranco, so this place is a dream come true! After you spend some time picking out your favorite dishes from the market, head outside to the patio and dig in. You may even want to stay for a drink or two afterward…

Address: Calle Arjona, S / N, 41001
Bar Chile
Another bar we had to include is Bar Chile. They transform their impressive summer terrace into a cozy winter one! The temporarily enclosed space provides all the joys of an outdoor terrace with the added bonus of being much warmer. What’s not to like?
Address: Paseo de las Delicias s/n, 41001
Patio de la Alameda
The conversion of a 19th Century mansion into the unique Patio de la Alameda hotel also brought with it one of our favorite winter terraces in Seville: the Chill Out Terrace. Overlooking the iconic Alameda square you get to relax on the terrace, drink in hand, surveying your surroundings all year round.
The upstairs terrace is especially good for a view at sundown, as the sun sets beautifully behind the sea of buildings you’ll see across the square.
Address: Alameda de Hércules, 56

Winter Terraces in Seville FAQs
What is a “winter terrace” in Seville?
A winter terrace is an outdoor or rooftop bar that stays open during the colder months and provides amenities like blankets, heaters, or cozy enclosures so you can enjoy fresh air even in winter.
When is the best time of day to visit a Seville winter terrace?
Late afternoon into early evening is ideal; this is when the sun still warms the terraces and the city lights begin to glow. Many spots remain comfortable even without full sunshine thanks to heaters and enclosures.
How can I tell if a terrace will be open in winter?
Look for mentions of “open year-round,” “heaters and blankets,” or “enclosed terrace” when checking terrace listings. For example, the rooftop at Hotel Doña María advertises this for winter visitors.
Are winter terrace bars in Seville as lively as summer ones?
Yes, many locals still gather outside in winter, especially when terraces have good heating and sun exposure. Locals live outside even during the colder months, so a well-equipped winter terrace can be very busy.
What should I wear or expect weather-wise when heading to a winter terrace?
Even though Seville has mild winters compared to many places, evenings can be cool and breezy. It’s wise to bring a light jacket or scarf even if the terrace has blankets, and choose a spot with sun access or heaters for maximum comfort.
