1. Plaza de Espa\u00f1a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Built by An\u00edbal Gonz\u00e1lez for the Ibero-American Exposition in 1929<\/a>, Plaza de Espa\u00f1a is an incredible example of regional architecture, mixing Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival styles. From sweeping panoramic views of the entire plaza to artistic close-ups of the Neo-Mud\u00e9jar tiles lining the bridges and alcoves, Plaza de Espa\u00f1a is a must for any Instagram feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood loves it, too\u2014the plaza has appeared in many movies, including \u201cLawrence of Arabia\u201d and \u201cStar Wars: Attack of the Clones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip: <\/strong>Plaza de Espa\u00f1a is open 24 hours. Consider avoiding the crowds and vendors by going first thing in the morning if you want the perfect shot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Patio de Banderas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although at first glance it might seem like a strange choice, don\u2019t count the Patio de Banderas<\/a> out just yet. It has a secret corner with a vantage point of the cathedral unlike anywhere else in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This patio, which is now the exit of the Royal Alc\u00e1zar, was originally built in the 10th century by the Muslim king Abderram\u00e1n III as a palace. Later, King Felipe V used it as an armory. However, it is the door leading out towards the cathedral that has the jaw-dropping views really worth stopping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Guadalquivir riverfront<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seville\u2019s river might not be perfect for swimming, but it is the perfect backdrop for a morning or evening walk. While you\u2019re at it, you can get some gorgeous shots of the colorful houses of Calle Betis across the water, the intricate Isabel II bridge, and the impressive Torre de Oro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On weekend afternoons in spring, you\u2019ll find the riverside packed with students, families, and friends having a picnic and enjoying the atmosphere. Our advice: grab a couple of refreshments from a kiosk and join in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Calle Agua<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite streets in the Santa Cruz neighborhood<\/a> is Calle Agua<\/a>. One side is lined by the walls of the Royal Alc\u00e1zar. During spring and summer, the fuchsia bougainvilleas hanging above the street form a makeshift tunnel perfect for that romantic shot you\u2019ve been searching for.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip: <\/strong>Follow Calle Agua down until it meets Calle Antonio el Balar\u00edn, the street that leads to the Murillo Gardens. On that corner you\u2019ll find another gem: \u201cRosina\u2019s Balcony<\/a>\u201d from the famous opera \u201cThe Barber of Seville.\u201d Legend has it that this is the balcony that Figaro told Count Almaviva to climb and get back his love, Rosina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Parque Mar\u00eda Luisa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of Seville\u2019s largest green spaces is Mar\u00eda Luisa Park<\/a>, right beside Plaza de Espa\u00f1a. Here you\u2019ll find all kinds of lush backdrops as well as picture-perfect colorful tiles. And don\u2019t miss the tucked-away Mud\u00e9jar Pavilion<\/a>, another An\u00edbal Gonz\u00e1lez creation, which doesn\u2019t get the credit or attention it deserves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Calle Betis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it may be a well-known place for students to have a drink on a Friday night, Calle Betis<\/a> is also incredibly photogenic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get close-ups of colorful houses, snap some shots of the rowers on the Guadalquiv\u00edr, and see the Torre de Oro from a whole new perspective. While you\u2019re there, be sure to explore one of Seville\u2019s most beautiful neighborhoods and enjoy some of our favorite food in Triana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s Tip: <\/strong>Check out the bar El Embarcadero<\/a> for front row seats on the river as you sip your G&T while watching the sunset!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Real Alc\u00e1zar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This sprawling royal palace<\/a> and its gardens were built by the Christians on top of an existing Moorish fortress. Today, it\u2019s still used for the Spanish royal family, should they choose to stay there during their trips to Seville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a spectacle of Mud\u00e9jar architecture and breathtaking at every turn. Here are a few of our favorite corners for photo ops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
