Day One
10:30am – Go on a walking tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best way to get orientated in a new city is to get shown around by a local, as getting a feel for the city is essential to making the most out of your limited time in place. There are several different walking tours in Seville, even some very unique ones<\/a> with themes ranging from rooftops, to legends, and of course, food<\/a>, so no matter what your interests are, there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2:30pm – See the Cathedral and Plaza de Espa\u00f1a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seville has some “not to miss” monuments<\/a>, and the Cathedral is up there at the top of the list. The 13th-century gothic Cathedral is the third largest Church in the world — just walking around the outside will give you a feel for how big it really is. After you are done in the Cathedral, it is worth walking over to the stunning Parque Maria Luisa<\/a> to check out Plaza de Espa\u00f1a, one of the pavilions built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition that was held in Seville. This building is nothing short of impressive, and it is perhaps one of our favorite buildings in the whole of Spain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6pm – Evening drink on the roof top of Hotel Do\u00f1a Maria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a busy afternoon, so reward yourself with a drink — and even better, one with a view! Seville has several roof top bars around the city, but the bar at the Hotel Do\u00f1a Maria<\/a> (Calle Don Remondo, 19)<\/em> is the oldest roof terrace bar <\/a>in Seville. Not only that, it has amazing views — possibly one of the best views of the Cathedral that you can get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.30pm – See a flamenco show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seville wouldn’t be Seville without experiencing flamenco, and there are flamenco shows on around the city<\/a> on any given night of the week. A really great option is the nightly show at Casa del Flamenco<\/a> (Calle Xim\u00e9nez de Enciso, 28)<\/em>, a venue committed to preserving the Andalusian arts. The intimate show happens twice every evening, and space is limited, so it is a good idea to book in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
