From the best ice cream in the city to the perfect hotel to our favorite place to enjoy some delicious coffee, check out our list of what we at Devour Tours consider the best things to do in Seville– whether it’s doing, eating, seeing or drinking– and make your trip to the city that bit extra special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Attraction in Seville – Plaza de Espa\u00f1a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is no doubt that Seville is full of must-see monuments and buildings<\/a>, The Cathedral and the Alc\u00e1zar Palace among them. However, strolling through Parque Maria Luisa<\/a> and taking in the breathtaking Plaza de Espa\u00f1a is definitely one of the best things to do in Seville. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Expo in the city, this show-stopping pavilion tells the story of the history of Spain through its unique and detailed tile work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you decide to stroll around the iconic monument in the daytime or at night, the gates are always open and the view is always spectacular! You may even recognize the building as it has been the backdrop for some huge blockbuster movies, such as Star Wars Episode II!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Place For Tapas in Seville – La Chal\u00e1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As dedicated foodies, one of the best things to do in Seville for us is explore the variety found in the 3,000 tapas bars in the city. From traditional taverns to modern restaurants<\/a>, there really is something for everyone, but, after much debate, we settled on La Chal\u00e1 as the best of them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This restaurant effortlessly combines aspects of Latin American and Asian cuisine with delicious, traditional Spanish dishes and the results are spectacular! Make sure not to miss their bacalao <\/em>combined with orange and the Moroccan-inspired chicken pastry– you’ll be left wanting more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Square in Seville – Plaza del Salvador<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s nothing better than settling down in a beautiful square in Seville, a drink in hand.<\/a> When we want to enjoy a tinto de verano<\/em> or cruzcampo<\/em> in the open air, we head to Plaza del Salvador<\/em>. Located at the foot of one of the most beautiful churches in Seville<\/a>, Iglesia del Salvador, this square is jam-packed with locals enjoying a post-work drink nearly every night of the week. Soaking up this local atmosphere is easily one of the best things to do in Seville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a more secluded, tranquil square is what you’re looking for, head to Plaza del Cabildo<\/em>, a beautifully decorated plaza just off the city’s main street, Avenida de la Constituci\u00f3n. With a trickling fountain and beautiful arches, this square is also home to one of the only remaining pieces of the original wall of the city of Seville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Dish in Seville – Duck Rice at Contenedor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps even more difficult than choosing the best restaurant in Seville was choosing the best dish in the city. From the award-winning ‘cigar’ at Eslava<\/a> (Calle Eslava, 3<\/em>) to the grilled pork shoulder at La Brunilda<\/a> (Calle Galera, 5<\/em>), there are stand-out plates of food found around every corner, but the duck rice at Contenedor<\/a> has to be our favorite dish in Seville. This restaurant specializes in slow cooking and is the perfect place for a sit-down meal<\/a> in the city and while the menu is updated on a regular basis, their stunning dish of crispy duck on a bed of exquisitely prepared rice is a deserved constant– we’re getting hungry just thinking about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address: <\/strong>Calle San Luis, 50<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Museum in Seville – El Museo de Bellas Artes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Home to breathtaking art from Sevillian art icons such as Velazqu\u00e9z, Zurbur\u00e1n, and Murillo, the Fine Arts Museum<\/a> is an absolute must for all art fanatics in the city. El Museo de Bellas Artes is known to many as the unofficial second most important art gallery in Spain. The 17th-century building that houses the museum was originally a convent and is almost as stunning as the paintings themselves. Make sure to look upwards when you go in to take in the spectacular ceiling of the museum. Also, if you visit on Sundays, you’ll see an eclectic mix of local art for sale in the square outside. For your fill of culture, exploring this part of the city is one of the best things to do in Seville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
