Seville

The best times to visit Seville are during the spring (April-May) and fall (September-October). The weather is pleasant, with warm temperatures and fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months. The Seville Fair (Feria de Abril) in April is a major cultural event, but it also means higher prices and more tourists.

Some of the top attractions in Seville include the Real Alcázar of Seville (royal palace), Seville Cathedral and Giralda Tower, Plaza de España, and the charming Santa Cruz neighborhood. Consider visiting the Metropol Parasol (Las Setas) for panoramic city views and exploring the Triana neighborhood for a more local experience.

Seville has a relaxed pace of life. Siesta is observed, so many shops and businesses close in the afternoon. Tapas culture is very important; it's common to go from bar to bar, enjoying small plates and drinks. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases will enhance your experience.

Seville has a good public transportation system, including buses and a metro. Walking is a great way to explore the historic center. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available. Consider renting a bike to explore the city at your own pace, especially along the Guadalquivir River.

You must try tapas! Popular options include gazpacho (cold tomato soup), salmorejo (similar to gazpacho but thicker), jamón ibérico (cured ham), and pescaíto frito (fried fish). Enjoy a traditional meal at a local restaurant, and don't miss the opportunity to try local wines and sherry.
