Our tips for Seville

Advance Monument Bookings: Reserve dated tickets for major museums and heritage sites weeks ahead to secure preferred entry windows.
Sacred Site Dress Codes: When visiting cathedrals, temples, or historic basilicas, ensure shoulders and knees are covered.
Weekly Museum Closures: Check opening days in advance, as many state and municipal museums close on Mondays or Tuesdays.
Local Dining Etiquette: Explore side streets away from main monument plazas for authentic local cuisine and reasonable prices.

Good to know

Bathed in golden Andalusian sunshine and scented with orange blossoms, Seville is at its absolute peak during the spring months of March through May. During this golden window, temperatures are wonderfully pleasant and the city comes alive with the dramatic processions of Semana Santa (Holy Week) and the vibrant, colorful Feria de Abril. High summer (July and August) brings blistering heat exceeding 40°C, requiring morning visits to the Royal Alcazar at opening time before retreating indoors, followed by late-night tapas in Santa Cruz. Autumn (October to November) offers warm sunny days and pleasant evening breezes, while winter remains mild and bright.
