Seville
Bathed in sunlight year-round, Seville has a charismatic and upbeat vibe. The mix of Roman, Moorish and Colonial influences have sculpted Seville's reputation as a cultural cornucopia. Tangled alleyways, labyrinths, exquisite cathedrals, and animated tapas bars line the Guadalquivir river, which winds its way through the Andalusian capital.Find your trip
Seville Cathedral is the third-largest cathedral in Europe. Originally built as a mosque in the 12th-century, the 100-metre- high minaret is now the Giralda clock tower. Christopher Columbus is buried inside the cathedral.
Take a stroll over to the colossal Plaza de España when you're in Seville. Nestled within the beautiful Maria Luisa Park, this architectural marvel was crafted for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. The building presents a stunning fusion of styles — think Renaissance revival with a local twist — we're talking exposed brick and ceramics. This plaza isn't just about the building. It also embraces a 515-meter-long canal encircling the square. Fancy a bit of romance? Hop on a boat and take in the beauty of the place from a whole new perspective. Just imagine — you, the water, and an architectural marvel providing the backdrop. Quite irresistible.
Experience the true, captivating soul of Seville. The singing, dancing and flamenco guitar shows at Los Gallos have entertained guests since 1966, and is the most popular flamenco show in town.

During Easter Week, Seville is transformed into a photographer’s paradise. Processions with the Virgin Mary and Jesus, the Nazarenos asking for penance, and colourful orchestras fill the city with vibrant life.

Pop into the Museo de Bellas Artes, a hidden gem in a former convent. Home to Spanish art masterpieces from the medieval period to the 20th century, it's a testament to the country's rich artistic heritage. Marvel at works from great masters like Goya, Murillo, Ribera and Millian, and delve into dynamic modern art exhibitions. It's a cultural pit stop you can't miss in Seville.
