    FAQs

    1. What is the best time to visit Seville with few tourists?

    Because Seville is a very tourist city and throughout the year it is always full of people, it is very difficult that you can do sightseeing without this being an obstacle.

    The most recommended time is in winter, where at least the number of tourists can decrease significantly

    2. What is the best and the worst season for visiting Seville?

    The best season to visit Seville is during the spring, when precipitations are low and the temperature (like in Cordoba) still reaches 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit) on average, but with some days reaching over 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) during the month of May

    The worst weather in Seville is during the months of June, July and August, where the heat both during the day and night can be unbearable. With extreme heat waves that can reach up to 41 degrees Celsius (105 Fahrenheit)

    3. Are there any specific dress codes for visiting religious sites in Seville?

    While there is no strict dress code, it is advisable to dress modestly when visiting religious sites such as cathedrals or churches out of respect for their significance.

    4. Is it necessary to book tickets in advance for popular attractions in Seville?

    During the peak season, which is usually in May and June, we recommend to book tickets online in advance for some tourist attractions like the Real Alcazar of Seville, Giralda Tower, Sevilla Cathedral, Real Maestranza de Caballería and The Golden Tower.

    5. Are there any famous landmarks or attractions near Seville worth visiting?

    Yes, within a short distance from the city of Seville, you can explore iconic landmarks like: Santiponce, where the Roman city of Italica used to stand; Parque Natural Sierra de Grazalema and Carmona, a beautiful small traditional village located 28 km (17 Miles) from Seville.

    6. How can I get around the city easily?

    Seville has an amazing public transportation system with good tram and subway connections, but we recommend walking within the city, since all major tourist sites are not far from each other.
