Seville, the capital of Spainâs Andalusia region, doesnât hold back when it comes to history, culture and top-class sightseeing. However, with so much to see and do, it can sometimes be tricky figuring out what to see when. This tour doesnât have that problem. Youâll visit a round-up of the cityâs key landmarks with a guide. And, thereâs even some downtime included at a rooftop terrace. Paula, one of our expert local guides, says âthis tour is designed to give you a proper feel for Seville. Youâll pair visits to UNESCO sites and the cathedral with a chance to sample some of the cityâs favourite flavours.â
Youâll meet your guide outside a coffee shop near Seville Cathedral, which handily serves as your first landmark, as well. Youâll truly be able to understand this placeâs scale when youâre standing in the shadows of its huge Gothic exterior. In fact, this place holds the record as the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. Your guide will tell you a bit about its history, before taking you on a walking tour through Seville. As you make your way through the streets and hear about what makes Seville special, youâll stop for photos outside the Royal Alcazar of Seville â this palace has bagged UNESCOâs seal of approval.
Your last major landmark is the General Archive of the Indies, a 200-year-old library thatâs loaded with over 80 million pages of documents, maps and books. Just like Seville Cathedral, UNESCO has given this place the thumbs up and marked it as a World Heritage Site. You wonât go inside the Renaissance-style building, but your guide will tell you all about it from the outside. From here, youâll head to a rooftop terrace, where youâll round off the end of your tour with a drink.
