Best Things to do in Seville (2026)

Seville rewards slow exploring as much as sightseeing. The best way to start is simply to walk: the lanes and small squares of the Barrio de Santa Cruz, the former Jewish quarter beside the Alcázar, are at their most atmospheric early in the morning or in the evening, when the tour groups have gone. Across the river, the Mercado de Triana is a working food market in the mornings and a place for tapas and drinks later on, and it leads into Triana's streets of ceramics workshops and bars.

Flamenco is part of everyday culture here, and seeing it live is one of the highlights of any visit. Casa de la Memoria offers an intimate nightly show focused on the music and dance, while the Museo del Baile Flamenco, founded by the dancer Cristina Hoyos, explains the art form before you watch a performance in its vaulted space. Book both in advance, as they often sell out in spring. For a complete change of pace, Aire Ancient Baths in Santa Cruz offers a candlelit thermal circuit that stays open until midnight, a good way to end a hot day. Plan outdoor activities for the morning and evening in summer, and leave the middle of the day for indoor visits or a siesta.
