Sevilla Sights

While any visit to Sevilla should include the Catedral and Alcázar, there is much more to the city than Santa Cruz. Around these central icons are winding streets full of tapas joints, artesanía, and quirky finds. The Plaza de Toros is nestled on the riverbank to the east and serves as an ideal place to begin a scenic tour along the Guadalquivir. North of Santa Cruz, the bustling Centro, home to some of the city’s finest museums, contrasts with the peaceful churches of La Macarena. Heading south toward the Torre del Oro, garden oases offer a breezy respite from the summer heat. There, the private gardens behind the Alcázar are flanked by the public Jardines de Murillo, near to the monumental Plaza de España and beautiful Parque de María Luisa.
