Best time to visit Seville, Spain
The first step in having the most incredible vacation possible is to check the weather forecast and the ideal time to visit Seville ahead of time. Please do not skip it if you want to visit Seville soon. You may select the most acceptable time of year to visit Seville based on the type of experience you are looking for.
The most popular time to visit Seville is undoubtedly Holy Week, known locally as Semana Santa. Then there’s the Feria de Abril in April, followed by May and June. Seville is simply too hot after this time of year to spend more than two days wandering the streets.
Winter in Seville is peaceful, making it an ideal time of the year to promote unhurried travel. We adore certain times of the year, and Seville is excellent. The Spanish province of Andalusia is widely renowned for its 300 days of sunshine, which results in a low number of wet days on average. If you dislike crowds and famous places, visiting Seville in winter is the ideal option to avoid huge lines and long waits to view the sights.

Most instagrammable places in Seville
Plaza de España
After the Cathedral, Plaza de España is one of the most beautiful structures in Seville, and during your visit, you must have to go there.
This photo I think was the most amazing one made by us, we think it is even better than the one we did for our post on Instagrammable Lisbon, Instagrammable Malaga, the best photo spots in Paris, and Instagrammable Rome.
We have spent raffle half an hour organizing it and making sure there was no one passing by the camera. It was taken at a really busy time, but we were waiting for the perfect light. Some bad shot, too late, too slow or too fast, but we did it and the photo looks literally amazing!
It’s normal when you want to have a nice pic you have to sweat a bit, it was really warm, over 25 degrees for sure. In Plaza de Espana everywhere is amazing to take a picture, especially if you want to remember your Instagrammable Seville.
Once you will reach this place you will find around this huge square a small river, here you can rent a boat and be a bit romantic with your partner. More than romantic it will be fun, I don’t think everyone can row.
Plaza de España must be one of the best things to do in Seville as it is an incredible piazza, full of energy, magic and colours.
Real Alcazaba | The Moorish Royal Palace
All our friends were suggesting us to go and see the “Alhambra” in Granada, but unfortunately, there were no tickets available. We decided to enjoy instead of the Real Alcazaba of Seville.
The Real Alcazaba of Seville is unique and needs to be on your top list of Instagrammable places in Seville.
You must visit this place, and you won’t regret it.
The two incredible landmarks of Spain feature similar details, mainly coming from the melting pot of culture and primarily Arabic influence. The Alhambra is a Unesco World Heritage site, and it is also the most famous and touristic.
We suggest booking the ticket in advance like us, to avoid a long and tedious queue. The queue can last you for hours outside the gates, and Seville gets hotter since May.
TIPS: Booking online you will get a discount compared to buying the ticket at the counter. The entrance is not expensive, only 9 euro and 50 cents per person. Access free for Under 16 years old and 2 euro ticket for students between 17 and 25.
Find your perfect tour
Plaza de Toros
Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to get into the ring as the tour ran at a specific time. However, even though, you can still peek and admire the feature of the bull ring.
All that said don’t be like us and book your tour in advance. It is cruel to kill animals just for fun, and we are all against it.
However, the tour will take you to see part of the history of Spain and its traditions, and you should know that the animal movement is all against the “corrida”, which is banned almost everywhere with fewer events still running.

Talking about the Giralda, we can’t miss mentioning the Cathedral of Seville. It is one of the largest Gothic Cathedrals in the World. It was built on the ancient ruins of the Almohad mosque, which now remains just the Giralda, the old minaret.
Inside this Cathedral, there is the rest of the man who discovered America, the Italian Cristoforo Colombo. He is preserved in a bronze coffin, carried by four heralds representing the four crowns of Spain (León, Castile, Navarra, Aragon). Since 1987 this Cathedral has been included in the list of World Heritage Sites by Unesco. The internal part of this Cathedral is unique and, without a doubt, needs to be included in our top list of instagrammable places in Sevilla.

Another spot which you will love is La Giralda. This is the Belltower of Seville’s Cathedral; you will see this building from Kilometres. It is not just a religious place, but it is becoming one of Seville’s photo spots nowadays. In 1184, this tower was the highest in the World and now is the best example of Almohad architecture in Spain.
The mix of cultures that built up this tower is the answer to the multicultural history of Andalucia. La Giralda was at the beginning a minaret of the Seville Mosque. Looking for the best instagrammable spot of the Giralda of Sevilla, check behind the column or take the shadows of the big archest.

From a formerly guard tower to one of the best photo spots in Sevilla. Torre del Oro was a watchtower built under the Almohad Khalifate. This tower is composed of 12 sides, previously linked to another building, little than this, with eight sides, Torre de la Plata, through the wall of Seville.
