1. The Alcazar
Category: €€/Cultural
Description: If you decide to travel to Seville one day, you'll definitely want to visit the splendid "Santa Cruz" district, which constitutes the heart of the city, because it's mainly here that all its historical past took place, the Alcazar palace can testify to this. If we had to cite one monument to discover as a priority, and which attracts an incalculable number of visitors each year, it's definitely this one! Inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage list (as we might expect), it constitutes the great pride of the city's inhabitants, the oldest inhabited royal palace in all of Europe. It has the particularity of possessing various architectural styles, which makes it a work of art surpassing all beauty: we notably find Muslim art, embellished with a baroque touch, but also Gothic, Romantic, and Moorish. Know that this place has also served as a filming location for the mythical series "Game of Thrones", you'll realize this very quickly while walking in the "Real Alcázar" gardens! The palace is open from October to March, from 9:30 AM to 5 PM, as well as from April to September from 9:30 AM to 7 PM.

Description: Visiting a city as beautiful as Seville means inevitably lingering on its artistic monuments, taking time to walk hand in hand with your other half along a lake in a romantic setting; taking a bike ride on pedestrian areas perfectly designed for you and your safety; eating a delicious local specialty seated on a terrace while admiring the sun taking its bow, while carefully touching our skin with its luminous rays filled with red and orange...That's life in Seville, beautiful, calm, and serene. So enjoy what is considered "the Pearl of Andalusia", and take the opportunity to immortalize all these warm family moments by taking beautiful photos. You'll capture medieval streets, castles, and artistic beauty that exceeds your expectations in every way. We promise you an unforgettable moment in one of the sunniest cities in Europe!
3. Seville Cathedral and Giralda
Category: €€/Cultural
Description: The "Catedral de Santa María de la Sede" is nothing other than the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, so needless to say it's well worth spending a few euros to visit it thoroughly. Among its most important sites to discover, you must of course mention "Christopher Columbus's tomb", whose remains transferred to Seville in 1898 are found in a large bronze coffin; but also the Royal Chapel, in honor of King Ferdinand III of Castile, who once built the city of Seville, in 1248. You can certainly learn more about the city's history, but also admire the various paintings by Spanish painters whose brushwork has remained famous throughout the world to this day: these include "Goya", "Murillo", and "Luis de Vargas", not forgetting "Pedro de Campaña". You'll thus have the vague impression of being both in a cathedral and in a museum with a thousand and one splendors. Located near "Avenue de la Constitucion", it's open Monday to Saturday from 10:45 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 2:30 PM to 7 PM.
4. Casa de Pilatos

Description: When you leave Seville Cathedral and Giralda, about 500 meters further, you'll come face to face with a building in "Renaissance", "Baroque", and "Mudéjar" style, open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Built in the 16th century, this imposing and somewhat intimidating monument gives you a certain idea of what the architecture of "Sevillian Palaces" can look like, with beautiful sculptures, and an interior made of marble, to accentuate this sovereignty side. During your visit, you'll be led to pass through the "Central Patio", which won't leave you indifferent with its arcades and its four angles surrounded by Roman and Greek statues, with a very beautiful double-basin fountain in the middle. Your visit will take you to the ground floor rooms, of which "the Praetorium hall" is visitors' favorite: which opens onto a small cozy and intimate garden, whose particularity of being endowed with a carved wood coffered ceiling gives it a certain originality that sets it apart from other gardens we may have visited in life.
