There is such an abundance of amazing cultural and historical sites to take in, as well as incredible food and opportunities to get to know locals and other travelers. So read on to learn more about some of the top things to do while you’re visiting Seville:

Go for a photo walk

Seville is one of those cities where you can just stroll and wander through the streets and always come up on something new and beautiful. It’s a great place to wander with your camera and capture your experiences as they come up. Go for a walk through the Santa Cruz neighborhood, an absolutely gorgeous section of town. Here, the winding streets reveal glorious surprises around every bend. You’ll find cute little shops, pretty courtyards, gardens, balconies overhanging with flowers and even some medieval architecture.

Climb La Giralda Tower

You must visit the famous Cathedral while in Seville. It’s built in a gothic style and is actually a World Heritage site, built back in the 15th century. The real draw of this tower is the opportunity to climb all the way to the top of the bell tower, also known as La Giralda.

Don’t forget a nice glass of red wine to wash it all down.
