3-Day Itinerary for
Seville
Three days covers Seville well if you book the Alcázar and the Cathedral first. Save Las Setas for sunset, because that’s when it earns its ticket.
Prices and opening hours were checked in November 2026 and can change, so confirm them before you go.
Day 1: The Old Centre
Start with the two big tickets, then finish on foot in the old town.
Real Alcázar
Book the first slot you can get. The palace and gardens are the best thing in the city, and it’s worth seeing them before the crowds build.
Good to know: open 09:30–17:00 from October to March and 09:30–19:00 from April to September. Closed 1 and 6 January, Good Friday and 25 December. General entry is €15.50.
Cathedral and La Giralda
Next door to the Alcázar, so no need to plan a transfer. The climb up La Giralda is the part most people remember.
Good to know: open Monday to Saturday 10:45–18:00 and Sundays 14:30–19:00, and it can change for services. Tickets are €13 online or €14 at the door.
Dinner: Eslava
A dependable San Lorenzo choice for Andalusian cooking. Try the low-temperature egg on porcini sponge, which won a Seville award in 2010.
Good to know: Guía Repsol puts the average under €35. Reservations cover the dining room only, the bar is first come, first served, and it’s closed on Mondays.
Day 2: Plaza de España and Las Setas
A slower day, ending high above the city.
Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa
Both are free and need no booking, so use them for an easy morning. Allow one to two hours for the plaza alone.
Lunch: Sobretablas
Modern takes on classic Andalusian dishes in El Porvenir, close to the park. The prawns with cracklings are the house classic.
Good to know: it serves Tuesday to Saturday, and booking is through its website.
Las Setas at sunset
Time your visit for sunset and allow 60 to 90 minutes. Your ticket covers the 360° deck, a short film and the Aurora light show after dark.
Good to know: tickets start at €16 and are sold for set times. It opens at 09:30 and runs until late.
Day 3: Triana and San Lorenzo
Cross the river, then finish with one of the city’s oldest bars.
Triana
Walk across to Triana for the morning, and check if your Alcázar ticket still covers the ceramics centre, as the 2025 terms included it.
Dinner: El Rinconcillo
Founded in 1670 and still serving spinach with chickpeas, which is the dish to order.
Good to know: open daily from 13:00, closed the first fortnight of August. Online bookings are for the restaurant only, not the tapas area.
