Real Alcázar
A royal palace still used by the Spanish crown, rebuilt in Mudéjar style under Pedro I in the 14th century. The route runs through the palace rooms and out into the gardens, and takes most of a morning.
Go at opening. The palace rooms are small, so crowds slow the whole route, and the gardens are at their best before the tour groups arrive.
Tickets are sold online and at the box office in the Patio de Banderas from 9:00, by card only. Buy online in advance to avoid the box office queue, especially at weekends and in spring.
Winter hours run from 1 October to 31 March, 9:30 to 17:00. From 1 April to 30 September it opens 9:30 to 19:00. The site is cleared about 45 minutes after the closing time shown. Closed on 1 and 6 January, Good Friday and 25 December.

Seville Cathedral and Giralda
One of the largest cathedrals in the world, built on the site of the city's main mosque. The standard ticket covers the interior and the climb up the Giralda bell tower.
Do the Giralda first, because the visit starts there. Early in the day the nave is quiet and the light through the windows is better.
Tickets carry an access time. Online tickets enter by the Lagarto Gate and box office tickets by the Prince's Gate. Book ahead for weekends and spring.
From 1 September 2026: Monday to Saturday 10:45 to 19:00, Sunday 14:30 to 19:00. The box office closes at 18:00. Times can change for worship and church events.

Torre del Oro
A 13th century riverside watchtower that now holds a small maritime museum. It is quick to visit and sits on the best stretch of the river path.
Visit it on the way to Triana. The riverbank beside it is a good place to sit for a few minutes.
Monday to Friday 9:30 to 19:00, Saturday and Sunday 10:30 to 19:00, with the last entry at 18:30. Closed on 1 and 6 January, Good Friday, 1 May and 24, 25 and 31 December.

Metropol Parasol (Las Setas)
A wooden canopy over Plaza de la Encarnación, finished in 2011. A lift takes you to a walkway on top with a view over the old town roofs.
Go up about 30 minutes before sunset to see the city in daylight and then lit. The sunset light show runs at that hour.
Buy a time slot on the official site. You can change or cancel with a refund up to two hours before.
Open daily from 9:30. It closes at midnight in winter and at 1:00 in summer, and the last entry is 30 minutes before closing. The shorter winter time is shown.
