Real Alcázar de Sevilla (Royal Alcázar of Seville)

This fortress—a royal residence during medieval times—features palace quarters, courtyards and beautiful gardens. The architecture is a combination of Baroque, Renaissance, Gothic, Mudejar and Moorish styles. It has served as a filming location for the series Game of Thrones.

Cathedral and Giralda

The Seville cathedral is known for its size and beautiful altarpiece, and because it is the resting place of Christopher Columbus. Adjacent to the cathedral is the Giralda, and we encourage you to visit the top of this minaret-belfry, that stands at over 100 metres, and enjoy the views.

Tapas in El Rinconcillo

As one of the most traditional tapas bars in Seville, it will feel like you have travelled back in time the moment you walk through the door. Enjoy its authentic feel and traditional tapas. In addition to being very unpretentious, the prices are very reasonable.

Muelle de Nueva York (New York Pier)
