City Break: 24hrs in Seville

City Break: 24 Hours in Seville – Explore Spain’s Most Vibrant City

Seville is a city that captures your heart from the moment you arrive. So you know that we had to send Claudia Peifer to explore its streets for TA-DAH.TV.

With its stunning architecture, rich history, and infectious energy, this Andalusian gem proves that some of the best travel experiences come in small packages – even if you’ve only got 24 hours to explore.

Here’s everything we recommend you try with one day in the city and surroundings – we know because we’ve done them!

Where is Seville?

Seville is a captivating city located in the heart of Andalusia, southern Spain.

Renowned for its sunny climate, vibrant traditions, and a history that spans centuries, Seville is easily accessible by train, car, or plane.

Its central location makes it an ideal destination for travelers seeking a mix of cultural richness, architectural splendor, and unforgettable culinary experiences.

Whether you’re visiting from Madrid, Barcelona, or nearby European cities, Seville offers a slice of Andalusian charm you won’t want to miss. So, with all that incredible stuff to do, how do you spend a day here? Here’s our iconic itinerary.

Morning: Exploring the Historic Heart of Seville

There’s no time to waste if you want to pack everything into your 24 hours in Seville. And we’re starting by exploring her historic architecture. If you caught our Valentine’s Day trip to Vienna, you’ll know that we love our awesome architecture.

Start Your Day at Seville Cathedral

Rise early and head to one of the world’s most impressive architectural marvels – Seville Cathedral.

This isn’t just any cathedral; it’s the largest Gothic cathedral globally and the third-largest church in the world. Pro traveler tip: arrive when it opens to beat the crowds and fully appreciate its breathtaking interior.

Cathedral Highlights:

  • 80 stunning chapels
  • 124,000 square feet of exploration
  • The iconic Giralda bell tower
  • Christopher Columbus’s remarkable tomb

The Giralda: A Climb Worth Taking

The cathedral’s bell tower offers a unique historical experience. Climb the 35 gently sloping ramps – originally designed for horses to ascend – and enjoy panoramic views of Seville’s historic centre.

Fun fact: These ramps were ingeniously created to make the call to prayer easier for medieval bell ringers. Who knew they were thinking of accessibility all those years ago!

Late Morning: Plaza de España and Maria Luisa Park

fter exploring the cathedral, walk to the magnificent Plaza de España. Built in 1929, this architectural masterpiece is often called the “Venice of Seville” thanks to its surrounding canals.

The semi-circular building, flanked by two impressive towers, is a photographer’s dream.

Take a leisurely stroll through the adjacent Maria Luisa Park, stopping for a refreshing ice cream. The lush gardens provide a perfect urban oasis, reminiscent of Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh!

Lunch: Tapas and Local Flavours

Places like Seville and Cadiz have given Andalusia a reputation as a food lover’s paradise, and lunch is the perfect time to dive into the authentic cuisine of the region.

Head to the historic Santa Cruz neighborhood (the old Jewish Quarter) or, for an incredible tapas experience, try the Triana Market where you’ll find plenty of traditional spots serving tasty treats like:

  • Jamón ibérico
  • Manchego cheese
  • Pescaíto frito (fried fish)
  • Local chorizo
  • Sherries and wines

Afternoon: Contemporary Seville

The best way to let that spread of savoury treats go down is by getting some more city exploration into your shoes.

Las Setas: A Modern Marvel

No 24-hour Seville itinerary is complete without visiting Metropol Parasol, locally known as Las Setas (The Mushrooms).

This extraordinary wooden structure is the world’s largest wooden construction and offers a fascinating contrast to the city’s historic buildings.

Explore its multiple levels:

  • Underground Antiquarium with archaeological remains
  • Ground-level market
  • Rooftop restaurant and viewing platform with unparalleled city views

Evening: Sunset and Nightlife

As the day winds down, head to a rooftop bar to watch Seville’s stunning sunset. The city transforms as golden light bathes its historic buildings, creating a magical atmosphere.

Where to Enjoy Evening Tapas:

If you haven’t had enough tapas, there are plenty of mouthwatering restaurants to indulge your senses with more Mediterranean morsels. We recommend trying these super stop-offs:

  • La Brunilda: Modern tapas in a trendy setting
  • El Rinconcillo: Seville’s oldest tapas bar (since 1670!)
  • El Abantal: For those seeking a more upscale dining experience
  • Tropiko Gastro Bar: Have a break from tapas and meat with some delicious fusion health foods.

Nightlife and Rooftop Views

What could be a better way to end your 24 hours in Seville with a visit to a rooftop bar?

Pura Vida is one of Seville’s most loved rooftop bars and it’s easy to see why, as it offers stunning views of the illuminated Seville Cathedral and Giralda Tower. Sip cocktails as you take in the magical nighttime ambiance of the city.

If you want to take the vibes up a notch, check out Alameda de Hércules, a vibrant square filled with bars, music, and nightlife. The perfect end to the perfect day of Spanish exploration.
