Church building in Seville, Spain.
Morning · 45 minDay 1
Riverside morning, cathedral evening
Plaza de toros de la Maestranza
Cultural property in Sevilla, Spain.
The walk around the sand side of the ring is the way to feel its age, even for those not drawn to what happens here.
Morning · 45 min
Teatro de la Maestranza
Opera house located in Seville, Spain.
Afternoon · 1 hr
Seville Cathedral
Catholic Cathedral in Seville (Formerly a Mosque), Spain.
Arrive at the end of the day, when the aisles quiet down and the low sun reaches the glass. Climb the Giralda at the start of that visit if the tower is open.
Evening · 45 minThe Teatro de la Maestranza and the Plaza de toros share a riverside street, so the move between them takes minutes and leaves the middle of the day open for a slow lunch.
Day 2
Paintings, a wooden canopy, two patios
Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla
Cultural property in Sevilla, Spain.
Morning · 2 hr
Metropol Parasol
Large wooden structure in Seville.
The roof walkway is the whole point; go up first for the old town's layout, then the shade beneath finds its purpose.
Morning · 45 min
Palacio de las Dueñas
Historical Monument (15th Century).
Afternoon · 1 hr 30 min
Casa de Pilatos
Museum.
This is the palace to sit in rather than rush; the patio and its tile work read best when you stop in the middle of each room.
Evening · 1 hr 30 minLet the walk between the two palaces be part of the day; the route passes through quieter streets than the ones around the cathedral.
Day 3
Royal palaces, then the park at dusk
Palacio de San Telmo
Cultural property in Sevilla, Spain.
The river path from here to the Reales Alcázares passes Plaza de España; walking it saves a backtrack later in the day.
Morning · 1 hr 30 min
Reales Alcázares
Royal palace in Seville, Spain.
The gardens run further than the front rooms suggest; leave time at the end of the visit to sit before the walk to Plaza de España.

Plaza de España
Plaza in Seville, Spain.
Afternoon · 45 min
Parque de María Luisa
Cultural property in Sevilla, Spain.

Good to know
How many days do you need in Seville?
Three, at a moderate pace, covers the cathedral, the Reales Alcázares, two noble palaces, the art museum and the riverside park, with evenings still free for the streets.
When is the best time to visit Seville Cathedral?
This trip goes in the evening, when the aisles are quieter and the low sun reaches the stained glass. Climb the Giralda at the start of that visit if the tower is open.
Is Plaza de España near the Reales Alcázares?
A walk of about fifteen minutes through Parque de María Luisa, which is why the two sit on the same day with the park to finish it.
Are the palaces of Seville open to the public?
Palacio de las Dueñas and Casa de Pilatos are both visitable as houses; this trip gives each a long slot so the patios can be taken slowly.
