Planning to see the Alcazar and Cathedral and walk around Triana, but not sure what else to try to fit in. We'll do a flamenco show on one of the nights, and will fit in the Basilica Macarena. What else would you suggest? Not expecting to see everything there is to see as we're only there for a couple days, but would like to see the "musts" and have some time to experience the food, culture.
Thanks!
If you are in Triana you should check out the market and there are ruins underneath it that you can tour. I found the bull fighting ring and museum interesting. Plaza de Espana is beautiful and there's a pretty park next to it that's worth strolling through if you have time. If you are walking around in downtown Seville you may want to visit Las Setas, but I wouldn't go out of my way for that.
Enjoy!
Casa del Flamenco gets the most recommendations for a show, including mine. Visit the Alcazar early to enjoy the gardens before it gets too hot. BTW it's my favorite sight in Sevilla.
I went to the Palacio de las Dueñas last March, shortly after it had opened, so it's still not listed in some guidebooks and websites. The Casa de Pilatos is another beauty, especially if you like the azulejos (Moorish ceramic tile work). I wouldn't put either of these as must-sees, but they are both very interesting and beautiful if you have the time.
If it wasn't July, therefore hot, hot, hot, for something a little different - go Roman. Just outside Sevilla is Italica. I believe it's the scene for Gladiator movie. Not a must see, but depending on what else you are doing, it would be a change of scenery.
Just walk in santa cruz, also visit the arena fur the bullfights. It's a guided tour, small museum, you'll feel you're definitly not home. It's plaza de toros.
Don't forget plaza de espana. Fantastic. Eat tapas also. So part of the culture.
Sevilla is top 3 on my list of preferred cities
Saving post.
You will have hit the two major attractions. Plaza de Espana is worth a stop to see all the tiles. It's not large but it's easy to spend an hour there. Maria Luisa Park is nice for a stroll as someone already pointed out. While walking around head over to the river to see the Torre de Oro. If strolling at night, cross the bridge to the other side of the river and you'll get a great view of the Torre de Oro, cathedral, and Giralda all lit up. The bull ring is. In the same area.
