Did you know?
Stroll from the Alcázar to the Cathedral, passing through the fragrant gardens of María Luisa, and enjoy Seville’s relaxed charm. You start at the Alcázar of Seville, then head to the Seville Cathedral, where the soaring arches echo with centuries of history. From there, you wander into the lush Parque de María Luisa, feeling the cool breeze off the marble fountains and the scent of orange blossoms drifting through the paths. A short walk brings you to the quiet Jardín de Murillo, where the stone benches invite you to pause and listen to the distant chatter of street musicians. Later, you can stroll along the lively Alameda de Hércules, tasting tapas at a corner bar while watching the sunset paint the rooftops gold. Each step feels like a conversation with the city, and when you’re ready, you can let curiosity lead you to any corner you haven’t yet seen.
