From traditional Moorish palaces and opulent mansions, to stylish boutique hotels and lively hostels – this accommodation guide will help you decide where to stay in Seville!
Seville is one of my favourite Spanish cities. There’s something about the combination of architecture, cuisine and colourful surroundings that make it feel wonderfully exotic. Bursting with lavish palaces, fabulous shopping and some of Spain’s finest restaurants and tapas bars, the vibrant city is perfect for a short holiday. Also, with temperatures reaching double figures throughout the year, it’s a great spot for an autumn or winter city break.
Arriving in Seville for the first time is an assault on the senses – you’ll find fragrant orange trees and aromatic jasmine plants, dazzling Mudejar architecture and the sounds of flamenco music in the streets. Marvel at the sheer size and grandeur of Seville cathedral, get lost in the winding streets of the Barrio Santa Cruz, and discover the flamenco joints and hole-in-the-wall bars known only to locals.
