Continental Europe’s warmest city, Seville is a destination that has been on tourists’ radar for some time.

Year-round excellent weather, renowned attractions and a way of life that is exceedingly relaxed and enjoyable have made it popular with Brits, Europeans and Spaniards alike.

And unlike other cities in Spain, visitors only need to spend three days in Seville to experience its best bits; a long weekend break gives you enough time to see the headline sights, and you won’t leave feeling exhausted (unless you’ve come during the sweltering summer months).

The pre-eminent landmarks include Unesco-listed monuments, one of the world’s largest cathedrals and palaces that date back over a millennium.

A vibrant park and the banks of the Guadalquivir give the city some beautiful natural sites, while a slew of lesser-seen neighbourhoods and an abundance of cultural flair are visible in its festivals and traditions such as flamenco dancing. To help you make the most of your stay, we’ve rounded up the best things to do in the Pearl of Andalusia.
