About This Adventure

Explore the enchanting streets of Seville on a captivating walking tour that unveils its rich colonial history. Discover the stunning Alcázar, the world’s largest Gothic cathedral, and the iconic Plaza España. Experience the vibrant blend of ancient splendor and modern culture, making this journey unforgettable and uniquely immersive.

Join us on a walking tour of Spain’s most important colonial city. Seville’s 16th-century wealth can be seen at every turn. Our walk will make you understand the decision of the creators of the TV series Game of Thrones, who chose this city as the setting for many episodes. During the walk you will see the Alcázar, the royal residence, which is still inhabited by the Spanish royal family (when it is not open to tourists, of course). We will also see the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, built on the foundations of a gigantic mosque from the times before the Reconquista, which today reigns supreme over the city. It is here that Christopher Columbus is buried (although there are other hypotheses…). We will also visit an absolutely must-see in Seville – Plaza España – built especially for the EXPO in 1929. If you have to pick one place for a postcard picture of Seville, it’s this square! With us, you’ll get to know this intoxicating city where ancient splendor, opulence of palaces and churches mixes with modern joie de vivre, flamenco, tapas and festivals famous throughout Spain!

During this 2 hours tour you will see and discover:

Alcazar of Seville – the royal palace

the largest gothic cathedral in the world, Giralda

Plaza Espana, the most known city’s landmark
