Things To Know Before Visiting Seville: Flightd tells you what Travel Mistakes to Avoid

Seville is more than a place, it's a feeling. But my first trip had some bumps. With Flightd, learn what I wish I knew, so you can enjoy the magic without the mess ups.

London City

Don’t Visit in Summer Unless You’re Part Lizard

Seville is a beautiful city, but summer can be very hot. If you visit in July or August, try to go out early, rest during the hot hours, and enjoy the evenings. And make sure your place to stay has air conditioning.


Book Your Alcázar Tickets in Advance

Don’t make my mistake, these sell out fast. Book online as soon as your dates are set and aim for the earliest slot to beat both crowds and the heat.


Skip the Tourist Flamenco Find the Real Thing

Real flamenco isn’t flashy, it's raw, emotional, and unforgettable. Head to local peñas or authentic venues like Casa de la Memoria. A visit to the Flamenco Museum adds context and depth.


Adapt to Spanish Time or Go Hungry

People eat late, shops shut in the afternoon, and siestas are a real thing. Try to follow the local rhythm: have lunch around 2, snacks at 7, and dinner after 9. Going against the flow here just doesn’t work.


Get Out of the Tourist Core

Wander beyond the cathedral. Explore Triana for ceramics and flamenco roots, Alameda de Hércules for bohemian vibes, and Macarena for traditional, spiritual Seville. Each barrio tells a unique story.


Semana Santa Is Powerful (But Not for the Faint of Heart)

Holy Week in Seville is intense. It’s deeply spiritual and incredibly crowded. If you go, book way in advance and embrace the unpredictability.
 

Don’t Rush the Sights

The cathedral and Alcázar aren’t pit stops, they're experiences. Take time to climb the Giralda, sit in quiet chapels, and soak in centuries of history at your own pace.


Tapas Hopping Isn’t Optional

Ditch the sit down dinners. Tapas hopping is the way to eat in Seville: one or two plates and a drink at each bar. Start with jamón ibérico, try gazpacho, and end with pescaíto frito.


Seek Out Green Spaces for a Breather

Parque de María Luisa, the Plaza de España, and the riverside walkways are perfect for cooling off and people watching. Las Setas offers panoramic views and a modern contrast to the historic core.


Don’t Be a Hero Use Public Transport

Walk when it’s cool, but don’t hesitate to use Seville’s metro, taxis, or bike sharing system (Sevici). Your feet and your sweat glands will thank you.


Use Seville as a Launchpad

Seville is the heart of Andalusia. Take day trips to Córdoba, Granada, and the white villages. You’ll appreciate Seville even more once you see what surrounds it.


Dress Respectfully and Learn Basic Spanish

This is a traditional city covered up in churches and dress smartly. A few Spanish phrases go a long way, and locals will warm up when they see you’ve made the effort.


The Real Secret to Loving Seville

You don’t conquer Seville, you feel it. Let the city lead. Sit in sunny squares, follow flamenco sounds, and enjoy each bite. With Flightd, take it slow, Seville stays with you forever.
