Self-guided audio tour in Seville

Seville is one of Spain's great tapas cities. The local specialities are salmorejo — a thick, cold tomato cream served with hard-boiled egg and jamón —, espinacas con garbanzos (spinach with chickpeas, a classic Moorish-influenced dish) and montaditos (small open sandwiches). Gazpacho, the cold tomato soup, originates from Andalusia. The local drink is rebujito — dry sherry mixed with lemon soda — consumed in vast quantities during the April Fair.

CityAppTour routes are built by content makers who have actually walked the city, researched local history and gathered input from people who know the place well. For Seville, that means telling the full story — the caliphs who built the Alcázar, the cathedral that swallowed a mosque, Columbus's final resting place and the Triana neighbourhood where flamenco was born.

Plan around 2 to 2.5 hours for the walking tour through Seville's historic centre. The route covers the Cathedral and La Giralda, the Alcázar quarter, the Barrio de Santa Cruz, the Plaza del Triunfo and the key streets and squares of the old city — all at your own pace.

Three days is the ideal amount of time in Seville. Day one covers the Cathedral, La Giralda and the Alcázar. Day two explores the Barrio de Santa Cruz, the Museo de Bellas Artes and the Triana neighbourhood across the Guadalquivir. Day three leaves time for the Plaza de España, the Metropol Parasol and any remaining museums or tapas bars. A fourth day allows a day trip to Córdoba or the white villages of Andalusia.

Yes — Seville is one of the most spectacular cities in Spain and absolutely worth visiting. It has three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a single historic centre: the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, the Royal Alcázar palace (still used by the Spanish royal family) and the Archive of the Indies. Add flamenco, tapas culture, the Barrio de Santa Cruz and one of the most impressive city squares in Europe, and Seville delivers more per day than almost any other Andalusian city.

The five unmissable experiences in Seville are: the Cathedral and La Giralda tower — Columbus is buried inside —, the Real Alcázar with its extraordinary Mudéjar architecture and gardens, the Barrio de Santa Cruz (the former Jewish quarter), the Plaza de España and a night out in the Triana neighbourhood with flamenco and tapas. Arriving in spring, the orange blossom scent that fills the city streets is an experience in itself.

Seville is the only city in Spain with three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in one historic centre, the only Spanish city where flamenco has its deepest roots and largest live scene, and the city where Christopher Columbus is buried. The Alcázar is the oldest still-inhabited royal palace in Europe, used by the Spanish royal family to this day. The combination of Moorish, Christian and Jewish history layered in a single square kilometre is unmatched anywhere in the country.
