Recommendations & travel tips
📅 Best Time to Visit
Seville is beautiful all year round, but the best seasons to visit are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). The city comes alive with festivals like Semana Santa and Feria de Abril, offering a unique cultural experience. Summers can be extremely hot, so if you visit in July or August, be prepared for high temperatures!
🚆 Getting Around
- The historic center is best explored on foot—Seville's charm is in its narrow streets and hidden corners.
- Use the Metro, trams, and buses for longer distances. A rechargeable Tussam card is great for multiple trips.
- Rent a Sevici bike and enjoy the city's bike-friendly streets.
- For a unique experience, take a boat ride on the Guadalquivir River!
🍽️ Eating Like a Local
- Lunch is usually between 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM, and dinner starts late, around 9 PM – 11 PM.
- Try tapas! Order salmorejo, jamón ibérico, espinacas con garbanzos, and don't miss the famous pescaíto frito.
- For a truly local experience, go for a caña (small beer) and tapas at a traditional bar.
🎭 Cultural Etiquette & Local Tips
- The siesta culture is real! Many shops close between 2 PM – 5 PM, so plan accordingly.
- When watching a flamenco show, be respectful—no loud talking or flash photography.
- Tipping is not mandatory in Spain, but leaving small change (5–10%) is appreciated.
