This Seville Spain Itinerary will go over things to do in Seville Spain, a day trip from Seville Spain I recommend, top tours and tickets I think is worth spending your money on and so much more!
This blog post is all about a 3-day Seville Spain itinerary.
Day 1 in Seville Spain
Overview of the day:
I believe the first day in a new place should be used to explore and get yourself acquainted with where you are staying. In my opinion, the best way to do this is by walking around, which is why I almost always try and find a free walking tour to do on the first day. These are all the activities I think you should do on your first day in Seville Spain:- Walking tour of Seville
- Explore Calle Betis
- Explore the Spanish Square
- Go to a Flamenco Show
Morning:
For your first morning in Seville, I recommend booking a walking tour around the most popular spot. Free walking tours are the best and are offered all around Europe. Do not be fooled by the name they are not completely free, the amount you pay is based on how much you want and feel is right to tip at the end of the tour (and that is ALL you need to pay). The walking tour I did while visiting Seville was called the Essential Free Walking Tour by White Umbrella Tours Seville. This tour started at the famous Seville Plaza de Espana and ended at the Alcazar of Seville with many stops in between. This tour is around 2 hours and 30 minutes so should take up most of your morning.
Afternoon:
After your walking tour is over and you have a bit to eat go explore down by the water. Calle Betis is a famous street in Seville known for its beautiful views along the water and of the historic quarter. Stop by Mercado de Triana along your walk down Calle Betis. This market is filled with amazing local food, even if you don’t want to buy anything it is fun to walk around. Walking along the water and enjoying all the amazing views is such a great way to spend your afternoon in Seville.
Evening/Night:
During the evening of your first night in Seville, I recommend walking back to the Spanish Square because the walking tour doesn’t give you a lot of time to explore and there is so much to see. So after dinner when there are fewer tourists crowding around the Plaza de Espana you can take photos and explore parts of the building. And to end off your first night I recommend booking a ticket to go see a Flamenco Show. Spain is famous for their Flamenco dancing so this needs to be on your bucket list for Spain. I booked my tickets off GetYourGuide for an affordable price and the show was amazing.
Day 2 in Seville Spain
Overview of the day:
For your second day in Seville Spain, I recommend a day trip from Seville to visit Ronda. Travelling from Seville to Ronda takes between 2-3 hours depending on your mode of transport. If you are like me and want to save some money and don’t feel comfortable driving in a foreign country renting a car is not an option so the next best thing is bussing. I booked my bus ticket through Omio and it cost me around 28 euros for a round trip bus ticket.
If you do not want to take public transport another option is to book a tour that will drive to Ronda and back as well as offer a tour around Ronda. This option is a bit more expensive but some prefer having everything organized for them. You can find a day trip tour from Seville to Ronda on GetYourGuide.
Morning:
Most of your morning will be spent driving from Seville to Ronda. This drive will take around 2-3 hours which might seem like a really long time but the drive is quite scenic to picture the drive as part of the day trip. You most likely arrive in Ronda late morning and after sitting for so long you will be ready to explore.Afternoon:
Places to Visit in Ronda:
1. Mirador de Ronda
Mirador de Ronda is a beautiful viewpoint of the gorge. There is a beautiful park and a walkway along the cliff edge so you can see the vast gorge below. At the end of the walkway, you will see The New Bridge from above.2. Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda
Ronda is known for being to home of the oldest stone bullfighting ring in Spain. It is interesting to learn about the history but I highly advise against going to see a bullfight as this is a very severe form of animal abuse used to entertain. I was very surprised to learn while in Seville Spain that at the end of a bullfighting show, they kill the bull so please do not support this.3. Puente Nuevo (The New Bridge)
The New Bridge is probably what you think of when you think of Ronda. This famous bridge provides a lookout over the vast gorge below. It is the newest (as it says in the name) and largest of three bridges in Ronda that go over the gorge.4. La Casa del Rey Moro
La Casa del Rey Moro is a beautiful house overlooking the valley. This house has beautiful views, amazing gardens and PEACOCKS! It does cost money to enter, around 8 euros per person, but from the reviews I have heard it is well worth the money.5. Palacio de Mondragon
Palacio de Mondragon is another building, like La Casa del Rey Moro, that overlooks the valley. This building is now turned into a museum where you can go in and learn about Ronda’s history. It costs around 3 euros to enter the museum.6. Jardines de Cuenca/ Arco de Felip V
Is a beautiful park along the cliff sides on Ronda that gives you a fantastic view of The New Bridge from below. Walking along the New Bridge is fun but seeing the view of it from below is amazing! Arco de Felip V is a beautiful archway that used to be part of the walls of Ronda. This arch is just a few minutes walk from Jardines de Cuenca.Evening/Night:
I would recommend having an early dinner in Ronda before your long journey back to Seville, depending on what time you are leaving Ronda. If you eat at a restaurant along the main streets the food will be more expensive so I recommend looking along some of the sidestreets for some hidden gems.Day 3 in Seville Spain
Overview of the day:
During your last day in Seville before travelling to your next destination on your trip or before heading home should be used to see the last things on your bucket list. The Seville Alcazar should definitely be on your Seville bucket list. These were some of the activities on my to-do list for the last day:- souvenir and window shopping
- Alcazar of Seville
- Walk around Santa Cruz and the Jewish Quarter
Morning:
I spent my last morning in Seville walking up and down the popular streets and shopping for souvenirs and window shopping (if you are lucky you can also find some sweet shops and try from samples).Afternoon:
Your afternoon should be spent exploring the Alcazar of Seville. You can spend hours exploring and learning about every room in the Alcazar and then go wandering in the giant gardens. The Alcazar is absolutely breathtaking (and I also recommend bringing a journal and/or book to relax with in the gardens). You need to purchase a ticket to enter the Alcazar of Seville but once you are in you can spend as much time as you would like exploring. I purchased my ticket from GetYourGuide.
Evening/Night:
After dinner spend your last evening in Seville exploring Santa Cruz and the Jewish Quarter. Wonder around along the narrow pathways and streets with cute buildings and shops. Maybe even treat yourself to some famous Spanish churros or other dessert. That brings us to the end of our time in Seville. This is how to spend 3 amazing days travelling around Seville Spain. Hope this itinerary helped you plan your trip and I hope you have the most amazing time!This post was all about a 3-day Seville Spain itinerary.
