Andalusia’s capital packs a Gothic cathedral, a Moorish royal palace, and the birthplace of flamenco into a walkable old town. Days start slow and heat up fast, so front-load sightseeing and save the evening for tapas and the river.

Best time to goMarch to May and late September to October, when days are warm but not brutal. July and August regularly clear 40C, and midday shuts much of the city down. Spring also brings Semana Santa and the Feria de Abril.
Getting aroundThe center is compact and best on foot; wear real walking shoes for the cobbles. A single tram line and the Metro cover longer hops, and the SEVici bike-share is handy along the river. Book Alcazar and Cathedral tickets online to skip the queues.
Local tip: Reserve Real Alcazar and Cathedral entry online days ahead, and go right at opening to beat both crowds and heat. Locals eat tapas standing at the bar and dinner rarely starts before 9pm.
