The biggest city of Southern Spain, Seville is the international capital of flamenco and a hub of culture, tourism and trade with a long history that reaches back to the Roman Empire. This breathtakingly beautiful compact capital is perfect to discover on foot, walking under the shadow of fragrant orange trees. Join Free Walking Tours in Seville and learn how this capital became one of the largest cities in Western Europe in the 16th century and what happened afterwards. The Essential Seville City Tour is an informative walk at a leisurely pace around the old town, where guests visit the main sights of the city. Sometimes there are also Myths and Legends Tours of Seville available. This is a fun activity where you will learn why the city is said to have been founded by Hercules, where the name Tower of Gold comes from, as well as all other interesting facts about the main monuments.

Seville was founded by the Romans, served as capital to an Arab kingdom and became a major trading hub during the Golden Age of the Spanish Empire. With such a rich history, it’s no wonder that Seville contains three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: The Moorish-Renaissance royal fortress of the Alcazar, the massive Cathedral, and the General Archive of the Indies. The Royal Chapel in the Cathedral is even the resting place of the most influential royal couple in the Age of Discoveries: The Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Other must-see landmarks include the picturesque Spain Square at Maria Luisa Park, the Giralda (the former minaret for the Great Mosque, and current bell tower of the Cathedral), the Tower of Gold, the Ancient Tobacco Factory, the bullring Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballeria, and Triana and La Alameda neighborhoods. Visit them all with Free Tours in Seville!

Built right next to the stunning Guadalquivir River, Seville offers a wide array of both indoor and outdoor activities.
