What first-timers get wrong in Seville
Book the Alcazar and Cathedral online before flying, because walk-up queues in April run to hours. Semana Santa and the April Feria fill the city and multiply hotel rates, so check the dates before booking anything at all. Bars charge different prices at the bar, the table and the terrace from the same menu, so ask for the barra price if you are standing.
What's actually worth your time in Seville
The Real Alcazar at €15.50 is the essential ticket, its slots sell out days ahead in spring, and the same fee covers the Antiquarium and the Triana ceramics museum. The Cathedral's Giralda is climbed by ramp rather than stairs, built for a man on horseback. Plaza de Espana costs nothing and is the best free hour here. Metropol Parasol's walkway is optional.
What things cost in Seville
A TUSSAM bus or tram single is €1.40 and cheaper again with a rechargeable tarjeta. A tapa runs €3 to €5, so three or four make a meal for €12 to €18. The Alcazar is €15.50 and the Cathedral is charged separately. A cana of beer often stays under €2.50 in Triana. Bellas Artes is free with an EU passport.
Seville with kids, realistically
Plaza de Espana's rowing boats on the canal cost a few euros for around thirty-five minutes and work at any age. The Alcazar gardens have peacocks and a hedge maze. Heat is the real constraint, since July and August afternoons routinely pass forty degrees, so plan mornings and evenings only. Santa Cruz's cobbled alleys are narrow for prams and the tram along Constitucion helps.
When the weather turns in Seville
It rains rarely here but hard, mostly between November and March. The Alcazar's interior halls and the Cathedral nave are large and covered. Casa de Pilatos, the Museo de Bellas Artes and the Archivo de Indias are indoors, and two of the three are free. The Antiquarium under Setas de Sevilla shows Roman mosaics below street level. Nervion Plaza is the mall fallback.
