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 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.
Seville's museums, and which one to pick
The Museo de Bellas Artes, housed in a former convent, holds the Murillo and Zurbaran rooms and admits EU citizens free, so carry the passport. It closes Mondays. Casa de Pilatos mixes Mudejar tilework with Roman statuary and charges separately for the upper floor. The Archivo de Indias keeps the paperwork of the Spanish Americas and is free to enter.
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.
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.
