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.
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.
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.
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.
