Seville — Spain 

Sevilla is the largest city in Spain, not just in terms of area but in terms of power and cultural impact. The grandeur of the historical monuments, the hustle of public squares, and the peace of lush green parks are sure to leave their mark. Here are some places you can’t miss in Seville: 

Plaza de España: Plaza de España is one of the most famous squares in Seville, designed by Aníbal González in the Spanish Renaissance style. Several buildings in the square were originally designed for the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929. The plaza's semi-circular shape represents Spain embracing its former colonies, with a canal symbolizing the ocean connecting Spain to the Americas.

Royal Alcázar of Seville: The Royal Alcázar is one of the oldest Royal Palaces of Europe that is still in use. Experience history, art, and culture intertwining in a breathtaking place all the way from the 11th century. You can buy your tickets and access an audio guide from the official website. 

Catedral de Sevilla: Discover the world’s third-largest church and the intricate Renaissance architecture representing the centuries it has withstood. The church screams the city’s wealth, culture, and power. The cathedral will definitely impress you from its stained-glass windows to the hanging crocodile and an elephant’s trunk. 

Setas de Sevilla: The Seville Mushrooms, or the Metropol Parasol, is an enigmatic structure made of wood and concrete. This structure is about 150 meters long and 70 meters wide, and even houses a traditional market and a restaurant on the ground floor. You’ll also find an event space, a terrace, and a viewpoint. 

Parque de María Luisa: María Luisa Park is a true green lung and an international city landmark. The park is the perfect destination if you want to spend some time among the greenery adorning the gardens, statues, and peace, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. 

The hop on hop off bus tours in Seville will help you tour all the magnificent attractions of the city quickly, but at your own pace.
