Seville City Breaks

Seville hosts Spain's most exhuberant fiestas and has a fascinating multicultural history which makes this vibrant city so popular with short break travellers. It's the best place to see traditional Spanish bullfighting and flamenco dancing, and sample some of the country's finest cuisine.

Because the city's main attractions lie close together and its network of streets are particularly alluring, walking in Seville is both sensible and a pleasure. But to see the city's true character you should visit when its residents are celebrating, perhaps during the processions of Semana Santa, otherwise known as Holy Week, or the debauchery of the Feria de Abril immediately afterwards.

Seville is bursting with fantastic attractions which include the spectacular 16th century palace of Casa de Pilatos and the third largest church in the world, Seville Cathedral. Other must-see's include the historic bullring of Plaza de Toros de la Mestranza and the Torre del Oro - a twelve sided defensive lookout housing the city's Maritime Museum.
