Tip-based free tour of monumental Seville
Sevilla · 120 min · 2 €+ · Ciudad Secreta Tours
Discover on foot the Seville of the great monuments, from the Giralda to the Plaza de España, with an official tourist guide, paying for the tour with a tip at the end. We start in Plaza de San Francisco, in front of the plateresque façade of the City Hall, and walk down Avenida de la Constitución and its regionalist architecture to go round the Cathedral, from the Puerta del Perdón to Plaza Virgen de los Reyes, at the foot of the Giralda. In Plaza del Triunfo the Cathedral, the Archivo de Indias and the Real Alcázar, a World Heritage Site, come together. We continue past the remains of the city walls, the Torre de Bronce and the site of the Puerta de Jerez, with the Torre del Oro in view, and the stories of the Hotel Alfonso XIII. We pass the old Tobacco Factory, now the university, and enter the grounds of the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition: the Casino de la Exposición, the Glorieta de Bécquer in María Luisa Park and, to finish, the Plaza de España. Duration: about 2 hours, on foot and in Spanish. Outdoor route: we do not go inside the Cathedral or the Alcázar. Minimum 4 adults for the group to run; maximum 7 adults (over 12) per booking. Some stretches have stairs: if you have reduced mobility, ask before booking. Accompanied children and pets are welcome. Bring water, sun protection and comfortable shoes.
