You can see the best that Seville has to offer in a jiffy, so why not start by admiring the gorgeous Gothic Catedral de Sevilla and its Giralda Tower? Pop across the plaza to marvel at the entrance of Moorish royal masterpiece, the Alcázar, but skip the queuing to enjoy the vibrant Santa Cruz neighborhood, filled with an array of landmarks, flowered balconies, and hidden patios you won't find in your guidebook. Perhaps you'd like to cross the sparkling Guadalquivir River via the Isabel II Bridge — adorned with love locks — and admire the charming Capilla del Carmen chapel in the Gypsy quarter, Triana. Once away from the crowds, you could grab a Solomillo al Whisky at the iconic Triana Market and bask in the barrio's world-renowned flamenco flair.

Wander the sun-soaked streets of the bright Santa Cruz neighborhood like a pro with your local insider and pass iconic sights such as the charming El balcón de Rosina that inspired Gioachino Rossini's beloved opera, or The Plaza de Santa Cruz — bursting with pink bougainvillea and centuries' worth of history. Twist along the heart of the city's narrow streets and hidden gems to the breathtaking church, Iglesia de Santa María la Blanca, from where you can wander to the modern La Encarnación square, home to the futuristic Setas de Sevilla structure. Next, you can head over to garden square La Alameda to rub shoulders with Seville creatives, or perhaps you'd like to stroll away from the crowds to the vibrant old quarter Triana, where illustrious bullfighters and flamboyant flamenco singers once roamed the streets — olé!
