50 Things to Do in Seville
What to Do in Seville

By , About.com Guide

Visiting Seville? There's no chance you'll get bored - I've found 50 things to do in the city. If I had included every fine tapas bar or historic church, this list could have easily reached 100.

I've divided them into each major barrio or district of Seville. Note that the divisions are approximate - some of these sights might not strictly speaking be in the barrio they are listed under.

But no visit to Seville would be complete without taking a day trip out of the city, so don't forget to check out these Day Trips from Seville.

Many of these sights are free with the Seville Card and Seville Cultura Card.
