How to Honeymoon in Seville
Considered to be the most romantic city in Spain, it’s no surprise that Seville makes one of the very best honeymoon destinations.
Packed with intimate experiences and beautiful landmarks, Seville is small enough to be explored in as little as 2-3 days – meaning that you can enjoy spending time together in your hotel without worrying that you’ll run out of time to see everything in this beautiful city.
From couples’ spa experiences and canal rowing to intimate music venues, Seville really does have it all when it comes to planning your first holiday as a married couple.
In this post, we’re going to look at some of the most popular things to do as well as 3 beautiful experiences that will take you away from the beaten tourist track.
And if you’re not sure where exactly each amazing spot is, then be sure to check out the map that our fantastic partner Wanderlog, was kind enough to map out for you.
The Best Things to do in Seville on your Honeymoon
Flamenco
Seville is famous for its variety of flamenco shows. Flamenco is not only a form of dance and singing but an expression of the soul – which is what makes it so seductive! Visit El Palacio Andaluz for an intimate performance in a small venue to avoid the crowds of tourists.
The Plaza de Espana
Built for the Universal Exposition in 1929, this impressive landmark is not to be missed during your trip to Seville. Though a popular tourist spot, it is one of the most breathtaking places to visit during your honeymoon to Seville. Take a slow walk through the grounds as well as the adjacent park and you’ll feel like you’re on a movie set.
You can also hire rowing boats for a romantic paddle around the canal inside the square.
The Alcazar of Seville
The Alcazar of Seville is not only home to grand decor and lush greenery just waiting to be marveled at, but it’s also home to Game of Thrones’ ‘Gardens of Dorne’. This medieval fortress is best visited out of the tourist season as you might otherwise find yourself waiting in a very long queue. After visiting the Alcazar, you’re in the perfect spot for a quick photo of or tour inside the neighboring gothic cathedral – one of Seville’s most famous places.
Catedral de Sevilla
This UNESCO world heritage site is a must-see during your honeymoon in Seville. Seville is home to one of the grandest interiors of any cathedral in Spain. This cathedral is adorned with Gothic carvings, statues, and treasures. The Giralda – a minaret – reaches into the heavens and stands at 93 meters tall. If you’re feeling up to it, you and your love can climb the minaret for an unbeatable view of the city.
Eat out
Being in Spain, you’ll never find yourself at a loss for restaurants from which to enjoy the local cuisine. Seville has a wonderful choice of streetside tapas bars as well as high-end restaurants serving beautifully prepared international cuisine.
Santa Cruz
An incredibly charming corner of Seville, Santa Cruz was the Jewish quarter of the city during medieval times. A walk through these narrow streets will have you dreaming of owning your own apartment in the area. You could spend your entire trip exploring the labyrinth of streets here and never fail to find something new. From ceramics shops and plat-filled balconies to cafes with outdoor terraces, this might be one of the most romantic places in the world, let alone Spain.
