Ting å gjøre i Seville

The meeting point was clear and the itinerary was well-planned. However, the departure was delayed, and the tour guide didn't show up at the designated time. The tour company also didn't proactively inform us, causing travelers to repeatedly go into the office to inquire. Eventually, another guide had to go find our actual guide, which was a very frustrating process. Aside from that, the itinerary itself ran very smoothly.

Visiting the Royal Alcázar of Seville is an unforgettable excursion filled with history and beauty. As you enter, you are surrounded by intricate Moorish architecture, delicate arches, and colorful tilework that reflect centuries of culture. The peaceful courtyards, like the famous Patio de las Doncellas, offer a calm escape from the city’s noise. Walking through the royal chambers, you can imagine the lives of kings and queens who once lived there. The lush gardens, filled with fountains, orange trees, and peacocks, make the experience even more magical. It is a perfect place to explore, learn, and admire timeless art and design.

I really couldn’t speak highly enough of this tour. Our guide Lorena was friendly and knowledgeable. Paco was a very safe driver. The whole tour was well thought out and timed. Really worth it and a must in my opinion if you are visiting Seville.

Sevilla er en veldig nydelig by. Full av historie og kultur. Vi kan se trioen av arabisk-jødisk-kristen kultur samlet i ett. Guiden vår, Sama-el, var svært kunnskapsrik om stedene. Jeg elsker Alcazar så mye. Verdt å bli med i gruppen. Det er bare det veldig varme været (opptil 43C) som gjør vandreturen litt vanskelig. Ellers gir jeg tommel opp for denne turen, spesielt til Sama-el, guiden vår. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Stepping inside the church, one is instantly transported from the scorching Andalusian sun into a tranquil and solemn sanctuary. Looking up, the towering Gothic arches stretch and intertwine like colossal trees carved from stone. Sunlight streams through the stained-glass windows, casting colorful halos onto the mottled stone floor. At the deepest part of the nave is the breathtaking main altarpiece (Retablo Mayor). Countless gilded statues intricately depict biblical stories, shimmering in the faint candlelight, exuding a quiet yet powerful force. However, the most striking feature within the church is undoubtedly the Tomb of Columbus. Statues of the four Spanish kings—Castile, Leon, Aragon, and Navarre—bear the navigator's coffin aloft. Standing before the tomb, the stark contrast between the tumultuous age of maritime power and this serene hall evokes a profound sense of the ebb and flow of time and history.

Our day in Seville was almost perfect. The Cathedral and the Royal Alcázar were indescribably beautiful, and the architecture of the old town was magnificent. Its planning and layout were textbook perfect. Although the tickets for the Cathedral and the Royal Alcázar weren't cheap, they were definitely worth it! The Royal Alcázar had a very Indian feel to it, completely different from the mainstream European palace architectural style.

This is a great show, only ensure that you reach 60 mins before to get good seats and the ability to see the performers legs properly. Highly recommended to anyone looking to learn about the dance’s history and enjoy the performance as well.

Showet varte rundt en time med en god fremvisning av Flamencoens fotspor. Det eneste problemet er at for billetter bestilt via KLook, blir vi tildelt de bakerste radene i teateret, så du får kanskje ikke sett det på nært hold. Men å bestille via KLook er et godt alternativ for budsjettvalg!

Jeg fikk Alcazar og Flamenco via Klook-pass. Det var fint fordi jeg sparte penger i stedet for å bestille de to aktivitetene individuelt. Alcazar var stort, så sørg for å ta med pass/ID og vann i sommersesongen, da det blir veldig varmt. Vi likte også Flamenco-showet på vår siste dag i Sevilla.
