1. Reales Alcazares y Jardines
|
|
| This was the most impressive thing we did. The palace is located in the middle of Seville and at first glace is very uninteresting, but it is truly worth the 7 euros. Surprisingly, it was not listed as first in any of our guidebooks. But it was breathtaking. |

|
| If you can manage to sneak in a 3 hour train ride from Seville, the Alhambra in Granada is definitely worth it. You should allow yourself about 2-3 hours. It sounds like a lot, but you will spend that much time just soaking it in. I would recommend going at sunset if possible (though it closes at 8). |

3. Prado Museum (Museo del Prado)
|
|
| This is one thing that I wish we had more time for. The Prado for museum connusieurs is a blast. There is so much beautiful artwork. Be prepared for a long day if you are traveling with a museum buff. |
|
|
4. Queen Sofia Arts Center (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia)
|
|
| Even if you hate modern art, Reina Sofia is worth your visit. The building itself is awesome. The artwork, however, is even more impressive. Dali, Picasso line the walls. |

|
5. Los Gallos Flamenco
|
|
| Flamenco Company in Seville. Ask hotel receptionist. They will know exactly what is and will be able to book tickets. |
|
|
7. Retiro Park (Parque del Retiro)
|
|
| Try to visit the park at night. It is truly spectacular how it comes to life. |
|

|
|
|
| Wandering through these streets is an adventure. No map exists that includes all the small pathways. Be prepared to get lost a little bit, but it is worth it. The shops and restuarants are adorable and the buildings are beautiful. |
