    Interesting construction
    Interesting construction offering great views of the city. We visited late afternoon and there were no queues- I guess it might get busier nearer sunset. After walking the route it was lovely to sit in the shade of the construction and watch life go by.
    Hello, thank you very much for your review. We are glad to hear that it was a very pleasant walk and that you enjoyed the views from the 360º viewpoint. We hope to see you again, best regards!

    Absolute must visit when in Seville!
    Definitely worth a vist whilst in Seville! We went on a week day and it was really quiet. You can go inside for around 1.5 euro to see the ruins below which are interesting. You can also wander up to a higher level for no cost. On this level, there are numerous benches which you can sit around and have picnics, drinks whilst taking in the views, some of the seats have small tables. It seemed popular with the locals and it was refreshing as it has a lovely breeze which is lovely when the temperatures are in excess of 40 degrees! We sat around for an hour eating fruit, taking in the views and people watching. We did not go to the top due to the temperatures, but wanted to return at sunset to watch the sun go down and take in the views over the city, but we didn't have time. We will do it next time!
    Hello, thank you very much for your review. We are glad that you have in mind to go up to the lookout point to discover the incredible views of the city. I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience very much, best regards!

    Beware, no longer €3
    Price has changed. We saw this on a couple of tv and YouTube videos, also in various blogs. It looks amazing as an architectural artwork. However, from our research we believed the price to be €3 . This appears to have gone up to €15 which is a 5 fold increase. We certainly didn’t think it was worth it as we’d seen the views from the cathedral. I could accept an inflationary increase but 5x seems excessive and we decided against this.

    Amazing experience
    We went to the Setas after dinner for the immersive movie experience. The movie was amazing and just 15 minutes. It really captured the sights and sounds of Sevilla. Afterward we wander around the top where you have 360* views of the city. It’s illumination and changing colors provided a breathtaking experience. You should reserve your tickets online.
    Hello, thank you very much for recommending the visit. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the monument and the views of the city from the 360º viewpoint. The Feeling experience is fantastic and we hope to see you again soon. Best regards!

    Expensive
    We paid for two, more than a couple and child, the walkway is fairly short and the video whilst ok isn’t really needed. Largest wooden structure in the world. Views over the city are good but it’s all the same height so nothing stands out particularly and the structure isn’t that high.
    Hello, thank you very much for the review. We are sorry to hear that the experience was not as you imagined. best regards!

    A modern twist on Seville
    Incredible structure and a great way to get a roof-top view of Seville. The modern nature of the construction offers a great contrast to the older churches and palacios of the city. The video show is a great way to immerse yourself in Sevillian atmosphere. In the rain at night the light show of 'the mushroom offers a different but romantic image.
    Hello, thank you very much for your comment. We are glad you enjoyed the overall visit, from the views from the 360° observation deck to the Feeling and Aurora experiences. We look forward to seeing you again - best regards!

    Beautiful views
    Interesting structure, views from the platform were amazing, audio visual show is visually stunning but does not provide much information. The light show runs from 8:30 pm to 12:30am and is worth seeing. The ticket allows you to return within 48 hrs so you can see the views in sunlight and again at night with the light show. It was tricky to find the time for the light show as it is not stated on their website and even when we asked the staff they were a bit vague (or their English was only slightly better than our non existent Spanish) until we went back the second day and found someone who spoke good English and gave us clear information.
    Hello, thank you very much for your visit. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the views from the 360º viewpoint and the Feeling and Aurora experiences. We're sorry you couldn't find information about the Aurora experience, as it varies depending on the sunset. We look forward to seeing you again, best regards!

    Simply magical night time experience
    During the day, this attraction is breathe taking, bold, whimsical and beautiful. By night is mesmerises! The combination of the changing lights, and music turns this attraction into a ballet of light and sound as you walk across the top of it. It is impossible not to stop and watch the light shimmer and change in time with the music and yet far below the bustle of city life continues, oblivious or completely accepting of what happens above. This was one of the highlights of our trip and I will make a point of visiting it again. Speaking with other visitors as we left Spain, it seems that a ticket bought for a day time visit can also be used later that day for a night time visit. Check with the venue, if its the case then this is a real bargain.
    Hello, thank you very much for your visit. We are glad that you enjoyed the experience and that it was a nice souvenir of your visit to the city. We hope to see you again and that you can enjoy it during the day as well. Best regards!

    unique
    We had seen this structure from a distance during a prior visit to Seville, and finally there was time to explore it. Some might wonder why visit this place, when there is a cathedral of exceptional beauty and all the interest of the old city center. My response is that the shopping area leading to the Setas is by itself quite interesting, and the history of the site is important, dating to Roman times. The structure is impressive, and if one believes the documentation, it is the largest wooden structure in the world. The view from the top is nice, as is the multi-sense video of Seville. Absolutely worth visiting.
    Hello! Thanks for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the views from our viewpoint and our Feeling Sevilla show. We hope to see you again on your next visit!

    Worth visiting
    Unusual sculptural building in the middle of a traditional square. Loved the unique architecture. We went at sunset which was beautiful and stayed for some of the light show. We almost didn't go to the short 4D film show but glad we did. It gave great views of Seville.
    Hi! Thanks so much for your review. We're glad to hear that you liked all our shows and the views we have of the Seville sunset. We hope to see you again soon!

Interesting enough structures for 5 minutes but relatively underwhelming. Apparently €50 m budget went out the window when the architects admitted that the building materials available had none of the properties that were required, and in the end it cost twice as much as promised. What a bazinga! If you’re in Seville for more than a day you’ll probably find yourself wandering this way, and if they’re within a couple of minutes by all means go to see them. Better spend your time at alcazar and Cathedral, or even carefully planning an (admittedly full-on) day trip to Granada to see the Alhambra

If you’re looking for views over Seville, the Space Metropol Parasol, or “the Mushroom” at La Encarnación square is surely the place to go. It opened a few years ago and it’s one of Seville’s newest and coolest things to see. We planned to take a stroll around the upper levels to get a totally unique perspective over the city as well as a view of some of Seville’s best architecture. For 3 Euro per person you get to ride an elevator to the top saving time and your legs. The “Mushroom” is a bit controversial due to its unique abstract architecture in the middle of this historic area. I would venture to guess that this was commissioned to be built to save this area from commercial buildings. In fact at the level beneath the street we paid 2 Euro to tour the underground Roman ruins which surely benefitted from the protection of the Mushroom above. Regardless of why it is here, I am glad we went. I loved the honeycomb architecture and the circuitous walk on top where I could photograph many aspects of yet another area of Seville.

I had researched places to go over Christmas before visiting Seville in January and the entry fee for this attraction was 3 euros - this had risen to 5 euros in the new year shich is quite a large increase! However, the views from the walkway at the top are worth seeing and there is a lift to the top. We sat and enjoyed a drink at the cafe before descending. It wasn't very busy when we were there but it may well be crowded at sunset in the summer months. Worth a visit if in the area.

We booked online in advance for the 8pm light show which was 10 Euros each, there is a queue for tickets on the door so worth booking ahead and you can just scan your tickets and head straight in. It would have been nice if a family ticket or child discounts were available online but we could only find family tickets for the more expensive package to include the “finding Seville” movie which we didn’t want to do.
We arrived a bit early just as the sun was setting and got to enjoy the spectacular views over the city with the floodlit cathedral and all the churches of the city lit up. The light show starts at 8pm and seems to run continuously through the evening rather than being a timed event, it was very beautiful and relaxing. We spent just over an hour there and all the family including our teenagers really enjoyed it.

Biggest wooden structure in the world. With a 5€ ticket you can climb it - well be lifted up- to the top where gher is a 2 level circular walkway with city views. Evenings are busy although sunset is best.
If you want to avoid queues go in the morning. In the same place there is an antiquarium in the basement with roman ruins, and at street level market and children activities. You get a free postcard in the shop for every ticket purchased. 30/45 minutes time for enjoying it (not counting queueing).

From ground level this structure which opened in 2011 doesn’t look that significant but from above you realise just how it dominates the old city landscape (this is the district centre point). Hard to believe it’s also the largest wooden structure in the world (even though the panels look metal!). Entrance is 5 euros per adult and views from the walkways over the city and beyond are really worth the price in my opinion - you also get a free gift (postcard) from the gift shop with every ticket! There’s a cafe on the walkway level and an archeological museum on the ground floor (separate entrance fee of just over 2 euros).

We were intrigued by the architecture of 'Las Setas," and by a TV show that recommended we visit this attraction. However, be warned it will cost you 5 euro for an underwhelming view of the city. We found the queue to enter Las Setas down in the gloomy basement. There were no signs indicating the price. When we finally arrived at the front of the queue, we discovered the price. We went ahead and paid, despite our better judgment. If the price had been posted visibly, we would have avoided this tourist trap. Ride the crowded elevator to the top and see some fairly interesting architecture. The walk atop this structure will take about 10 minutes.

Good afternoon, first of all thank you very much for your comment. The entrance price to Mirador is published on our page and all our official sites, you can also find it at the autovending machine and at the ticket office, where you can also find an easy way out for all those who do not want to access. The entrance has no time limit, you can spend as much time as you want in our building. We are sorry you have had to wait the queues, there are many people who enjoy the visit, once more, we are sorry you didn't. Thank you very much

The architecture is quite impressive from a distance. Make sure you go up to the viewpoint. It costs 5 euros per person and in case you live in the city it's free. I .not sure about other EU nationalities. You'd better ask. The view from the top is amazing. You get to appreciate the magnificence of the building/monument + you get a 360 degree view of Seville

We visited in early January. We checked out the market on the ground floor first. Nothing special, typical market with butchers, seafood, and veggies. We then went downstairs to get up top. There was a line but it went quickly. The price seems to have increased for the new year, we paid 5 Euros each for entry but it did include a free post card from the gift shop. Once on top the views are amazing. It was a clear day and we were able to see for miles. You are able to walk all the way around for a panoramic view of the city. There is also a small cafe however, we did not partake so we can not comment on it. Definitely a must do when in Seville.

This huge wooden attraction in the middle of Seville is another quirky must see. The largest wooden structure in Europe. For 3 € you can walk on top for panoramic views of the city. Underneath is a Spanish food market with small food outlets.There are many bars and restaurants to take a drink and admire the Parasol in the Spanish sunshine ☀️
