To be honest, it was a bit disappointing. I've climbed many a tower whilst on holiday and found this one a bit disappointing if I'm honest. It was a busy day so took about 35 minutes to get to the top. The views are OK although the bells are probably more interesting. I think I was hoping to see a bit more of the external roof structure but you can't as the maority of the windows are boarded up. Very easy access though as the entire tower is one slope - there are no steps. It's so they could use a donkey to get to the top - strange but true!

I tend to hate ancient towers to climb in Europe but this one is different- you must do it ! Instead of knee withering steps you get a smooth ramp to walk up which is surprisingly bearable. The crowds slow you down with many stops so we reached the top without breaking a sweat. The only steps are ten at the top - nice ! Great views and fun to be up there when the giant bells bong

The best part about this bell tower is that it has ramps rather than stairs, so almost anyone can climb the 34 ramps to the top. There are also window alcoves on each level, so you can stop and take photos. The views from the top are obstructed by metal screens, but they are still great views! If you take the audio guide for the Catedral, the Giralda is one of the first stops, as it is directly inside the entrance.

The Cathedral was nice but the tower was a bit better as you got a nice view of the city. Only issue is the climb. It isn't hard but very slow moving and lots of people/traffic. Otherwise we got timed tickets to go inside. We had no trouble getting into the tower and no line up but it seemed others did. The Cathedral was nice but there are nicer ones in Spain.

There are ramps in the 4 sides of the tower, you tramp up 30 odd of them to the top. I got my ticket along with my timed cathedral ticket. So, you do need a level of fitness, there are places to pause if you need it. The views are worth the effort, although I preferred the torre d'oro, because it's nearer the river.

Worth the gentle cimb, depending on your pace with breaks along the way with extra view points, only a few steps at the end. It's well worth it as the views and building are fantastic. We were up there when the bells went off which made everyone jump and giggle. Make sure you add this to your purchase if you queue with tickets on the day. It opens at 11 and we were in a short queue at 10.20am but worth it as the queue builds up quickly if you haven't pre booked. The only disappointment is the lack of guidance from the Spanish assistants and their lack of direction. This tower is located within the cathedral. Make sure you don't leave before exiting.

This was a much easier walk than Duomo in Florence. There are ramps instead of stairs for many of the levels, so I was glad not to be huffing and puffing my way up and could keep pace with everyone else. The views from the top are amazing and definitely worth the climb!

The fabulous Giralda Tower was originally the minaret for the mosque built on this site. When the Christians reconquered Spain and built the current huge cathedral, they repurposed the beautiful tower to be used as the cathedral's bell tower. The tower stands 104 meters high.

34 floors all linked by a series of slopes rather than stairs (until close to the top). The view from the top is stunning but you have to be quite clever in getting a picture through the mesh. Helpful member of staff who told us where to stand to see the mushroom.
