About
For a more authentic and decidedly less well-scrubbed experience, it’s worth crossing the river to explore this scruffy but vibrant old quarter, historically the centre of azulejo, or glazed-tile production. There are plenty of tapas bars for sustenance to sustain your ceramic shopping, and it’s fun to seek out the surviving corrales. These tiny buildings with flower-smothered courtyards once housed extended the gypsy families from which emerged Spain’s greatest flamenco dynasties.

- VanessaLytham St Anne's, United Kingdom4,486 contributionsVibrate old town vibe. Great bars and restaurants.We visited here a couple of times, crossing the river and wandering around for a few hours. The mercado is worth popping into as are some of the old bars and restaurants. It comes to life at night, we would probably stay in this area next time we visit Seville. The walk along the river is lovely.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 6, 2023
- RjessMMMVancouver, Washington592 contributionsCeramic paradiseQuite a special place to visit and simply walk around. Our primary goal was to visit the numerous ceramic shops there and there were numerous to visit. We did end up buying some smaller pieces particularly Christmas ornaments and the prices were reasonable. There were numerous larger objects that we contemplated but just the thought of lugging them around for the rest of the trip gave us angina so we passed. We will without a doubt visit again the next time we are in the area. I would recommend getting there by taxi or Uber if you are over a mile away. We stayed near the train station and Uber worked wonderfully to get us exactly where we wanted to go. EnjoyVisited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 12, 2023

To reach Triana in style, you must cross the bridge, Puente Triana also known as Puente Isabel II, on foot to admire the vistas of the Guadalquivir and then discover the architecture of the area, not as grand as in other barrios de Sevilla, but the narrow meandering streets do have a charm of their own. The market place is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds too! The Museo de la Inquisicion is a must for those who want to understand the history of Sevilla and what happened to the unfortunate prisoners. The Museo de la Ceramica is well worth a detour to realise the artistic savoir-faire in the azulejos is not that easily achieved.

A Midlife Adventure

A trip to Seville is not complete without venturing across one of the bridges to Triana. Since Roman times this area of Seville has been famous for pottery.
We took a walk through the traditional narrow streets, with beautiful tiled houses and flower filled outdoor displays which presented a reprieve from the activity across the river in the centre of Seville.
There are still workshops producing and selling tiles and pottery but be aware they tend to close for siesta. There are plenty of inviting cafes, restaurants and bars spilling out onto the streets which somehow have a different atmosphere to anywhere else we had experienced in Seville.
We also took a walk along the riverbank and settled into a small cafe/restaurant overlooking the water. If you want something a bit more expensive and exclusive then keep walking and you will find some more private choices to eat.
As a midlife adventurer this was honestly one of our favourite parts of the trip to Seville and if we had our time over again, despite this area being the furthest away from the train station, we would have found an Air BnB here and happily stayed.

To lighten our lunch load we went on a walk along the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Looking across the river we could see Moorish buildings, baroque architecture and shops on the opposite side that were located in a portion of the Triana District, known as the Andalusian capital’s Gypsy quarter. This area is often thought of as the most vibrant area of the city, as it is famous for its flamenco and painted local craft stalls that line the streets. The beautiful Triana Bridge beckoned but we had plans to explore a bullring.

With 3 days in Seville, we had time to explore a little further beyond the Real Alcazar and the Cathedral so we decided to do a looped walk through Triana, which is famous for its ceramics and azulejos tiles.
A couple of hours was enough to see the following:
i) We started at the Puente Isabella II, the bridge that crosses the Guadalquivir River. This brought us right into the heart of Triana.
ii) The first thing you see from the bridge is the Capila del Carmen, a tiny but beautiful chapel
iii) The Mercado de Triana (local market) was on our right as we came off the bridge. We should have gone earlier. We went after midday and most things were closing.
iv) Next we went to the Museo Del Castilo San Jorge, a small free museum inside the remains of a 12th century castle. The market was built over the top of it, so it’s hidden away underneath the market. The steps down to the entrance are next to the market doors, just as you leave the bridge. The most interesting thing is that for over 300 years the castle was the headquarters of the Spanish Inquisition. There’s an exhibition inside and entry is free.
v) Afterwards we wandered around some of the narrow lanes, looking out for colourful, interesting tiled decorations on the houses and walls and we stopped at some of the ceramics shops, esp Ceramica Triana / Ceramica Santa Ana.
vi) Finally we headed back to the bridge along Calle San Jacinto, stopping along the way for a drink and a couple of tapas plates.

Triana is like a separate entity in this city, people born in this neighbourhood don't feel Sevillanos. Old, stylish, so charming, this quarter is also the place to be for those who are looking for real, traditional tapas experiences. My tapas tour in Triana at night was unforgettable.

We read about this being a really historic district where people who weren’t allowed to live in Seville went to live. Home of pottery workshops and many stores selling beautiful works unlike what you see in the souvenir shops. The fruit and vegetables market is also worth a look - it closes at three. Cross the river, it’s worth it!

A great place to get away from the main tourist places with a pleasant walk across the river. Love the market with all the beautiful fresh produce and places to sit and sample the seafood. Walking around the streets is very interesting as it is a residential area so good to see how people live there. The ceramic museum is worth a visit and having a good look around at all the buildings with their tiles and window boxes full of brightly coloured flowers. Good restaurants to eat and drink in too.

Without the spectacularness of the Santa Cruz neighborhood, it charms by its well-sevilled flavor, expressed in its streets, bars and restaurants, but especially by its people. The devotion to the Virgin of the Star (the brotherhood originated in the 16th century) rewarded us with a striking procession. I recommend the view of the Triana skyline from across the Guadalquivir and cross the Triana Bridge or Isabel II on foot.

An old working-class neighborhood on a peninsula between the Guadalquivir river and the canal is an enjoyable area to stroll around. There used to be a sizeable Romani community living here (displaced by city 'developers' in the 1960s and 70s) which contributed so much to flamenco culture. Construction workers, sailors, bull fighters and potters used to form the main groups of inhabitants, but the area is gradually gentrified. Especially the areas close to the canal like Betis street now house many restaurants, bars and hotels. Don't miss the Mercado and Calle San Jacinto pedestrian zone.

Donde recomendais comer en triana? Vamos con niños. Me han dicho las gaviotas¿alguna sugerencia más?
Written September 29, 2019
El bistec la plazuela de Santa Ana, El Blanca Paloma en San Jacinto. En la parte peatonal de San Jacinto hay varios en los que sirven el tradicional pescaito frito. Un poco mas retirado del centro está también el Pura Tasca (restaurante), o el Trianilla (tapeo). El mercado Gourmet del Barranco (al otro lado del puente de Triana) tiene multiples posibilidades de elección. En todos los niños comerian bien, aunque no estén expresamente acondicionados para ellos.

Triana sounds perfect for my husband and me. I'd appreciate suggestions for where to stay there. Our preference is for small, friendly and quiet, not "luxury" but not "budget," either. Recommendations for where to eat are very welcome, too. Thanks!
Written June 12, 2019
We didn't stay in Triana,but went to stroll around,dine in the evening and again for coffees the following day.
There are so many places to stay and you can easily cover the city on foot.
What I did notice was that some hotels in and around the cathedral area had roof top pools,looked lovely! Spotted from the cathedral tower...:)

How do I get to Tirana from the alameda using public transportation.
Written May 12, 2017
walking is the best option and taking a taxi if tired.
As to public transport : the TUSSAM buses (downloadable website with plan in Spanish ) run from north/south outside the ancient city on the western and eastern side. Only bus 5 runs through the center. So from Alameda go to calle Torneo. At the busstops the route is clearly indicated. Nearly every bus going south passes near Triana or trough Triana. Tickets available on the bus.
One or three day passes available at the main busstations.

Written February 17, 2016
coincido con los demás viajeros ,Triana es precioso para visitar la zona del lado del rió (calle btis) es la mas turística,te recomiendo una cena con las niñas al lado del rió,después una visita a casa Anselma.
Pero para alojarte lo encuentro un poco apartado del centro.
nosotras estuvimos en un hotel muy familiar,limpio y económico y quedaba cerca de todos los monumentos se llama Sevilla-Madrid recomendable 100% si vas con familia es tranquilo y la única pega es que solo te sirven desayuno y no tienes mueble bar para refrescar unas bebidas para las niñas.
Espero te resulte útil la información ,y disfrutar Sevilla es mágica.

Me recomiendan triana como sitio para conocer Sevilla en cinco días? Gracias desde Bilbao
Written December 29, 2015
Triana es un gran sitio donde quedarse para conocer Sevilla:
- Puedes conocer el barrio de Triana, en el se encuentra: La Iglesia de Santa Ana ( conocido como la Catedral de Triana), podrás pasear por la calle Betis, y tomar una tapita en "La primera del Puente" o en Abades, a la orilla del Guadalquivir, En esta orilla, también podrás visitar el Museo de Carruajes (ubicado en el antiguo convento de los Remedios, Plaza de Cuba).
Tienes la Capilla de la Esperanza de Triana, La Iglesia de la O, la Parroquia de San Gonzalo y El Cachorro.... y entre iglesias puedes tapear en las Golondrinas (unas puntas de solomillo) y en el Sol y Sombra, camino de la zona más moderna de esta orilla, la Isla de la Cartuja, donde podrás visitar la antigua fábrica de la Cartuja con sus simbólicas chimeneas, el museo de Arte Contemporáneo y el Pabellón de la Navegación.
Antes de cruzar el puente de Triana ( situado donde el antiguo puente de barcas), podrás visitar el tradicional mercado de Triana, visitar las ruinas del Antiguo Castillo de San Jorge (Castillo de la Inquisición) y ver la capillita de la Virgen del Carmen antes de cruzar a "la orilla de Sevilla".
- al otro lado podrás visitar la Catedral ( la de estilo gótico más grande del mundo) con la Giralda, Reales Alcázares (Palacio Real europeo más antiguo en uso). La torre del Oro, convertida en museo, y la menos conocida Torre de la Plata.
- Las dos maestranzas, la Plaza de toros (con museo) y el teatro con una amplia planificación a lo largo de todo el año.
- otro sitio realmente fantástico para visitar, es el Museo de Bellas Artes ubicado en un antiguo convento.....
Todos son lugares accesibles paseando desde Triana... y muchos lugares más 100 por 100 recomendables.

Hi
We are visiting the Ribera De Triana hotel in July and I have heard the parking at the hotel is very expensive.
Did you happen to see if there is any free street parking around that area?
Cheers
Mark
Written March 13, 2015
Hi Mark,
As othera havew advised there is plenty of street parking around the hotel area so you can park up there. Only word of caution would be that the streets are a bit narrow and there might be the possibility of a bump as driving is ...err...eccentric in narrow areas. Might be worth google mapping public car parks around the are (you're not too far from the Expo 92 site).
The City's public transport system is very good and to be honest most of the sites are easily walkable and Triana is very safe if you want to walk (the restauarants and bars are terrific and cheaper than the tourist hot spots around the Cathedral and Plaza de Espana.
Hope this helps and enjoy the visit. It is a wonderful and freindly city.
Best wishes
The Grumpys
