Located in the southwest region of Spain, on the Guadalquivir River , SEVILLE is the fourth largest city in Spain. It is the commercial and industrial center of the region of Andalusia. Its pleasant climate and historical landmarks make it one of Spain's most popular tourist attractions.
With its narrow, winding streets and white-washed houses with their wrought-iron balconies, all contribute to Sevilla's charm.
Places to visit include: The Cathedral and its Giralda Tower, The Plaza de Espana, Alcazar and the Golden Tower, all of which were included in our Bus tour.
Hans and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. There was so much MORE to see, but they can only fit so much into one day. I have documented what we did on the tour in my "Things to Do" Tips section. Enjoy!
One of the biggest Cathedrals in the world is THE CATHEDRAL OF SEVILLE. Actually its the third largest Christian Cathedral after St. Peter's in the Vatican and St. Paul's in London. It was HUGE. I was just blown away at how enormous it was. Its total building surface is 23,500 square metres.
Its construction, in the Gothic style, was begun in 1402 and took more than a hundred years to build.
In the Cathedral are many great paintings and a monument to Christopher Columbus.
Built by the Moors between 1221 and 1222, the TORRE DEL ORO or Golden Tower, was once a part of the city wall and was used as a watchtower. It is quite an impressive structure with its 12 - sided tower sitting on the edge of the Guadalquivir River. The Boat tour, begins near this location. There is also a small Maritime museum inside.
- Pros:A Beautiful, Charming City
- Cons:Would like to have spent more time there

Great tour of Sevilla! It looks like a lovely town, and I especially like Plaza de España with the 58 tiled benches.
Lovely page Lori! The Plaza De Espana, Gold Tower and treasures look spectacular! I enjoyed the wonderful tour!
Very nice Toro del Oro Tower of Gold --- I wonder if it was painted gold be4..but yes, agree that this is such a charming place..so much to explore in Spain! Viva Espana!
Excellent page. Sevilla looks like a wonderful city with so much great architecture. Like you, I especially liked the tiled benches and the Azulejos. I think I'd be very tempted to take the boat trip.
Hi LoriPori I can't believe that I never looked at this page yet Sevilla is a great City eh and you made a very nice page about it
Marvellous Sevilla page! The city has wonderful tourist attractions made popular by its lovely architectures especially the Cathedral, La Giralda, Golden Tower and the Monument to Christopher Columbus. Thanks for sharing. ~ho & pang
Thanks Lori for bringing back sweet memories about this magnificient place! I saw a lot there including Gualquivir tour... I've been there three monthes after you in April,2006. Giralda and Alcasar are still in my mind...
Well documented tips on Sevilla and Ronda. Did you visit Cordoba and its Mezquitta-Cathedral? A wonderful monument.
Sevilla is one of these destinations that we must absolutely visit but have not yet. Your excellent page helps to wait!
Fantastic page, info and pictures on the city I liked a lot. Thanks for refreshing my great memories :-)
