Navigating this city can prove testing. Here’s our travel breakdown of the best ways to find your way through Seville. Seville is an extremely walkable city, with popular Seville day tours usually taken on foot. At a loss as to what to do in Seville? Take a wander through the small winding streets of the Jewish Quarter and stumble upon the Plaza de España – a spectacular spot to watch the sunset. Another way to see the city would be by bike. Sevici, Seville’s network of bike-hire stations, rents them out for as little as €1 per hour.
We wouldn’t recommend renting a car on your Seville day trips. The city is full of one-way streets and parking spots are hard to come by. If do choose to drive, be sure to have a GPS handy.
