At the Cathedral, you will see the Gothic interior, notable artworks, and Christopher Columbus’s tomb. The Giralda tower provides panoramic views of the historic center.

Puerta del Leon

Begin your small-group visit at the Puerta del León, the grand entrance to the Royal Alcázar. Admire its Gothic and Mudéjar details as your guide introduces the royal stories and architectural wonders waiting inside.

Real Alcazar de Sevilla

Step into the heart of the Alcázar with your small group and admire the Palacio Mudéjar, a masterpiece of Mudéjar architecture filled with ornate details, geometric patterns, and centuries of royal history. Discover the opulent Royal Apartments, still used by the Spanish monarchy, and learn how history, power, and royal life continue to shape this remarkable palace. Stroll through the expansive gardens of the Alcázar, featuring lush greenery, fountains, and hidden paths that offer a peaceful glimpse into royal life. Game of Thrones fans may also recognize parts of the palace and gardens as the Water Gardens of Dorne.
