Sevilla – Daytrip from Marbella
Discover Andalusia’s most vibrant city – a day full of history, culture and charm just a few hours from the Costa del Sol.
A perfect daytrip from Marbella
A visit to Seville from Marbella is one of the most rewarding experiences in southern Spain.
In just over two hours, you’ll find yourself immersed in a city bursting with energy, flamenco rhythms, and architectural wonders that reflect centuries of Moorish and Spanish heritage.
From the impressive Cathedral and Giralda Tower to the romantic Plaza de España and picturesque Santa Cruz district — Seville is a feast for all senses and a must-see for anyone exploring Andalusia.
Marvel at the Plaza de España
Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, this semicircular square with its bridges, canals, and colorful tiles is one of Seville’s most iconic sights.
Take a stroll along its arcades or rent a small boat for a short ride through the canal.
Climb the Giralda Tower
Once a minaret and now the bell tower of Seville Cathedral, the Giralda offers stunning panoramic views of the city.
The gentle ramps instead of stairs make the climb surprisingly easy and well worth the effort.
Wander through the Santa Cruz District
Lose yourself in the narrow streets of Seville’s old Jewish quarter, where whitewashed houses, orange trees, and small patios create an authentic Andalusian atmosphere.
It’s the perfect area for tapas, local shops, and photography.
Visit the Royal Alcázar of Seville
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Europe’s oldest royal palaces still in use.
Its exquisite Mudejar architecture, gardens, and courtyards make it one of Spain’s most breathtaking monuments.
