Before visiting this beautiful city, it is important to chose the right period. From September to June is the best period to visit, because of the climate. The temperatures go between 16 and 32 degrees. From Oktober until March, it rains the most, but in these months you won't see so many tourists. If you want to book a hotel with a swimming pool, please note that they mostly open the swimming pool in Juni until November.
The months you have to avoid are Juni, July and August, because the temperatures can rise to 50 degrees. In July and August there is also no rain, so it is very dry and boiling hot.
If you are a nature lover, the first weeks of April are the best, because loads of trees are blooming. The oranges were taken from the orange trees in March, so in April you will be able to smell the delicious smell of these flowers.
You can always take a cab, but this is the most expensive way to get there. If you like public transport, you can take the EA bus to the centre. This one way ticket or return ticket can be bought on the bus and is a very easy and cheap way to get to the airport.
If you don't like public transport, we advise you to reserve a Blablacar. Blablacar has its own app and website. Just make a profile, search for your driver, book the transfer and off you go! You can compare this to Uber and it is as cheap as taking the public transport.
In Seville most of the inhabitants only speak Spanish. Only few of them speak a tiny bit of English. If you want to get to know some locals, it is recommended to have studied some Spanish before visiting the city. This will make the conversations and the visit easier.
A fun way to learn the language is via Duolingo. By using this app, you will learn vocabulary and grammar. You can practice via Duolingo via the app, on the internet, or via Facebook.

This neighbourhood of Seville used to be the oldest Jewish quarter of the city. It contains a lot of small streets where you will get lost and some cosy patios and places with lovely bars and restaurants. The area was not always as pretty as it is today, because in the fifteenth century they had to leave the town or convert to catholicism. If not, they were burned alive. In 1929 there was the Ibero-American Exposition, an at this time they renovated the whole area so it would look greater than before. The best time to go to Santa Cruz is in the evening, while most of the tourists stay in the city centre. It is also nice to combine a relaxing evening walk in the Murillo park with a walk through Santa Cruz.
If you want to experience a local festival, the Seville Fair https://www.visitasevilla.es/en/history/feria-de-abril is really the place to be! During this fair, loads of families gather together at the festival area at Los Remedios. There they celebrate for one week in Casetas. These are wooden houses with their own bar, live bands and security guards. At this festival you will also find ten public casetas, which are open for tourists. At this festival you will learn to dance the Sevillana, eat the traditional tapas and taste the local drinks. There is also a huge fair, where the kids can have a good time!
