Seville is unmanageable, even more so if we only have a weekend. Therefore, we invite you to follow our recommendations to make the most of 48 hours in Seville. We know that a weekend can be very short if we want to discover in depth a city like Seville. But don’t worry, it’s enough to see the essentials, fall in love with the city and come back in time. Here is our proposal:
Breakfast at the Setas
Early breakfast is a good idea if we want to make the most of our experience in Seville. And to gather strength in the vicinity of Las Setas (right in the center of the city), we recommend the copious sandwiches of Bar Er Tito (c/ José Gestoso, 11) or the proposal of La cacharrería (c/ Regina, 14).

Morning tour
Stroll through the alfalfa until you reach the Cathedralof Seville. It is possible that the path will reveal one of the most beautiful squares in Seville, the Salvador, presided over by the church with the same name.
The visit to the cathedral and the Giralda are an essential stop, so get in line and get ready for an unprecedented visual enjoyment. You’ll probably be exhausted with so much beauty, and for that there’s nothing better than strolling through the Barrio de Santa Cruz and the Sevillian Jewish quarter. Check here the top sites. If halfway you feel like taking a break, have a glass of wine in the tavern Álvaro Peregil (c/ Mateos Gago, 22).
After recharging your batteries, go to the Real fábrica de tabacos, an emblematic building that has become the rectorate of the University of Seville. Stroll through its courtyards and soak up the university atmosphere within the walls of this particular Andalusian Hogwarts.
Lunch in the center
Continue along San Fernando street to the legendary Hotel Alfonso XIII, a place where stars of all kinds have stayed. Once there, go to Puerta Jerez and cross the Avenida de la Constitución.
In the center there are plenty of options for a gastronomic feast (not necessarily at the price of gold). In any case, we compile some proposals that never disappoint in Seville: Bodeguita Romero (c/ Harinas, 10) or El Rinconcillo (c/ Gerona, 40).

Breakfast in the Alameda
We know that the first 24 hours have been hard and that breakfast is essential for you to be at the foot of the cannon, so get ready for a feast with multiple options. Seville’s Alameda offers locals and tourists alike the feeling of being at home with its many cafes, bars with terraces and its great gastronomic proposal (breakfast included). In this sense, you can try Sra Pop, the cakes and toasts of Gigante Bar, El Piola or Viajero Sedentario.

Walk along Feria street
Lose yourself in the Alameda neighborhood, walk the fair street from end to end, discover its vintage stores, its second-hand bookstores or its antique stores that give life to the most famous flea market in the city every Thursday.
