The Andalusian capital has that particular capacity of absorption difficult to avoid, even if one is skeptical to get carried away. And the terraces in Seville, full of people and everywhere fill the city with the desire to hang out under the sun, under the stars, under the sails.
There are terraces for all tastes, from the cosmopolitan to the most bohemian and all of them have that something that makes us happy (even if they lead us to the irrevocable effect of postureo).
The city of Seville keeps for itself spectacular places where you can have a drink, organize a dinner or start the night with the best views. The Sevillian terraces are an anthropological necessity and today we discover the best terraces in Seville so you don’t lose the habit.
1. The terrace of EME
The renowned architect Juan Pedro Donaire restored the 14 houses of the sixteenth century that housed this building and the result is a marvel.
15 meters separate an innocent cocktail from the Cathedral of Seville, the largest Gothic temple in the world. Its terrace is simply extraordinary and that luxury is also paid for. Of course, you can practically touch the buttresses with the fingers of your hands.
📍 c/ Alemanes, 27
2. Doña María Terrace
This iconic hotel was founded in 1969 and enjoys the privilege of coming face to face with the imposing Giralda. For 19 years it has been the accommodation itself who manages the terrace, divided into three spaces with capacity to accommodate 50, 60 and 100 people, respectively.
In addition to enjoying incredible views of the Cathedral, the Plaza Virgen de los Reyes or the domes of El Salvador, you have the opportunity to snoop (during the trip to the heights) this palace house that, according to what they say, hides subway passages that connect with the Reales Alcázares.
📍 c/ Don Remondo, 19
3. ‘El mirador de Sevilla’ at Vincci La Rábida
Looking out over the city is a pleasure from the heights of the Hotel Vincci La Rábida. The viewpoint of Seville premieres a renewed and fresher image and a new menu for the summer. Thus, panoramic views, gastronomy and live music become the perfect combination to liven up your nights in the coming months.
📍 c/ Castelar, 24
4. Ático
That this jungle Eden is located beyond the vicinity of the cathedral is appreciated. Ático boasts mind-blowing views of Calle Betis, the Triana bridge and also the Giralda and looks like one of the best areas to have a drink in Reyes Católicos.
📍c/ Reyes Católicos, 25
5. Maria Trifulca
Another Sevillian restaurant that guarantees a dream location and views is Maria Trifulca. On the old Triana lighthouse stands this spectacular restaurant next to the Isabel II Bridge overlooking the Guadalquivir, Betis street and the entire Arenal neighborhood. A perfect plan to extend the meal or start the evening with a few drinks.
📍 Puente de Triana, Pl. del Altozano, 1
6. La Casa del Estanque
The Jardines de las Delicias are the environment that turns this terrace into a most idyllic corner. We recommend it especially in summer and not only to have a drink, but to taste some of its gourmet tapas accompanied by a glass of wine.
The idiosyncrasy of the place invites to celebrate so, as expected, weddings and parties of all kinds are also held in this space.
📍 Paseo de las Delicias, s/n
7. Eurostars Sevilla Boutique
The Santa Cruz neighborhood has it all. The carefree, the winding streets, the esparto grass, the jewelry stores and the privileged space of history. It is the heart of Seville and it has no shortage of terraces. The one related to this luxury hotel, the Eurostars Sevilla Boutique, is a delight that crowns this ancient palace of the sixteenth century.
📍 c/ Abades 41-43
8. UNUK
The Hotel Unuk Soho stands out for several reasons but especially for being a pioneer in the implementation of new technologies as well as systems that guarantee energy efficiency. Thanks to its services, the client will enjoy a completely avant-garde experience.
But guests will be able to indulge in much more in view of the weather that is expected in the coming weeks. Take a dip in the saltwater pool with views of the Giralda or enjoy a cocktail in the sun loungers on the solarium or at the magnificent bar.
📍 c/ Ortiz de Zúñiga, 8
9. Pura Vida
At the top of this luxury hotel is one of the best terraces in Seville. The gastronomic offer ranges from classic Spanish tapas to daring Asian fusions.
In addition to its culinary offerings, this space also hosts a variety of activities. The outdoor concerts are one of the flagships and an event not to be missed.
📍 c/ Segovias, 6 (Hotel Los Seises Fontecruz)
10. Gourmet Experience El Corte Inglés
On the top floor of the El Corte Inglés shopping center in Plaza del Duque, there is, for some years now, a space dedicated to the most exclusive gastronomy. It has a gourmet store and the terrace serves the different establishments on the fifth floor. So you can get a good snack from Manu Jara or enjoy a cocktail or a vermouth.
📍 Pl. del Duque de Victoria, 8
11. Hotel Inglaterra
More than 200 square meters and capacity for up to 100 people. Such are the dimensions of the classic terrace-viewpoint of the Hotel Inglaterra. An essential place to have a vermouth, have lunch, attend concerts or other events or to let yourself go for an afternoon of gin and tonics. In addition, they also offer the possibility of using the terrace for private celebrations.
📍 Plaza Nueva, 7
12. New York Pier
Located in the well-known Muelle de Nueva York, it is a highly recommended place to enjoy the breeze of the river from early afternoon. The views of the Remedios contribute to the charm of this terrace where time flies.
📍 Paseo de las Delicias, s/n
13. Lonja del Barranco Terrace
The gastronomic space offered by the Lonja del Barranco Market is also a must if you are looking for a large space where finding a place is not mission impossible. This is one of the best terraces in Seville if you are looking for comfort: its 1500 square meters of avant-garde, varied culinary proposals and the best atmosphere make this place a reference point and Sojo Terraza is its chill out bet.
📍 c/ Arjona, s/n
14. Quimera Food & Pool
The Meliá Sevilla has an elegant snack bar next to its pool that turns this corner overlooking the Plaza de España into an urban Eden to unwind. It is only open for dinner during the summer season, when this space is transformed into a restaurant with healthy cuisine prepared barbecue style. The perfect plan for a summer evening.
📍 c/ Doctor Pedro de Castro, 1
