It is the largest Gothic temple in the world and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Seville, which also houses another of the great historical legacies of the city: the Giralda. We are talking about the Cathedral of Seville, a monumental space (whose roofs can be visited in these recommended guided tours) that visitors can discover for free if they know how.
General admission to the Cathedral is 13 euros (14 at the box office), although the Cabildo reminds us of the various alternatives available to discover this formidable example of Gothic architecture and its treasures.
In fact, in 2024 there will be more than 211,311 free accesses, 11% more than in 2023 (190,000 visitors discovered the cathedral for free).
Exploring it is, in fact, one of those things you have to do in Seville (at least) once in your life. Here’s how to enjoy it twice as much: without breaking the bank.
