The weekend is here, and with it comes leisure and the best plans the cultural calendar has to offer. Discover this selection of plans—some outdoors to make the most of Seville’s (almost always) sunny weather: getaways, dining outings, openings, exhibitions, or premieres. In short, a list of options and alternatives so that this weekend, all you have to worry about is enjoying yourself in Seville.
Two major themed events kick off the Christmas season in Seville: the lighting of the Christmas lights, of course—there’s already an estimated date for 2026—and the Nativity Scene Fair.
The Seville Nativity Scene Merchants Association (ACOBE) is once again organizing this popular craft fair between Seville Cathedral and the Archivo de Indias. This 33rd edition kicks off this weekend and runs from November 7 through December 22.
This year’s fair features 12 exhibitors where, as tradition dictates, vendors will offer their handcrafted nativity scene products.
Stunning scenes, mechanisms that set windmills and rivers in motion, livestock and characters of all kinds, and tiny details ranging from little bread rolls to strings of garlic or cured meats.
Next Wednesday, October 28, marks the start of the 2026 edition of the Seville Book Fair (FELISE), the highly anticipated celebration of books and a gathering for readers and authors. More than a hundred activities, book signings, and talks will take place at this significant event, which runs through November 8.
For the third consecutive year, the fair will be held in the idyllic Murillo Gardens.
The event will bring together 55 exhibitors, including bookstores, publishers, and institutions, spread throughout the venue.
Following its run at the Venice Film Festival, this immersive virtual reality experience—which recreates the historic 1953 expedition to Mount Everest—is having its world premiere in Seville (and other cities like Barcelona). In it, we’ll accompany climbers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on an adventure that begins in Kathmandu and ends at an altitude of over 8,000 meters with spectacular views.
The Patio de la Diputación, already a well-known hub for culture and gastronomy on weekends, will host the 5th edition of the Provincial Artisanal Ceramics Fair on November 7 and 8.
The Department of Culture and Citizenship organizes this event, which is part of the “Province Exhibition” and “Towns in the Heart of Seville,” and admission is free.
An exhibition of ceramic pieces to get a firsthand look at Sevillian artisans and their craftsmanship. Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase these pieces. For the 2026 edition, the event will feature Turkey as the guest country.
In recent years, the Andalusian capital has become a cultural hub, allowing Sevillians to enjoy both established and brand-new cultural activities. Seville is brimming with art, avant-garde creativity, and innovation in these diverse exhibitions, which foster a rich dialogue between artists and viewers.

Álvaro Ocaña, named Spain’s Best Fromelier in 2024, opened the ultimate destination for cheese lovers in Seville last fall. Raza is a beautiful space at 9 Calle Jáuregui, halfway between Puerta Osario and Ponce de León, dedicated exclusively to this delicacy.
Dozens of cheese varieties, plus a myriad of wines to complement your tastings at home or those held here every month.
Raza is organizing workshops and tastings to sample national and international cheeses and discover which wine best complements each one.
The next session will take place this Friday, October 30, at 8:30 p.m. or at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, and costs €35 per person.
Historic buildings grace the grand avenues, and some even have a story to tell inside. Such is the case with Álvaro Dávila’s house, a beautiful building designed by the prolific Aníbal González across from Seville Cathedral, which today houses the Hotel Serras and Seville’s brand-new dining destination: Fismuler.
A couple of details to help the reader picture this gem. Regional architecture, brick, and tiles—and on its corner, an iconic spiral staircase.
What once seemed slightly forgotten now boasts attractive display windows, behind which lie offerings to admire and savor.
Fismuler has opened its fifth location in Seville’s historic center, in the building that the Sevillian architect constructed between 1915 and 1917. It does so ten years after launching in Madrid; it already has locations in Barcelona, Lisbon, and Andorra.
Candlelight raises its candles to illuminate some of the city’s most incredible locations, from the Seville Aquarium auditorium to the Casino de la Exposición. Seville, in this case, offers a full musical program every weekend as an integral part of its nightlife.
This weekend, one of the summer’s most original events comes to Seville: “Space Explorers: The ISS Experience” opens its doors at Eclipso Cultural Adventures (Calle Mirador, 1), featuring real 360° footage recorded by NASA astronauts.
No graphics or reconstructions: you’ll walk through the modules of the International Space Station, take part in spacewalks, and gaze at Earth from orbit as if you were actually there.
The Andalusian capital has that unique ability to draw you in—it’s hard to resist, no matter how skeptical you might be about letting yourself go. And Seville’s outdoor terraces, packed with people everywhere, fill the city with a desire to linger under the sun, under the stars, and under the outdoor tables.
There’s something for everyone, from the cosmopolitan to the most bohemian, and they all have that certain je ne sais quoi that makes us happy (even if they lead us to the inevitable effect of putting on a show).
Seville Cathedral lets you enjoy its heritage in a wide variety of ways. During mass, by climbing the Giralda, exploring the rooftops or the stained-glass windows, or letting yourself be swept away by its unique guided night tours. Because stepping through its imposing doors when the city is already asleep—and during the off-season—is undoubtedly a whole other level.
The world’s largest Gothic cathedral offers this exclusive experience, which takes place every Saturday. It’s the perfect opportunity to delve into the history of Seville Cathedral, its best-kept secrets, and the magic of the Magna Hispalensis under the moonlight.
Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, or Super Mario. Those arcade machines from the ’80s where you’d spend hours playing without even blinking have reappeared in Seville as “Arcade Planet,” a venue set up in Dos Hermanas featuring every arcade game you can imagine.
Or, in other words: Spain’s largest video game expo and one of the most important in all of Europe.
Treats for Two at AIRE Ancient Baths
The renowned experiences offered by AIRE Ancient Baths are well-known to many, and having a temple in Seville is truly a privilege.
Rejuvenating baths, serene pools nestled within a 16th-century palace in the heart of the Santa Cruz neighborhood, and exquisite massages. This and more—its infinity pool overlooking the Giralda is another major draw—make AIRE Ancient Baths a surefire treat.
The newly launched Weekend Brunch at Only YOU Hotel Sevilla is one of the most appealing ways to kick off the weekend. Every Saturday and Sunday, the hotel hosts this sumptuous feast (from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.), which includes seven courses, a cocktail, coffee, juice, and live music at one of the city’s most beautiful hotels.
We’ve compiled a list of timeless activities awaiting you in the city beyond this weekend. Up to 50 suggestions to experience over the course of a lifetime or on your next visit to the city. By the way, all of them are practically affordable for any budget.
Take a stroll through downtown Seville and discover the events that shook its residents to the core. You’ll learn a little more about the rich history of the Santa Cruz neighborhood. A guide will recount the stories of the Romans, Arabs, Jews, and Christians—as well as some mysteries and ghosts. Fifteen stops and a guided tour through Seville’s history.
The most monumental of Seville’s palaces is also one of the most popular. During the summer, it hosts an interesting cultural program that extends into the early days of fall. In any case, exploring it is a must-see for visitors and locals alike.
And doing so without waiting in lines, thanks to Fever, is one of the best options and a fantastic plan for this coming weekend in Seville.
