Beautiful, charming, romantic city. Very safe, as a solo female traveller, I felt pretty comfortable walking alone at night. I recommend visiting these monuments both during the day and at night, it’s two completely different experiences. Musts places to visit in Sevilla : - La plaza de España 😍 Parque de Maria Luisa - Museo de bellas artes de Sevilla - Catedral de Sevilla + La Giralda - LAS SETAS!!! 🤩 (right before the sunset and at night) - a flamenco show (I suggest La Casa de la...

Seville has always been a special city for me. The golden light reflecting on the city, the deep blue sky, and its magnificent architecture make it one of the places I enjoy being in the most. Having adobo with a small cerveza is my favorite simple pleasure there. This city truly feels like a second home to me.

Very safe and cozy city. Great atmosphere, amazing architecture. Very slow paced lifestyle. Book main tickets (Alcazar, Cathedral) in advance if you want to visit. Alcazar totally worth it. The food is quite cheap.

I went to Seville for the ACDC concert, so I was only there for a couple of days. It was very easy to get from the airport to the center of the city, a bit harder to find your way on the streets. Pretty hard actually. But it was okay, it's such a beautiful city so I've had to see much wandering around. I felt very safe. It was only at one point I was holding my bag extra hard, late at night in a small alley and I saw like 2-3 guys walking in the opposite direction as me, but I don't think they...

I generally felt safe. Many people and myriad of tourists. I highly recommend buying tickets to museums and popular objects a few weeks in advance, since they sell out quickly. Must-see places are: Plaza de España; the Cathedral of Seville (beautiful view from the tower, which doesn’t have stairs, but rather ramps and thus is easier to climb into even for elders or disabled persons); Real Alcázar (has a standing queue from early in the morning in order to buy tickets if you missed them online,...

The city is beautiful and has a really vivid night life. There are many different things to explore and especially when you are into museums you need at least 2/3 days to see everything and don’t feeling rushed.

Sevilla was an amazing experience! The vibes were great & people very friendly! I really loved the flair that the orange trees give to this sunny city! Sharing Tapas with other Solo Travellers is a must do there! Just make sure to book your alcazar tickets in advance to not stand in a queue at 8am 🥲

I don’t think I ever have felt this safe in a big city. Not one single comment or look from other people, although I have not been out anything in the night. There is much to do and organizations who helps you with meeting new people and seeing the whole city!

Seville is a great beautiful city full of old architecture, streets, green blooming parks, with singing birds 🦚🦜swans 🦢 , little turtles 🐢. Really I don’t remember much of the names of the famous places. Anyway you’ll like it all I dare. So I just enjoyed the surface, the Spanish 🇪🇸 vibe, Looking around and soaking all in with my favorite food 🥘 paella’s, drinking sangria the only thing that make you cooling in a hot 🔥 siesta time in summer. Sevilla is very hot, but as I told there’s...

Sevilla is a very safe city. You can book Uber, Cabify or taxis in a very easy and cheap way. You should avoid uncertain zones which are very far away from the city centre. While staying in the centre you can feel safe and free

In the center or the tourist districts it is very safe. Public transportation is also very cheap. But the important thing is to avoid areas like “3000 viviendas”. Seville is very safe in other areas but that specific area is quite dangerous and there is also nothing touristy

I would describe Seville as a very safe city. Even though you have to walk a lot and also do so in the night, after going for the club for example, I always feel quite safe. So far nothing happened to me :)

About most touristic areas, nothing to worry about at all. Just take care of your belongings, in Plaza de España main square. I recommend u have a walk around the centre and Las Setas. Transport is very safe and often. I have grown up there

About me

For me, traveling isn't about visiting places; it’s about inhabiting stories. I move with curiosity and respect, always seeking to immerse myself in the local culture and connect with the heartbeat of its people. Rather than being a tourist, I prefer to be a guest—choosing authentic conversations and shared traditions over any monument. I travel to understand the world through the eyes of those who live it ✨🫶🙏🏽🌍
