Solo Female Travel in Seville

Seville, located in southern Spain's Andalusia region, is renowned for its rich artistic, cultural, and historical heritage. It is the birthplace of flamenco dancing and the delectable Spanish delight of tapas. This timeless, high-spirited city is known for its impressive Gothic cathedral, the third-largest in the world, which houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus. Seville's iconic Alcazar palace complex, a striking example of Mudéjar architecture, is a must-visit along with the Giralda tower that grants stupendous city views. Seville's charm and vivacity come alive, particularly during the Feria de Abril, an annual festival imbued with flamenco dancing, bullfights, and festively decked horse-drawn carriages.

Is Seville good for solo travel?

Safety:

Safety:Very safe

Seville is generally safe for solo female travelers. The city is tourist-friendly and locals are welcoming. Normal precautions that you would take in any other city should be adhered to. Take care of your belongings especially in crowded tourist spots and also during the nights. Most areas are safe to walk around even at night, but it always helps to stay within the well-lit and populated areas. Local authorities are usually helpful in case of any problems.
Transport:

Transport:Easy

Seville is a compact and walkable city. Both, the old town and the modern areas, are easy to navigate on foot or by bike. It also offers an efficient tram, metro, and bus system. However, during peak tourist season, it might become crowded which could slow down your movement.
Things to do:

Things to do:Fascinating

Seville is a city brimming with enchanting beauty and historical significance. You'll be greeted by the stunning gothic Seville Cathedral and the intricate royal palace, Alcazar, both boasting breathtaking architectures and gardens. For the art lovers, Museo de Bellas Artes houses exquisite pieces. Explore the labyrinthine streets of the Santa Cruz district or take a stroll along the Guadalquivir River for an unrivaled Spanish charm. Indulge in the local cuisine with a tapas tour around the city's numerous bars. A boat trip or a kayak tour provides a unique perspective of the city's skyline. Not to forget, the flamenco shows are a must-see, paying homage to the city’s vibrant cultural scene. Despite the absence of cyclical events, Seville assures an awe-filled visit, one that truly captures the spirit of Andalusia.
Food:

Food:Excellent

Seville boasts a vibrant food scene with a wealth of diversity. From traditional Spanish tapas and classic Andalusian cuisine to more experimental gastronomy, the city truly offers a variety of culinary experiences. You wouldn't want to miss their famous gazpacho or churros dipped in chocolate. However, individuals with specific dietary needs may need to exercise caution as vegan and gluten-free options, while available, are not as prevalent.
Budget:

Budget:Affordable

Seville is relatively budget-friendly. Accommodation, food, and public transportation are reasonably priced while offering good quality. Entrance fees to must-see attractions like the Alcazar and Cathedral are not extortionate but prepaid tickets could save you more. Exploring on foot saves transportation costs as notable attractions are generally close to each other.

You’ve gotta have some fresh orange juice if it’s in season! I went for three days which were easy to fill, if I went again I would try to time my mealtimes better to align with theirs. Perfect place for a solo trip, had an amazing time, wish I dressed as well as the locals though.

It is one of the most amazing cities that I have been to. As I was arriving, it was already 3 o’clock at night, but people can not really tell. All I can remember is that it was like there was still daytime, people were just going out from their home to attend different party’s or going for a night drink. Really relaxing vibe there. Also, all the tapas were so amazing and also the Sangria, and they were not privy at all!! Also, there are royal palace and architecture to visit! I would love to visit there again!!

Seville It was great and felt very safe. The food was good, and the people were friendly. There is a lot to see and do! You can go shopping, take a walk in the park, or sit down and relax in the sun. It's good to know that in the summer, it can get quite hot.

I stayed at a friends home for a week, this was my fourth time in Sevilla. I always feel safe walking around the centre, I usually use sevici (city bikes) when I need to go a bit further away from the centre. Weather is always great, city is so beautiful. You can do many activities : las setas, el alcazar, la casa de pilatos, plaza de España, parque Maria Luisa, barrio de Triana, get a drink at Alameda, …

Currently living in Seville and I’m in love with it. I honestly didn’t know about this city and ended up here by chance, but I’m glad I did. It gives you the best of both worlds of living in a “big city” but which still has this romantic traditional charm and is not too busy. At this point, I’ve visited most of the famous monuments here such as the Alcázar, Las Setas, La Giralda. If you’re on limited time, I suggest staying in the city center and visiting these 3. After which, you can crawl through the surrounding narrow alleys and be surprised by hidden bars, cafes, and even museums. There’s just so much to see 💖

I spent a week in Seville, October 2022 and i still think about it. I was working remotely but staying in La Banda hostel which was an amazing mix of social but not mad party so i met some great people but no push if you didnt want to go out. I loved the food, the music, the streets and always felt safe. It does get hot mid year but in October it was perfect weather.

I would really recomend visiting “Plaza España” as it’s so beautiful and full of the sevillano essence. There you can experience people doing “el tablao” which is dancing the typical dance with the typical music The food is really good and cheap if you eat purely tapas. I liked a lot visiting the cathedral and going to the bridge of Triana. I was there for 3 days and if you walk a lot you can see almost everything important in the city

There is so much to do in Seville. We got the turistic bus and was a fun way to see most of things... Food was lovely. A little hard for gluten free vegans(my twin sister😳). Spanish are meat lovers😁... But we managed to find a few places to cater for my sister 😎.

I went to Sevilla during semana santa and witnessed the overwhelming crowd, locals who all dressed up and the procession. Although I was aware that many roads would be blocked/ flocked before my trip, I spent 1.5 hour walking to my destination. Fortunately I met two girls during my solo trip, so I didn't lose my way. I only know a bit of Spanish from Duolingo, not even A1, but feel like I happen to learn the most useful phrases because I can somehow communicate with non-English speaking people.lol Must-see attractions: Real Alcazar de Sevilla, Cathedral and La Giralda Tower, Plaza de España and free guided walk I also paid for the Cuarto Real Alto in the palace, but imo not really worth it. Acconmodation: I stayed at a hostel near the Cathedral. Great location.

Seville is a city with a lot of street life and this is why you can feel safe on the street, because there will always be people! The center is a safe place, although you always have to be careful with pickpockets by taking care of your backpacks and bags. In the outskirts there is usually less movement, but even so I have always felt safe in this city and I usually return home alone with my bicycle every night I go out.

Seville is quite safe bearing in mind you don't wear gold jewelry, costly smartphones, and do not sit leaving the camera or mobile on the table, because someone may steal It. Be careful not to carry bags which can be easily opened. Pickpocket are around at the tourist areas. Some of the pickpocket are tourists themselves. Hide your money closed to you body. I usually pay everything with Google pay, so I don't carry cash.

So Seville is a really pretty city, it's not as big as Madrid or Barcelona but it is more relaxing and doesn't have that many tourists. Never go in the summer!!! It's too hot, it can reach 45 degrees, it's better to go starting October until march. The best to see are the monuments and the streets in the center, outside with the Itálica ruins which I totally recommend, they have a lot of history and they are one of the locations Game of Thrones came to film! Stay away from the typical tapas restaurants in the center they are tourist traps, go a little far away or walk between streets that are not packed. Places to see: Plaza de España, María Luisa s garden, Alcazar, Atarazanas, The Giralda, Tower of Gold, Triana's neighborhood and Santa Cruz neighborhood.
