Solo Female Travel in Seville

Solo travel experience

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.

Group travel experience

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

Family travel experience

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 😎.

Seville has a lot to offer during your city trip. You can enjoy the beautiful attractions and sightseeing of Seville, the warm weather, the delicious tapas, long nights, ancient culture, temperament and flamenco. Seville is a city where you can easily spend a full three days visiting all of the sights.

Solo travel experience

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.

Overall I have never felt unsafe as a solo woman in Seville. There have been increased warnings about unwanted touching in nightclubs for example, especially in gay clubs. I have never experienced this so cannot speak from experience. I always walk home alone and have not felt unsafe in that manner. There can be unwanted stares and comments quite frequently however.

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.
