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.

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: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: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: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: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.

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 😎.

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.

As spring is coming to Andalusia, I’ve had an fabulous time in Seville. The city was beautiful with blooming trees and flowers. Food was good and cheap. The Alcazar was a lovely walk and a must go. Visit in some later time in April onwards and you can also see the bullfighting in Plaza del Toros (if that’s a thing you want to see). Overall a great experience.

Last autumn, I spent a week in Seville and I fell in love with this place. I walked everywhere, it was very safe and beautiful. The streets are lined with thousands of orange trees. I stayed in an Airbnb just next to the cathedral. From Seville, I took a day trip to Granada (Alhambra is a must-see) and on another day to Tangier in Morocco. It was a long day, but definitely worth crossing the Strait of Gibraltar to wander around the ancient medina.

We went to Seville in October and it was incredible. We rented a boat at Plaza de Espana, it was really nice and super affordable. We ate amazing, cheap tapas and sangria near Alameda de Hercules in a restaurant called Antigua Taberna de Las Escobas. We used Voi electric scooters to see some farther outskirts of the city on the other side of the river, which was really nice, we paid less than 7 euros for a daily scooter ticket, which was a great way to explore the city, we could get on and off whenever we wanted. We also found a few really cool places to eat/drink, along this sweet but lively street called Calle Francos.
