Seville: Top attractions with free admission
Although Seville is a fraction of the size of Madrid and Barcelona, the southern Spanish city is packed with attractions. Seville boasts world-class art museums, historic palaces, picturesque neighborhoods, and an awe-inspiring cathedral.
Conveniently, most of these attractions are located in the city center, within walking distance of each other. And best of all, several have free admission.
We recently put together a list of our “Top 10 Seville Attractions” in our Seville city guide, and found the following attractions offered free admission daily, or at least at some point during the week:

Many of the main monuments offer free entry on MONDAYS. To obtain further information just go to the “setas” (Metropol Parasol) infodesk. They will provide you with a list.
Alcázar is free on mondays 4pm-5pm. BUT to avoid the endless line you have to “purchase” a ticket online which then costs 0,00€. With that you can skip the line and just go the counter “with reservation”. (https://oberonsaas.com/realalcazarsevilla/lunesgratuito)
I recommend the (private) Museum-Palace of the Countess of Lebrija which is free on mondays 6pm-6:30pm. Just go there monday during the day and reservate for the evening. Limited to 40 people.
Enjoy!
We’ve been to Seville inspring this year, but only for one day so – of your suggestions – the only thing we got to see were Plaza de España – it was gorgeous architecture and the mosaic pieces very beautiful. A magnificent building. There are lots of horse carriages around there too giving the right atmosphere 🙂
