- City Tour Cadiz & Sevilla
Duration: Approximately
6-7 hours
Always a favorite, the
stunning city of Seville offers a wide variety of compelling and famous
sights.
Sensational Seville, with its colorful history and legendary landmarks,
is well worth a visit and in recent years has been captured as a
must-see destination in Dan Brown’s bestseller, ‘Digital Fortress’.
Renowned as the largest place of worship in Spain and one of the largest
in the world, the Cathedral of Seville boasts a lavish interior. Outside
stands La Giralda, an imposing 322-foot tower, formerly a Moorish-style
minaret from a mosque that once stood on this site.
Stroll through the old Jewish Santa Cruz Quarter with its labyrinth of
narrow streets, wrought-iron-grilled windows, whitewashed buildings and
tiled patios. Lunch has not been included within the tour to allow
maximum flexibility in Seville. Be tempted by one of the many cafés and
restaurants within the area or perhaps make a visit to the magnificent
Alcazar – home to Spanish kings.
Enjoy a panoramic drive around Seville, which is one of the ‘jewels in
the crown of Europe’ and is considered to be on a par with Venice and
Florence. You’ll have brief photo-stops at sights such as the Plaza
America, Plaza de España, and Maria Luisa Park.
There will also be a short time for shopping.
