Why come to Seville...

Its people, traditions, beauty, hospitality and mild Mediterranean climate make this city an attractive and unforgettable tourist destination.
Seville boasts magnificent Monumental and Artistic Heritage, such as the Cathedral, the Giralda Tower, the Archivo de Indias (General Archive of the Indies), the Reales Alcázares (royal palace) (all three sites have been declared World Heritage by UNESCO) the Triana district, the Santa Cruz district, etc. The Hotel Inglaterra’s privileged location allows visitors to enjoy delightful strolls through the city centre, dominated by low-rise architecture, many historic buildings and narrow streets that form a giant labyrinth.

Visitors can also enjoy its Culture, for example, performances at the Maestranza Theatre (operas, concerts, recitals, flamenco, ballet, etc.) or the Isla Mágica Theme Park, or its Museums, such as the Fine Arts Museum (famous for its collection of 17th century paintings from Seville, with works by renowned artists like Murillo, Velázquez, Zurbarán, El Greco, etc.), or attend the European Film Festival held every year in our city. Flamenco is always present in Seville, with daily performances of this art form in all its splendour at famous flamenco tablaos (venues) in local peñas (clubs) or simply in streets and bars.

Our Fiestas are unique and famous all over the world. These include the April Fair, one of the most famous festivities in the world, Holy Week, the most passionate in Easter celebration in Spain, the National Bullfighting Festival in the majestic Maestranza Bullring or the Velá de Santa Ana festival in the typical district of Triana.

Seville also offers a wide variety of Cuisine and Leisure Activities, both day and night. Go for tapas at night, have a drink in the evening, enjoy on the city’s terraces, bars or clubs. The city also offers a wide range of Sports Tourism activities from January to December. Popular sports among Seville’s citizens include rowing and canoeing, horse riding, football and basketball.

Another representative feature of our city is its long Trading Tradition, gradually forged and maintained over the centuries. Seville is famous for its Crafts Industry, mainly ceramics and pottery products in traditional manufacturing areas such as Triana or handicrafts from La Cartuja. Fine examples of local craftsmanship include articles such as shawls (“mantones” and “mantillas”), embroidery, lace, fans, musical instruments, saddlery items, flamenco dresses and accessories.

Seville offers visitors a full range of transport services, ranging from a Bicycle Rental Service (the city has bicycle lanes) to romantic boat trips on the River Guadalquivir. Travelling by horse and carriage, train, tram, metro, bus, car, taxi or by foot through Seville’s quiet streets is an unforgettably delightful experience.

Strolling through the gardens of the Alcázar (royal palace), shopping on Calle Sierpes, enjoying tapas, going to a football match, reading in the María Luisa Park, or enjoying its traditions such as the Bullfights or Flamenco are reasons enough to discover the charms Seville has to offer.
