When to go · Seville, Spain
Best time to visit Seville
The sweet spot is May, June and October — averages 21°C, 5 rainy days, peak-season crowds and peak prices.
March – May, October – November
Mediterranean climate with the hottest summers in Western Europe: July-August regularly hits 42-45°C. Outdoor sightseeing in July is genuinely dangerous without careful planning (before 10am and after 7pm only). March-May is the ideal time: Semana Santa (Holy Week) fills the streets with extraordinary processions, and the Feria de Abril (April Fair) is one of Europe's great festivals. October-November brings relief and the olive harvest. December-February is mild (15°C) and pleasantly uncrowded.
