Mid-range · 6-hour walk · Seville
The cathedral, the Alcazar and Santa Cruz in six hours
The Giralda and the royal palace, the old Jewish quarter behind them, and the tiled plaza at the end.
Everything here is inside ten minutes of everything else, so the constraint is tickets rather than distance: the Alcazar sells timed entry and sells out, and the cathedral has its own separate queue. Book both before you arrive. The walk finishes at the Plaza de Espana, which is a fifteen-minute stroll through the park and the only part that is not medieval.
The route, stop by stop
-
Seville Cathedral and the Giralda
The largest Gothic cathedral in the world. The Giralda is a ramped climb rather than stairs, built so horsemen could ride up.

Real Alcazar of Seville
Still a working royal residence, which is why entry is timed and capped. The gardens are half the ticket.
75 min here Walk here → -
Barrio Santa Cruz
The old Jewish quarter, deliberately built as a maze. Getting lost is the intended experience and it is only four streets wide.
30 min here Walk here → -
Plaza de Espana
Built for the 1929 exposition, with a tiled alcove for every province of Spain. Doubled as Naboo in Star Wars.
