Our take
The Alcázar is Seville's number one visit and the box-office queue in season exceeds an hour. With a timed ticket you walk in at your time and skip the sun. Book days ahead in spring and at Easter.

The experience
What you'll see
The Royal Alcázar is a palace that has been in use for a thousand years: Umayyad fortress, Almohad palace, residence of Pedro I and, today, the royal family's official residence in Seville.
The Palace of Pedro I
The Mudéjar jewel of the complex. The Courtyard of the Maidens, the Hall of Ambassadors with its gilded wooden dome, and plasterwork made by Granada craftsmen from the Alhambra.
The Gothic Palace and the Baths of María de Padilla
The Christian part of the site, with 16th-century tapestries and the vaulted baths beneath the Patio del Crucero, one of the most photographed corners.
The gardens
Over 7 hectares: the Pond Garden, the Grutesco Gallery, the maze and free-roaming peacocks. The Water Gardens of Dorne in Game of Thrones were filmed here.
Making the most of it
- Book the first morning slot (9:30): the palace fills with groups from 11 am.
- Do the palaces first and leave the gardens for the end.
- The Upper Royal Rooms (the royal family's private quarters) are not included: they are visited with a guide in groups of 15 and must be booked separately.
Accessibility
The ground floor and main gardens are accessible. Some areas have steps.
Cancellation policy
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before with full refund.
