Alcázar of Seville promises a surreal, out-of-body experience where visitors are essentially transported to another world; a world where the flowers bloom, gardens flourish and peacocks may end up in the same place as you. The warmth of the Spanish summer is heightened in Seville, a place of unadulterated good times. The palace has more than one significant room or courtyard that you must visit such as the Courtyards of the Maidens with an intriguing history of its own, or the ‘Lion’s Gate’ that challenges you under the rising sun.
You can enjoy a thorough and all-encompassing tour of each of these distinct and culturally-rich spaces of the place with the Royal Alcázar of Seville Guided Tour or Fast Track Access to Real Alcázar to avoid long queues. The Alcázar Seville Tour at Night is ideal for a glorious new perspective of the palace once lit where you may even attend a memorable flamenco show.
Here are some of the main sections of Alcázar of Seville that are not to be missed!
The private quarters of the Royal Family, the eleven rooms of the Cuarto Real Alto form an opulent, luxurious and regal part of the palace. The rooms occupy the first-floor, where the royal family resides to this day when in Seville. Entry to the Royal Apartments remains strict and under supervision as photography is prohibited and visitors may only enter with a pre-paid ticket. You will find an exquisite collection of books, paintings and wall tapestries that adorn the rooms signifying the rank of the Royal Family.
Alcázar of Seville is a pristine, well-maintained and symbolic destination that has been invoked time and again in modern popular culture besides the yellowing-pages of a history book or even a postcard. Its dazzling beauty is no longer concealed under a veil of inaccessibility as many visitors frequent its hallowed lands and verdant gardens every summer to witness its splendor in person
