A must see for sure! Especially the gardens with the hundreds of palm trees and flowers . If you thinks it's too hot to visit: there's a lot of shadow. Entrance is just €2 euro for students.

Katy Zack

Words cannot describe the beauty of the architecture and gardens of this palace . Enjoy the mix of Muslim and Christian architecture from the 14-16th centuries and amazing tile work.

David Heiser

Absolutely amazing palace and gardens . If you're a Game of Thrones fan, you'll notice several set locations from Dorne.

Ben Mackey

If you want to avoid the tour groups and hordes of tourists , go when it opens or later in the afternoon. We spent 4 hours here - including a relaxed lunch at the cafe in the gardens .

Jeff Melnyk

Absolutely incredible. I could have stayed all day! So much history and opulence packed into one visit. Must do.

Sam Maes

The Real Alcázar is one of the most beautiful places in Spain. The gardens are incredible all year long. Book your tickets in advance and plan enough time to discover all.

James Ferguson

This place is huge. You’ll easily manage to spend a morning or afternoon strolling around. There is a cafe inside for when you need to take the weight off your feet. Look out for the peacocks .

Nataliya

One of the oldest Royal Palaces still in use in Europe. It's a must see(2h min)! Entrance 9,5€, audioguide is useless. Don't miss the Patio de las Doncellas, Baños de Maria de Padilla and the gardens .

Ben Mackey

OMG GO HERE. The gardens are amazing, the rooms in the palace are amazing. Plan to spend a few hours here at least.

Guido Gybels

A must see in Seville . Whenever you think you've seen everything, there is another wing or level to explore. Book online, even on the day, it'll save having to join a long queue.

Rewan Parti

Beautiful architecture and gardens ! Do not miss the carvings on pine wood and stone. Visit Patio de las doncellas. Entry is €11 per person.

Andrew Talaga

Very interesting Royal Palace .You must book a ticket well in advance on https://www.alcazarsevilla.org/en/ if you forget then you can queue on the day at the ticket office . Start queuing at 8:15am!

Artur Correia

Stunning gardens together with amazing and timeless pieces of art . One of the most majestic constructions that I've ever seen. Go and let yourself get lost in here

Jason H.

Wow. A walk through fairy tale. No wonder they filmed Game Of Thrones here. Must see in Seville . Please buy tickets on line for the same day - you’ll save yourself an hour or more of waiting....

Ben Mackey

I can not recommend enough that you book tickets in advance. You skip the huge line out the front and walk straight in. You can book online for the same day too.

Serg Baida

Alcazar made an incredible impression on me, very beautiful architecture , rooms, and halls. But the most beautiful things are outside - an astonishing park with peacocks , fountains , and patios .

Sevilla

Don't miss the 'Baños de Doña María de Padilla ' at the gardens . And don´t forget to visit the whole monument by night! Buy your ticket by clicking on 'read more'. Read more

Matt Hanson

One of the most beautiful buildings in the world. See it. No excuses.

Mary

Beautiful royal palace (still in use) created in the mudejar style, with lots of inspiration taken from Granada's Alhambra. Once inside, get your Upper Royal Palace tickets early before they sell out.

Colin M. Ford

Pretty crowded in the morning, I would recommend going later in the day. Beautiful palace with so many gorgeous tiled rooms. The gardens are a good place to get away from the tour groups.

Raffaele Mauriello

Spectacular. I spent four hours in the Alcázar and its marvelous gardens , but you can stay even longer and still be amazed but its beauty.

RAKAN

Beautiful castle 🏰 great ancient architecture ✨

Josh A

Phenomenal blend of Spanish and Moorish architecture . Very cool stop. Takes about 2h to see it all at a decent pace. Can get a little lost inside.

Alexandra Previdi

Really not sure how worth it I can say the audio guides were for this, unless you're into a lot of technical history of architectural features. Much of the audio guide info was repeated on signs.

Sarah Zaid

Huge gardens ! Get lost in them for hours, book your ticket ahead of time or skip the line and pay extra for a guide!

Michelle

Do not miss this when visiting Seville . It is a magnificent palace with highly ornate architecture and design. Be transported into the magic that was Seville !

Pay the visit since you're in Sevilla! It worth every cent for the ticket. Make sure bring a lot of water with during summer.

Lejla H

Very nice palace with amazing history. Plan at least 4 hours to explore it and enjoy it properly. Spend some time in the gardens . Listen to water. Smell the jasmine.

Julio D

It is simply a MUST, maybe the audio guides aren't the best but still with them you can have an idea of this incredible building

Silversea

You might notice the scent of orange blossoms as you stroll the garden courtyard . Keep an eye out for colourful peacocks .

Derek Wilson

This is great. If you're thinking of avoiding it, don't, it's worth it. Blends of Moorish and Gothic architecture and it has a maze! Mazes ftw!

Christiana Makariou

Best place I’ve EVER been! Worth it 100%!

Francis Kinder

Words are not enough to describe how outstandingly beautiful this place is. Separate at least two hours to fully enjoy its gardens and decorated rooms.

G S

Absolutely beautiful! Worth a visit a million times. Lush gardens and incredible architecture .

Mr David McWilliams

Must see in Seville , beautiful buildings and gardens , only surpassed by the Alhambra in Granada. Worth the wait in a long queue.

Maurice

Don't miss the stunning underground Baths of Lady Maria de Padilla , which can be reached through a corridor in the Garden of the Dance .

Coco Cat

The gardens are a must see! Book online to save time in the queue. Gorgeous interior and exterior

Yigit A.

Definitely must see palace in Sevilla. If you have seen Alhambra, it may not be that charming but if you did not see Alhambra yet, visit here first.

James Brown

This is a great place to visit. Take a tour , you will learn a little more about the palace and it's history.

Alexandra Previdi

Interesting because it's still the official residence of the king and queen of Spain when they're in Sevilla, but they do not let you see that area in the upper palace , which was disappointing.

Emily Chen

If you have booked the tour to cuarto real alto, come super early! The line at the entrance is ridiculous even if you have bought the tickets online.

Sonja

Beautiful architecture !! A must see when in Sevilla!! Plan in a couple of hours to explore!!
