Seville skyline walking tour with Metropol Parasol visit

Want to tour around Seville in a way that’s a little different from the rest? This one is for you. You’ll see Seville from two angles – from above at a few of the city’s high points and down on street level. Carla, one of our expert local guides, says “this tour pairs some top-level sightseeing with some more subdued moments, like relaxing with a drink on a rooftop terrace – it’s all about experiencing the Seville that the locals know and love.”You’ll kick things off with a visit to the Metropol Parasol, one of Seville’s best-known landmarks. Squint and you’d think this man-made structure was a cluster of giant oak trees, spreading their branches over a connected canopy that covers over 150 metres. You’ll head to the Parasol’s top level, the panoramic terrace, for a look at the city skyline. From here, you’ll mingle between strolling the streets, crossing bridges and walking along the Guadalquivir River to relaxing on Seville’s rooftop terraces. When it comes to the latter, a complimentary drink is waiting at a terrace that serves up some pretty incredible views of Seville Cathedral. A visit to the city’s Triana neighbourhood is also on the agenda. This part of Seville is known for its maritime history – the Romans set up shop here centuries ago – and flamenco dancing. Azulejos, a kind of Spanish hand-painted tile, made this section of Seville famous by the 15th century, and you might be able to pick up a few as souvenirs during your visit.
