3. Hidden Gem Seville: El Rinconcillo

This is Seville’s oldest bar. It has been open since 1670 and is one of the most authentic bars in this Andalusian city. When you enter El Rinconcillo, you get the sense that nothing has changed for decades. Just go there and try as many tapas dishes as you can. We recommend staying downstairs at the bar and not booking a table in the restaurant upstairs, as the atmosphere is more authentic and lively on the ground level. Make sure not to miss the jamon!

4. Hidden Gem Seville: La Giralda Tower

The tower is definitely one of Seville’s icons. It will take some time to climb, but once you reach the the top of the tower you will have a stunning view of all Seville. There are ramps instead of stairs, built this way so that horses could get to the top. We recommend buying the tickets online, in advance, to avoid waiting in a line. The ticket price includes entry to the Seville Cathedral as well. The admission fee is around 8€.
