Tips to make the most of spending Christmas in Seville

  • Landmarks like the Alcázar and the Seville Cathedral see large crowds from late morning onwards. If you want to visit them during your time in the city, the best time to do so is right after they open in the morning. 
  • Getting last-minute tickets to these attractions can also be tough, and the last thing you want to do is stand in long queues. Booking skip-the-line tickets at least a week in advance is the best way to go. 
  • Christmas markets tend to be crowded at night, and while that can be an experience in itself, if you’re someone who wants to browse through the stalls peacefully, late afternoons between 3pm and 6pm are the best time to visit. 
  • While public transportation is available throughout, the best way to get up close to the activity and the lights is to walk around the city. This way, you’ll also end up avoiding tram delays and other such inconveniences.
