Best time to visit

Arrive at opening or late afternoon to avoid the biggest crowds and Andalusian heat. Spring and autumn give the most pleasant temperatures and blooming orange trees.

Budget tips

Standard adult tickets are typically around €12–€15, book a timed ticket online to guarantee entry and skip long lines; check the official Alcázar site for exact prices and any free admission rules. City cards like the Sevilla Card sometimes include the Alcázar, so compare pass costs before buying.

About

Datos rápidos: Stepping inside reveals interlaced Moorish arches and cedarwood ceilings, sunlight pouring through filigree screens and warming ornate tile panels. Gardens contain more than 200 plant species and winding paths, so every turn offers a new scent, color, or hidden fountain.

Destacados: Look up in the Hall of Ambassadors to see a carved wooden dome nearly nine meters across, where King Pedro I staged lavish receptions that still shape the room's scale and ornament. Over a dozen peacocks roam the gardens, often pausing on sun-warmed steps while guides point out a 16th-century fountain tucked behind a row of orange trees.

Insider tips

  • Book a timed-entry ticket online and aim for the earliest slot to beat the crowds and midday heat.
  • Wear comfortable shoes for uneven cobbles and many short steps throughout the palace and gardens.
  • Photograph the Patio de las Doncellas and the Ambassadors' Hall early for soft light and fewer people.
  • Bring a refillable water bottle, sunscreen, and a small bag, large backpacks may be restricted at security.
