Quaint town
Seville is a beautiful city! It would be what I call a city with a "small town" vibe to it. The people here are really friendly and I only wished I stayed longer.
Insider Tip:Flamenco shows are a must!
Seville is a warm city that makes you feel welcome when visiting. While its city centre is a bit squashed, a walk along the Río Guadalquivir is perfect for a bit of space while the outskirts is where you will find some of Spain’s nicest parks.
Hostelworld’s Colm Hanratty speaks to Fernando Rodriguez of 'El Arenal', one of Seville's top Flamenco clubs about the origins of the music and its different styles.

Insider Tip:Flamenco shows are a must!
I didn't know what to expect from Sevilla except the sun, and we didn't get any! It was colder than Barcelona and was foggy and rainy the whole time we were there, a little disappointing. It is a beautiful city, though and easy to navigate once you get used to the small streets. The layout of the city is funny, you can't find a bar or restaurant by just walking around. There's a shopping area where there's no dining option and we got stuck with 1 night of no boozing.
Insider Tip:On Sundays the Cathedral is free, but it's only open from 2:00-6:30!!
such a nice place, but boiling hot. really easy going after barca and madrid, and a lovely insight into the culture of southern spain.
Insider Tip:see a flamenco show
Serville was a wonderful place to relax, eat great food, meet loads of ppl and do some sightseeing, it had it all!
Insider Tip:Have a little walk around at night, you'll be suprised with some of the local dancing, music and cheap food around the place!!
Seville rocks! Barcelona is my favorite place in the world, and Seville falls into a small, selected, group that follows - it is basically like a small Barca! Gorgeous architecture, abundance of history, fantastic weather, great and friendly people - it is a MUST SEE! Very good shopping, great food - it's a 10 out of 10!
Insider Tip:Do see Plaza de Espana, Alcazar and the Cathedral - it's all within a walking distance from the hostel! Plan your trip so that you can also get to see a bullfight in the 2nd biggest Arena in Spain - they take place every Sunday! Ham, ham, and some more ham - do not miss trying it!

The north-eastern Spanish city is among one of Europe's favourite destinations for short breaks and a popular spot with inter-railers going to Spain. It is also home to some of the world's most fascinating architecture thanks to the works of Antoni Gaudi.
