4.5Mirador de San Nicolas(12.9k reviews) - Phenomenal Location to View the Alcazar, Alhambra and Generalife from Afar Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites • Historic Walking Areas
Though there are supposed to be numerous miradors around the city, we ventured to this mirador due to multiple recommendations we saw. Though we got lost a bit trying to find it, the challenges were well worth it. Its situated perfectly across the Alhambra, Generalife and Alcazaba where you can view them from afar and at night, they’re lit up. Its best to plan on arriving at least 45 minutes or more before sunset if you wish to have a place to sit as it gets quite crowded the closer to sunset you get. Of interest nearby is the San Nicholas Church, a few restaurants, and later after sunset, you may be treated to a flamenco dance show and local artisans selling their wares.See more..
4.5Barrio Santa Cruz(8.910 reviews) - Gorgeous Spanish neighbourhood Spent 2-3 hours Neighborhoods • Historic Walking Areas
The Barrio Santa Cruz used to be the Jewish quarter. The streets are narrow and form a labyrinth. It’s easy to get lost among the jasmine-scented streets… only to discover a convent or a palace or a hotel. Many of the palaces have wrought iron gates suitable for peeping into their beautiful patios. There are many small stores and some artisan shops, as well as good art galleries.See more..

4.5Jewish Quarter (Juderia)(5.976 reviews) - Charming ancient area to visit! Neighborhoods • Historic Walking Areas
Rich in history…charming! There are many tourists, however, tours are well worth taking (we took ours as part of the “Hop on/Hop off” bus tour that included a 90 minute walking tour of this area. The tour guide was amazing, and it was well worth taking the tour to be able to learn all the history on this section of the city. Tours are booked in English, too, but be sure to ask for one that has an English speaking guide.See more..

Throughout the region of Andalusia there are quite a few houses with hanging flower pots. I think this is the most special place.

4.5Plaza del Triunfo(685 reviews) - A Plaza with history Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas
Plaza del Triunfo is a beautiful public space. It is surrounded by a lot of history and that is seen in buildings like the Cathedral, the Real Alcazar, the Convent of the Encarnación and the lovely atmosphere of the square itself. Its name goes back to the 18th century and is connected to the Portuguese capital Lisbon. When a devastating and powerful earthquake hit Lisbon, it was felt in Seville. At that very moment, according to tradition, worshippers were inside the Cathedral, during Mass. Undeterred, they went outside on to the square, where the Mass continued. Seville, as it turned out escaped the earthquake almost unscathed. In return they named the Square in remembrance of this event. A fitting monument to the Virgin Mary was also built there.See more..
4.0Paseo de Almeria(417 reviews) - Main drag which you can't avoid! Spent 1-2 hours Historic Walking Areas
Our hotel was located on this road and it's one of the main thoroughfares in the city which leads you to the coast and also to tourist attractions further inland. Many shops, cafes and eateries on this road and also the side roads which branch off it (one of which leads to the central market & another to the Ramblas) and hidden squares. It's nice and shady in the heat as well and there is a beautiful old tree which which has a write up on it. The Paseo is bustling in the evenings and weekends. One weekend, the Pride parade actually went down so we were able to see it from the hotel room! Easy to get your bearings when you're on the Paseo de Almeria! See more..
