Overview

A golden chain once stretched across the Guadalquivir to block enemy ships. A woman's skull still marks a doorway in the old Jewish Quarter. And a cathedral was built so grand, its builders were called mad. These are the kind of stories you will hear on this self-guided audio tour.
Walk through 2,000 years of Seville's most dramatic stories and explore 13 stops across 6km — from a Star Wars filming location to the palace where Columbus reported back from the New World, and ending where legend says Hercules himself founded the city. You will see how the city evolved over the centuries and discover marvels built from the age of the Moors to the golden age of Seville and more modern structures.

This tour is the perfect orientation for those who are first time visitors to Seville and want to view the main attractions. Start, pause, and replay anytime. Enter the Cathedral or Alcázar when you choose orstop for tapas. No group to wait for, no schedule to keep.
