If you plan to visit Seville <\/strong>and besides seeing the essential monuments of the Andalusian capital you want to get lost in its most emblematic neighborhoods and its intricate streets full of history, this is your guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Seville is not only monuments and tapas: Seville is its neighborhoods<\/strong>, with its own soul, its centennial history and its corners full of art. Strolling through them is like discovering a thousand cities within one. In this article we take you through the most famous, beautiful and charming neighborhoods of Seville<\/strong>, so that you can fall in love with their daily life <\/strong>and find the best neighborhoods to stay in Seville.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Triana, the flamenco soul of Seville<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the Guadalquivir, Triana<\/strong> is pure character and an idiosyncrasy of its own. So much so that the Triana locals call ‘going down to Seville’ <\/strong>crossing the Triana Bridge and entering the historic center of the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Triana neighborhood in Seville <\/strong>is the neighborhood of potters, sailors, singers and dancers. Here was born the most authentic<\/strong> art of flamenco<\/strong> and breathes a popular essence that can not be imitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk down Betis Street along the Guadalquivir River,<\/strong> overlooking the historic center, enter the Triana Market<\/strong>, and admire the tiles and pottery workshops<\/strong> that still preserve the craft of centuries past. In every bar there is a story, and in every square, an improvised tablao. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In San Jacinto street you will find a rich and varied local gastronomic offer<\/strong>, as well as the headquarters of the Estrella de Triana, a religious image that generates devotion in the neighborhood, along with the Esperanza de Triana (which you can visit in its church, located in Calle Pureza).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for<\/strong>: those looking for authenticity, living culture and tapas with tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Santa Cruz neighborhood<\/strong>, the most emblematic and windingand sinuous<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there is a neighborhood that must be visited in Seville, it is Santa Cruz<\/strong>. It is the old Jewish quarter of the city and, as a Jewish quarter, a real labyrinth of narrow streets, hidden squares and flowery balconies<\/strong>. Here every corner seems to be taken from a postcard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within its walls you can breathe history: from medieval legends to the echo of the footsteps of Don Juan Tenorio. Do not miss the Plaza de Do\u00f1a Elvira<\/strong>, the Callej\u00f3n del Agua<\/strong> or the Plaza de Santa Marta<\/strong>, an oasis of silence next to the Cathedral. And discover with our Free Tour through the neighborhood of Santa Cruz the stories behind the Calle Vida and Calle Muerte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal to<\/strong> get lost without a map, take beautiful pictures and understand why Seville is magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. La Macarena, between devotion and tradition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Macarena<\/strong> District in Seville is famous for being home to one of Seville’s most beloved virgins, but also for its mix of religiosity, popular history and local atmosphere. Here you will find the Basilica de la Macarena<\/strong>, the Arco de la Macarena<\/strong> (one of the ancient gates of the wall), an original fragment of the ancient wall of Seville and the Hospital de las Cinco Llagas<\/strong>, current seat of the Andalusian Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a perfect neighborhood to take a quiet walk, learn about the history of the Sevillian Holy Week<\/strong> and taste the most traditional cuisine in the bars frequented by Sevillians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal to<\/strong> experience the most devout and authentic Seville, away from the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. El Arenal, maritime and bullfighting history<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Former river port (hence its name) of Seville in times of trade with America, El Arenal<\/strong> has always been a neighborhood linked to the river and art. Here are the Torre del Oro<\/strong>, the Maestranza<\/strong> (the most famous bullring in Andalusia) and the Teatro de la Maestranza<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stone’s throw from the historic center, El Arenal in Seville combines monuments, good food and an elegant atmosphere. In addition, strolling along its riverside at sunset is a perfect plan to fall in love with the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. St. Bartholomew’s, the best kept secret<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next to Santa Cruz but less busy, the neighborhood of San Bartolom\u00e9<\/strong> is one of those places that surprise those who stray a little off the beaten path. Its streets preserve the medieval layout, and house jewels such as the Church of San Bartolom\u00e9<\/strong> or the Casa de Pilatos<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a neighborhood that combines the elegance of the palaces with the tranquility of a residential area with centuries of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Los Remedios: Seville with a stately air<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Southwest of Triana, Los Remedios<\/strong> is a more modern and residential neighborhood, but very relevant in the Sevillian culture. Here the famous Feria de Abril<\/strong> is held, in the fairgrounds that every spring becomes an ephemeral city of lanterns, booths and flamenco dresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also ideal for strolling through the Parque de los Pr\u00edncipes<\/strong> or enjoying shopping on Asunci\u00f3n Street.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. The Alameda de Hercules, the alternative neighborhood<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Alameda in Seville is one of the city’s most transformed neighborhoods in recent decades. What used to be a forgotten area is now the alternative and creative center of the city<\/strong>. Charming bars, terraces, bookstores, urban art and nightlife make it the meeting point for young people and artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for the more modern side of Seville, Nervion<\/strong> is the neighborhood of shopping malls, grand avenues and hotels. It is also home to the Ram\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez-Pizju\u00e1n Stadium<\/strong>, home of Sevilla F.C., which makes it a place of pilgrimage for many soccer fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
