This small-group walking tour lasts about two hours and is led by a licensed English-speaking guide. It begins at Plaza de San Francisco with an introduction that includes an explanation of the City Hall building, illustrating Seville's importance during the 1500s. The group then walks to the monumental Cathedral of Seville, where the guide describes the outdoor features, the previous mosque that stood on the site, and the Giralda Tower, highlighting how different cultures and religions influenced the city. Next, the tour visits the Archivo General de Indias, emphasizing Seville's role as the Port of the Indies and its significance as a trade center for the New World. The walk continues to the Real Alcázar de Sevilla, the oldest royal palace still in use in Europe, where the guide explains its history dating back to the 1000s, viewed from the outside. Afterwards, the group sees the Torre del Oro, the last Muslim structure in the city, originally a watchtower marking the ocean entrance to Seville. The tour proceeds to the Universitat de Sevilla, located in the former Tobacco factory built in the 1700s, which serves as an example of the city's industrial architecture. The tour finishes around the picturesque Plaza de España, the pavilion built for the Ibero-American exhibition that brought significant changes to the city's urban layout. Entrance fees to the monuments are not included, as all visits are from the outside. Note that Plaza de España may be closed in the evening due to concerts or city council restrictions related to heavy wind alerts.
