The combination of Moorish architecture, intricate tilework, lush gardens, and centuries of royal history made every corner feel like a scene from a fairytale. I visited in the late morning, and while it was already getting busy, the palace grounds are spacious enough to find your own peaceful pocket to soak it all in. What really struck me was the sheer beauty of the Patio de las Doncellas—perfect symmetry, calming pools, and delicate arches that frame the sky. Then there’s the lush garden maze, fountains, and tall palm trees that offer shade and serenity. It’s no wonder this place has been featured in movies and shows like Game of Thrones—it’s cinematic in every sense. Whether you’re a history lover, architecture buff, or just someone looking for a beautiful place to wander, Alcázar is a must-see when in Seville. Travel Tips & How to Get There: • Best time to visit: • Morning, right when it opens to avoid the heavy midday crowd and heat. • How to get there: • Located in the heart of Seville’s old town, near the Cathedral. • You can walk from most major attractions, or take a bus or tram to Archivo de Indias. • Tips: • Book tickets online in advance to skip the long queue. • Bring water and wear comfy shoes—the grounds are large and full of steps. • Don’t rush—take time to explore the gardens, they’re just as magical as the palace interior.
