Overview

Discover Seville's rich history on this self-guided walking tour. On this immersive tour, you'll trace Seville's golden age sparked by Columbus reaching the Americas in 1492. Seville's monopoly on trade with Spain's colonies transformed it into a thriving port, attracting merchants, artisans, and artists from across Europe. You'll explore the city's iconic landmarks, starting at the Archivo de Indias and winding through the old shipyards, Royal Mint, and along the Guadalquivir River. Along the way, you'll uncover stories of Baroque masters, the first circumnavigation of the globe, and intriguing historical facts. By the end of the tour, you'll understand why Seville became the gateway to the Americas and a cultural powerhouse.
