# One day in Seville: a walking itinerary > A day in Seville brings three UNESCO sites on one square and Spain's most beautiful plaza. In the morning, the cathedral and the ramps up the Giralda, then the Archive of the Indies across the square. After lunch, the royal Alcázar with its palaces and gardens, and towards evening Plaza de España with boats on its canal. Every stop is 2–15 minutes' walk from the next.

Book the cathedral and Alcázar ahead for different times: the cathedral and Giralda in the morning, the palace after lunch. The Archive of the Indies sits between them, needs half an hour and is free. From the Alcázar it's 15 minutes on foot to Plaza de España, through the Murillo Gardens or along the edge of Santa Cruz. Take a boat out on the canal, then wander the shady María Luisa Park. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update. ## Where to eat Lunch is easy in the Santa Cruz quarter by the Alcázar walls, with dozens of tapas bars. Try salmorejo, a thick cold tomato soup, along with jamón and fried fish. Seville lunches late, from 2pm. Dinner is best after 9pm, in the bars around the cathedral or across the river in Triana. Many flamenco tablaos start their evening shows around nine, a fine way to end the day. ## Tips for the day Seville summers are scorching, often over 35 °C by day. Plan to be inside the cathedral or the Alcázar palaces at midday, where it's cool, and outdoors in the morning and after 6pm. Bring water and a hat. The cathedral requires covered shoulders and knees. Alcázar tickets sell out days ahead in high season, so book as soon as your dates are set. ## If you have more time With time to spare, catch the sunset from the [Metropol Parasol](https://yesgo.io/spain/seville/metropol-parasol) rooftop above the old town, or visit Roman [Italica](https://yesgo.io/spain/seville/italica) 9 kilometres from the centre. ## Tips - Book the cathedral and Alcázar ahead. - Head indoors at midday. - Plaza de España at sunset. - Churches require covered shoulders and knees and no beachwear; walking around town in swimwear is not allowed. - Spain uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere. Book the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gaudí houses ahead on their official sites, which list entry times and closing days. ## Questions ### What can you see in Seville in one day?
