Question 1

Is Seville Cathedral worth visiting?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Catedral de Sevilla is the 4th largest in the world, 3rd largest in Europe, and the largest Gothic church ever built. The interiors and exteriors of the church are bestowed with beautiful stones and details. A visit to the cathedral also gives you a chance to explore the nearby attractions like the Royal Alcazar Seville, Museo del Baile Flamenco, Archive of the Indies, and the Archbishop’s Palace.

Question 2

What do I do if the tickets are sold out?

Accepted Answer

If the Seville Cathedral tickets you want are sold out, your best bet is buying a Seville Cathedral guided tour. They are almost always available, especially last minute. The combo tours with the Alcazar and Cathedral visit are also available last minute.

Question 3

Is the Seville Cathedral Guided Tour recommended?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! Nothing beats an expert guide taking you through the biblical history of the Cathedral, fascinating stories about Christopher Columbus's burial ground and other lores that the walls of the church have sealed for centuries. No audio-guide or book can do justice to this experience! A guided tour is recommended all the way!

Question 4

Can I visit only the La Giralda Rooftop without purchasing a ticket to the Cathedral?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no. The roofs are only accessible to the public by pre-booking the guided tours. There are tours at different times depending on the language of your choice and the groups are limited to 25 at a time.

Question 5

Is there a way to see the Seville Cathedral  for free?

Accepted Answer

You can visit the Seville Cathedral for free on Mondays from 4:30 pm to 7 pm for only 70 visitors. However, you have to register for a slot of your convenience on the website.

Question 6

Is there a baggage check at the entrance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are baggage checks, but they are not airport style. You will not be allowed to carry big bags inside the Cathedral, so make sure you carry a small backpack.

Question 7

Are there any limitations on Photography?

Accepted Answer

Photography is not an issue unless you want to take commercial pictures or use a tripod, which is not allowed inside. Drones are prohibited as well.

Question 8

How much time should I keep aside for a sedate visit?
