When to Fly

There’s never a bad time to book flights to Seville, the capital of Andalusia and one of Spain’s most beautiful cities, but springtime, when the scent of orange blossom hangs heavy on the air, might just be the best time.

If you are hoping to immerse yourself in some of the festivities of Seville, April can be the perfect time to book flights to Saville. Semana Santa (Easter Week) hosts an extraordinary procession of masked people and carnival floats. Although this is a religious festival, there are also lots of celebrations, with people travelling from across the country to experience the event. April also hosts the annual Seville April Fair. This is a great time to see traditional Andalusian culture, with flamenco dancing and parties aplenty. If you are taking a flight to Seville for a festival, make your reservations in advance, as prices can rise.

Winter (December to February) is cooler but not freezing, with temperatures usually between 5 and 16 degrees. There is also an increase in rainfall during both autumn and winter, which can see heavy showers and thunderstorms. Due to the weather, these seasons are less popular times to visit, so the city is less crowded. Find cheap flights to Seville and hotels during this period. Bear in mind that autumn can still be a lovely time to visit the city as sometimes the temperature can stay mild and warm throughout the month.

Destination Overview

Great weather, fascinating history and enchanting scenery are just some of the countless reasons to book flights to Seville. After an afternoon siesta, you’ll also want to sample the thriving nightlife of open-air bars and flamenco in places like Isla Cartuja, Triana and Plaza Alfalfa.

The city’s old town and Jewish quarter are absolutely charming, with beautiful parks to walk through and coach and horses for those who just want to sit and marvel at it all. The Real Alcázar nearby was originally a Moorish fort, but is now a royal palace with stunning baths, courtyards, fountains and gardens. The Torre Del Oro near the San Telmo Bridge and the Giralda minaret are other examples of Moorish architecture that you’ll want to visit.

Seville’s cathedral is enormous, on par with St. Peter’s in Rome and St. Paul’s in London. Construction for the church began in 1401 when a group of religious fanatics decided to build a church so glorious that “those who come after us will take us for madmen.” The Almohad mosque originally occupied the site, but the mosque was torn down to make room for the cathedral. The minaret, built in 1198, remains open for tourists to climb. The huge Gothic church took more than a century to complete and is a must-see sight in Seville. The interior contains 44 chapels, gilded panels, intricately carved altarpieces and mahogany choir stalls built from recycled Austrian railway cars. There is also a tomb dedicated to Christopher Columbus, but it is controversial whether or not his remains actually rest there.

Given its popularity, it’s worth searching for cheap flights to Seville as early as possible. Another option is to look for cheap flights to Malaga and take a train or bus from there.

Seville climate

Seville has a subtropical Mediterranean climate, which is characterised by dry, hot summers and mild, wet winters. The city experiences temperatures of around 21 degrees Celsius or warmer for more than half the year. July and August are the hottest months, with an average high temperature of 36 degrees. If you would rather explore the city without the searing heat, spring can be a good time to visit, as it is slightly cooler but still moderate and warm. As the weather is lovely throughout the majority of the year most tourists visit from April all the way till November.
