Seville is Andalusia's theatrical capital: the Alcázar's Mudéjar halls, the world's largest Gothic cathedral, flamenco tablaos in Triana, orange-tree plazas and tapas crawls past midnight.
At roughly €90 a day, the trip runs about €270 excluding flights.

The Alcázar & Cathedral
The Real Alcázar's Mudéjar halls and gardens are the world's oldest royal palace still in use. The Cathedral's La Giralda tower climbs past the world's largest Gothic interior — the ramp, not stairs, was designed for horses.
The Flamenco Nights
Triana's tablaos across the river are the real deal — the birthplace of flamenco's Sevillanas. Book the intimate rooms, not the dinner theatres.
