Sevilla is a really underrated city. I don´t get why it´s not as popular as Paris or London. It´s beyond gorgeous and you just can't seem to get enough of it. It´s also a city of tons of college students. I myself am always looking after my money so I am always happy when there are free things to do around the city. If you feel the same, carry on reading!
1. Hospital De Los Velnerables
It used to be home to priest and is just a lovely piece of architecture in the middle of the city. It´s a bit hidden and not really a lot people go there (even though it is in travel guides). It´s a beautiful interior courtyard connected with a baroque style church. Just grab yourself a book and have a nice sunday afternoon. `Cause every sunday afternoon you can get in for free, otherwise it´s about 2€ more or less.
2. Museum De Bellas Arte
If you are into art and a bit of spanish history, go to this museum! It´s a lovely building inside and out. You can learn a lot about the spanish way of living. For a bit of alone time it´s always a good place to start. And the entrance is completely free.
3. Las Setas
That´s how the Sevillan people call it, otherwise also known as 'Metropol Parasol' It´s a construct made out of wood and about 26m tall. That way you can look over the whole city. You have to pay 3€, but you can turn them into a drink upstairs, so it´s not really 'paying' since you get a nice refreshing for it. And what better way than to have a nice drink over the roofs of Seville?
4. Flamenco Show T De Triana
Spain is famous for their Flamenco and rightly so! You can book professional Flamenco shows online (for example La Casa del Flamenco is pretty good), but also a nice way is to go on a thursday night (and sometimes other nights as well) to T de Triana . You can buy a drink or not, however you prefer and then you can watch a traditional Flamenco show, it´s pretty cool! Definitely an experience not to miss when in Spain.
5. Picnic in Parque Maria-Luisa
This is basically what my sunday afternoons consisted off. Tanning and eating in the park. It is just as lovely as you´d imagine. The park is quite big and right next to Plaza de Espana and Plaza de Americano. So you may add a bit of sightseeing as well.
6. Free City Tour
Every day at 10 am there is a guide (you´ll find him for sure, he hands out flyers and looks just like a typical tour guide) standing at Plaza Nueva and he offers a free tour around the city. It´s a professional guide and an offer from the city. My friends made the tour (I myself didn´t), but I heard lots of good things about and if you don´t want to pay for a hopp on hopp of bus than this might be just the right thing for you!
Have a fantastic summer day,

This looks like such a beautiful place! I hope I can visit here one day. It's true, I've never even heard of this place before. The pictures are stunning also, looks like it was taken with film camera ;).
