Royal Alcázar of Seville, Seville

Amazing way to spend a day in Sevilla. The grounds are well kept, the history as rich as it gets and even the crowds seemed tolerable. The gardens were occupied with peacocks and other small animals and the ponds were filled with fish and ducks. Overall a nice refreshing visit to Ottoman influenced architecture while in Spain. Tickets were available to purchase when we arrived. Our time to visit was just 40 minutes away so a walk around the church grounds was sufficient before lining up. We were able to enter 15 minutes before our assigned time so no need to wait the full wait time.

It's a must see when you visit Seville. But make sure you give it enough time. Depending on your level of interest to check each royal rooms and taking pictures, the palace, its upper floor (you need an additional ticket for it, around 5-6 euros) and the huge gardens will easily take a few hours. So it'd be best to visit it in the morning so it's not too crowded yet and you'll have enough time to see everything and enjoy sitting on the palace's sunny porches or simply sitting in the green gardens. You can buy a ticket online. Advisable to book it as soon as you arrive in Seville because the visit to the upper floor is super limited. I didn't get the chance to visit it, only the ground floor (it's actually enough for me). If you like to hear a bit of history, you can buy your ticket including an audio guide. Interesting to hear the stories behind certain royal rooms, paintings and carvings of the palace dome. Buy the ticket from the alcazar's official website. The gardens are children friendly. There are ducks and paradise birds walking around, also at the fountains. While walking through the rooms, it could be quite crowded to your children's liking.
