Good to know before booking

👕

Shoulders and knees must be covered

The Cathedral is a working place of worship and applies a dress code at the entrance: no bare shoulders, no shorts or skirts above the knee, and hats off inside. It is enforced, and there is no way around it once you are there — plan what you wear before you set out. A light scarf in your bag is enough in summer.
🪪

An ID or passport is needed for every participant

Cathedral tickets are nominative: each one carries the name of a single visitor, and the monument can ask for matching identification at the entrance. Have the document numbers to hand before you start the booking — one per person, children included.
🕘

Arrive 15 minutes before your entry time

Your entry is tied to a specific time slot set by the monument, and the group goes in together. Arriving a little early means a relaxed start instead of a rush.
🔔

Climbing the Giralda: what it actually involves

There are almost no steps: the tower was built with 34 wide, gentle ramps so that a rider could reach the top on horseback. Only the final stretch up to the bell chamber is a staircase, and there is no lift. We do not recommend the climb for visitors with reduced mobility, and it is not wheelchair accessible. You are welcome on the tour either way: if you would rather not go up, you wait inside the Cathedral while the group climbs, and the visit continues together afterwards.
⛪

You can stay until the monument closes

The guided visit lasts around 1 hour 30 minutes, but your ticket does not expire with it. You are free to stay on afterwards, until closing time, to go back to whatever you liked most, take your time over the chapels and the treasury, or rest in the shade of the Patio de los Naranjos.
✅

Your tour runs, whatever the group size

We never cancel a departure for lack of participants. Once your booking is confirmed, the visit goes ahead on the date and time you chose — even if you are the only ones.

Where is the meeting point?

At the main entrance of the Archivo de Indias, the monument between the Alcázar and the Cathedral. Access is through the single door on the Avenida de la Constitución side, next to the Jardines de la Lonja. Your guide or a member of our team will be waiting there before the departure time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the guided tour in English?

Yes, entirely. The tour is led by an official English-speaking guide and the whole group is English-speaking. It is not a tour in another language with translation, nor a mixed group where every explanation is repeated twice.

Are the Cathedral and Giralda tickets included?

Yes. A single booking covers your official entry to Seville Cathedral, access to the Giralda bell tower and the guided tour with a confirmed entry time. There is nothing to buy separately and you do not queue twice.

Is there a dress code for Seville Cathedral?

Yes, and it is enforced at the entrance. Shoulders must be covered, shorts and skirts must reach the knee, and hats come off inside. It applies to everyone, children included, because the Cathedral is a working place of worship. A light scarf or shirt in your bag is enough in summer — once you are at the door there is no way around it.

Is the climb up the Giralda difficult?

Easier than most people expect. The tower was designed so that a rider could reach the top on horseback: instead of a staircase there are 34 wide, gentle ramps. Only the final stretch up to the bell chamber is a staircase. Most visitors in good health manage it without difficulty; take your time, wear comfortable shoes, and bear in mind that the tower gets hot in summer.

Can I join the tour without climbing the Giralda?

Yes, and you are very welcome to. There is no lift, so the tower is not wheelchair accessible and we do not recommend the climb for visitors with reduced mobility or heart conditions. If you would rather not go up, you wait inside the Cathedral while the group climbs, and the visit continues together afterwards. Tell us when you book and the guide will know.

Is the Royal Alcázar included in this tour?

No. This tour covers the Cathedral and the Giralda. If you also want to see the Royal Alcázar, our full tour brings the three monuments together in one booking, with one guide and one entry time. It is also the better option when Alcázar slots are already sold out for your dates, because the Cathedral rarely fills up as far in advance.

How long does the tour last, and can I stay afterwards?

The guided visit lasts around 1 hour 30 minutes, including the climb up the Giralda, and your ticket does not expire when the guide finishes. You can stay inside until the monument closes: go back to whatever you liked most, take your time over Columbus’s tomb, the chapels and the treasury, or rest in the shade of the Patio de los Naranjos with the Giralda above you.

Do I need to show an ID?

Yes, for every person on the booking. Cathedral tickets are nominative: each one carries the name of a single visitor and staff can ask for matching identification at the entrance. Children need their own named ticket too, so have the document numbers to hand before you start the booking. A photo on your phone is normally accepted.

Where is the meeting point?

At the main entrance of the Archivo de Indias, the monument between the Cathedral and the Alcázar. Access is through the single door on the Avenida de la Constitución side, next to the Jardines de la Lonja. Your guide or a member of our team will be waiting there before the departure time.

Can I cancel the tour?

Yes. Cancellation is free up to 7 days before the tour, with a 100% refund. Up to 24 hours before departure, the refund is 70%. After that we cannot refund, because the monument tickets have already been issued in your name and cannot be resold.
