Seville Cathedral and Alcázar combined tickets

Which Seville Cathedral combo to book

First visit. The Seville Super Combo is the one to book. It's by far the most reviewed combo in Seville and covers the two big sights: the cathedral with the Giralda, and the Royal Alcázar across the square. The audio guide app is a useful extra for the Alcázar's gardens and halls. The cathedral and Alcázar face each other, so you can do both in one day with lunch in between.

Arriving by plane. The Seville Pass has the same core plus a one-way transfer from the airport to the city centre. It's worth it if you'd need that ride anyway. If you only want the two monuments without the pass extras, Tiqets also sells Seville Cathedral + Royal Alcázar + Audio Guide as a two-part bundle with a fast-track Alcázar ticket; it has few reviews so far.

Getting your bearings. Seville Hop-on Hop-off Tours + Seville Cathedral adds a 24-hour bus ticket, handy on a first day or in the summer heat. Seville: Boat Cruise + Drink + Appetizer + Seville Cathedral pairs the cathedral with a cruise on the Guadalquivir.

Evening plans. The Seville Highlights Pass swaps the transfer for a flamenco show at Tablao Flamenco La Setas: cathedral and Alcázar by day, flamenco at night. Seville Cathedral + Triana Theater Seville: Flamenco Show, Seville Cathedral + Tablao Flamenco La Setas and Flamenco Dance Museum + Seville Cathedral are lighter two-part versions without the Alcázar.

Families. Seville Aquarium + Seville Cathedral pairs the cathedral with the aquarium by the river. It's a good backup if the kids have had enough of monuments.

Is a combo cheaper than separate tickets?

The two-part bundles (Alcázar, aquarium, hop-on hop-off bus, river cruise and the flamenco pairs) are a little cheaper than the separate tickets. The passes are priced as single products. Their real value is that the Alcázar and cathedral tickets are booked together, which matters in spring and other busy periods when slots fill up. Compare the price with the parts you'd use: if you don't need the airport ride, the Super Combo is the better fit.

How the tickets work

After booking you receive a separate ticket for the cathedral and for each other part, usually on your phone. The cathedral part is a ticket that includes the Giralda, skip-the-line in almost every combo; the climb is by ramps rather than stairs. The Alcázar part usually comes with an entry time, so pick that slot first and plan the cathedral around it. Opening hours for visitors change around religious services and holidays, so check the day you choose. Cancellation conditions can differ per part, so read them on the booking page.
