Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Seville is either spring or fall, when days are sunny and temperatures are mild. The city's biggest events, Semana Santa and Feria de Abril, take place in the springtime, usually at the end of March or during April. Bear in mind that Seville can get really crowded and prices are generally higher during these weeks. Sevillan summers are some of the warmest in all of Europe and the heat could become unbearable, so try to avoid this period of the year.

Passport / Visa

Spain can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are not sure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend you to contact the embassy or consulate in your country. In order to enter the Schengen zone, international (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip. Citizens from Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but they must bring with them a valid ID during their stay.
