subject: Celebrate The Season In Seville! [print this page] Thankfully, because of the economy there are some really wonderful travel deals out there. To take advantage of those this holiday season you may want to think about traveling to Seville.
In order to get to Seville you are going to need to fly there. The airport that you want to fly to is the San Pablo Airport. It is only about 10 kilometers outside of Seville. You can take a bus from the airport to the city center and it only takes about a half hour to get from place to place. However, be aware that on your return trip you will want to set aside some extra time. Typically the bus takes about ten minutes longer that way.
Regarding your holiday lodging in Seville you can make traditional hotel reservations. However, that is often a very odd way to wake up on Christmas morning. Instead, you might want to think about renting a vacation apartment. Vacation apartments are wonderful because you have ample room for your family to gather together. Additionally, the cost is really comparable to a traditional hotel. In fact, because you will have your own kitchen you may even be able to save some money by staying in a vacation apartment.
Once you have gotten to Seville and gotten settled into your vacation apartment it is time for you to start seeing the city. You need to be aware of the fact that many attractions adjust their operating hours during the holiday season. Be sure that you take the time to research the operating schedules so that you do not end up missing some of the must see attractions.
One of the most interesting attractions is actually located 9 kilometers outside of Seville in Italica. This is an ancient Roman city that has had portions of it restored. This will give you the opportunity to step back in time to see what Seville was hundreds of years ago.
During the holiday season, you must stop and see the Cathedral of Seville. This Cathedral was built as a symbol of the wealth of Seville. In fact for many years it was the only entry point of the city. You can even see Christopher Columbus' tomb in the Cathedral of Seville.
If you have a bit of last minute shopping that needs to be done. You will certainly want to visit the Plaza de Espana. The Plaza de Espana was built specifically for tourists as a way to showcase Spanish goods. However, many people may recognize it from the major motion picture Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. It was used as a location for the shots that needed to take place on the planet Naboo.
One thing is true, Seville is the heart of Spain and it is beautiful during the holidays. If you are looking for a place to go this holiday season head off to Seville and create memories that you will not soon forget.
