The Alcázar of Seville is a royal palace still used by the Spanish royal family today, its Mudéjar architecture blending Islamic and Christian design in a way that later made it a filming location for Game of Thrones.
Standard Entry
Standard entry includes an audio guide covering the palace rooms and gardens, letting you explore the intricate tilework and courtyards at your own pace.
Guided Tour
A guided tour adds a live guide who explains the Mudéjar architectural style and points out the palace’s film and TV filming locations along the way.
Is the Guided Tour Worth It?
The audio guide covers the architecture well for most visitors; a live guide adds the most value for those interested in the palace’s screen history or deeper architectural detail.
