Historic Landmarks Walk, Seville

Get to know Seville, Andalusia's capital, on a two-hour guided walk around this 2,000-year-old city. Meet your guide and the rest of your small group at Plaza de San Francisco's Fuente de Mercurio (Mercury Fountain) to start with some background information on one of Spain's largest cities. Said to have been founded by Hercules, Seville has since been occupied by the Romans and taken over by the Moors and Vikings before falling into Spanish hands during the Reconquest.

Next, you'll follow your guide to the Catedral de Sevilla, which, along with the Real Alcázar de Sevilla and the Archivo General de Indias, forms part of the city's UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marvel at the sheer size of the Gothic building, which became the largest cathedral in the world in the 16th century. Then, wander south toward the Alcázar, which predates the cathedral and was used as a filming location for the TV series "Game of Thrones." Nearby, you'll also find Universidad de Sevilla. Founded in the early 16th century, its student population of nearly 60,000 gives the city a youthful atmosphere.
