Spring (March-May) is the ideal time to visit Seville. Temperatures range from 15-25°C (59-77°F), perfect for sightseeing. The city bursts with orange blossoms, and major events like Semana Santa (Holy Week, usually March/April) and the Feria de Abril (April Fair, two weeks after Easter) showcase Seville at its most vibrant. Gardens are in full bloom, and outdoor dining is delightful.
Fall (September-November) is the second-best period. After the intense summer heat subsides, temperatures moderate to 18-28°C (64-82°F) in September and cool further in autumn. Tourist crowds thin out, hotel prices drop, and the city returns to normal life. Cultural events resume, and the weather is excellent for exploring.
Summer (June-August) brings extreme heat with temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C (104°F) in July and August. Many locals leave the city, some businesses close, and midday sightseeing is challenging. However, prices are lower, and fewer tourists mean shorter lines at monuments. If visiting in summer, plan indoor activities during peak heat (2-6 PM), stay hydrated, and seek accommodation with air conditioning.
Winter (December-February) is mild (10-17°C / 50-63°F) compared to northern Europe but can be rainy and occasionally chilly. Some outdoor attractions are less appealing, but Christmas decorations create festive atmosphere, and you'll experience authentic local life without tourist crowds.
