Alameda de Hércules

Nice comfortable park in the Macarena neighborhood surrounded by cafes and bars. Enjoyable place to sit and take in the local flavor. Just a 5 minute walk from the Mercado Feria.

This is a nice open part of the city with views and space. We found a place to have an expresso here and that made us happy. You will be in the center of the town.

The Alameda de Hércules is not only the oldest public park in Europe, it is also the city’s best-known youth entertainment area. A large pedestrian area full of bars and restaurants with different personalities, frequented by tourists and students My main enjoyment was seeing the four large colums with figures on at either end of the plaza.

"Alameda de Hércules" (Hercules mall) was built in 1574. Originally a promenaded public garden, it is located in the northern half of the city's historic center. It is the oldest public garden in Spain and Europe. It is a nice garden area, less touristy than the rest of the city, with a few restaurants and several stalls selling street food.

They were not too far from our hotel and we walked there one evening. They look ok and the history of the place is interesting, but nothing super specific about them

I went to a great restaurant -Las Columnas and really liked the vegan paella ! The dish is very generous and rally can be enough for two people! The staff are super friendly and there is a great atmosphere there.

If you have enough days in Seville it’s great to wander around this area. Lots of little shops, drop in to see Luis in the nearby record shop, Record Sevilla. The two columns are almost like gatekeepers for the area. Street art, slightly scruffy streets…this is more like real Seville and we enjoyed wandering here and meeting local people. Lots of bars and places to eat.

Powerful and beautiful city, stronghold of Andalusia. Plaza España alone justifies the visit. It's of rarely seen beauty. Its other strength is the Giralda and the cathedral, but I choose its streets and alleys, the commercial and the others where each angle or perspective is a photo. We add the Gualdaquivir River, with the Triana Bridge, the Torre del Oro, fantastic view; the Triana neighborhood. Farther afield, I recommend the Alameda de Hercules with a wide variety of small and large places to eat or drink. Throughout the city you can enjoy the exquisite and varied Andalusian cuisine.

A nice, beautiful boulevard for a walk in the sun. It was very relaxing. I passed by a couple of times during daytime. It was quiet and peaceful there.

With lots of places to eat or drink, in central part sometimes have a market with the most diverse things.
