Embark on a Christmas lights self-guided walk
START. Begin your walk on the vibrant Calle Feria, known for its lively atmosphere. This is a relatively long street, so I suggest you start right in front of the charming Omnium Sanctorum church.
1. Then, turn around leaving the church to your back and walk along Calle Peris Mencheta until you reach the Alameda de Hércules.
2. The Alameda de Hércules is a famous public garden known for its historical significance. Nowadays it’s a bustling are, especially during Christmas. Turn left and walk all the way down the boulevard until you reach the far end to enter Calle Trajano. Then, continue along this street until you get to Plaza del Duque.
3. In Plaza del Duque you’ll see the popular store department El Corte Inglés. Its modern building usually stands out for its Christmas decorations both at the façade and on its shop windows. As you leave the El Corte Inglés building behind, walk along Calle Campana, a bustling street that leads into the heart of Seville.
4. Then, continue along Calle Laraña, where you can enjoy the festive decorations and lights.
5. Now enter Plaza de la Encarnación and walk around the Setas de Sevilla, an iconic wooden structure offering panoramic views of the city. Admire its spectacular decoration. This is the first highlight of this Seville Christmas lights walk.
6. Continue walking along Calle Imagen. This is not a very pretty street, so you can walk relatively fast to get to the beautiful Plaza del Cristo de Burgos. This square features many exotic trees such as palm ficus and lianas, and is surrounded by residential buildings and shops. Walk until the end of the square to enter the narrow and charming Calle Sales y Ferré. Turn right on Calle Boteros and left on Calle San Juan to reach Plaza de la Alfalfa.
7. Plaza de la Alfalfa is an extremely popular square known for its lively ambiance, with a small but very well-used playground and lots of cafes and restaurants. This used to be a commercial area housing a market since the Roman times. Nowadays it’s a place where locals gather to chat and have a drink.
8. Turn left at Calle Pérez Gáldos to enter Plaza de la Pescadería. This charming square has some good tapas bars.
9. From there, take Calle Huelva to reach Plaza de Jesús de la Pasión, a picturesque location with beautiful architecture and some interesting small shops.
10. Once you’ve explored the square, walk towards Calle Lineros and turn left at Calle Córdoba. After a few steps you’ll be in Plaza del Salvador, one of the most important squares in Seville. This plaza provides a popular meeting place and destination for both locals and visitors alike, with its various bars offering outside tables. Explore the square and admire the magnificent architecture that surrounds you. This is another highlight of this Seville Christmas lights walk.
11. Now take Calle Cuna, one of the main shopping arteries of the city center and turn left at Calle Cerrajería. Keep walking and then turn left again to enter Calle Sierpes, one of the most famous shopping streets – it’s beautifully adorned with Christmas lights.
12. Then, turn right at Calle Jovellanos and then left to Calle Tetuán. Proceed along Calle Tetuán, another major shopping street in the city, while admiring the lights, the decorations and the shop windows.

14. Walk around the City Hall to take Calle Granada and access Plaza de San Francisco. This square is known for its historical buildings, particularly the Baroque façade of the City Hall. The impressive lights and decorations are another highlight of this Seville Christmas lights walk, especially the 15-meter tall Christmas tree (the biggest in Seville). Every one wants to take a selfie here.
