Climate:
Seville has a drier summer and wet winter. The annual average temperature is 25.4 °C (78 °F) during the day and 13 °C (55 °F) at night. Summer season can lasts from May to October, the latter in spite of the dwindling daylight and inland position.

If you are travelling in winter you still need to take warm jacket for the evening.
The streets are mainly cobbled or block paved and can be very broken/uneven. Recommend taking some sturdy walking shoes.

While there are many local buses that go just about anywhere and a tram that covers a short route.









 


There are a couple of tourist sight seeing bus company's that can give you are guided tour of the main attractions. Tickets from 16 euro allow you to hop on/hop off all day. Good idea if you are not sure is to take a route all the way round to get you bearings and also to see what's on offer. The maps don't always give such a good idea of proximity and what there is on offer.
