You can buy a ticket (1.20 euros) at any station, from the machine on the platform, which you stamp on the tram itself. A more economical option is the combined bus/tram rechargeable pass, Tarjeta Multiuso (see above, Bus).
The Sevilla Card includes guided tours, boat trips, and entry to a number of museums and attractions, as well as unlimited travel on public transport. The Sevilla Card costs 33€ for one day, up to 77€ for five days. You can buy Sevilla Cards from tourist offices or online, which secures you a 5% discount.
Tram
Seville has one tramline that connects a stretch of the city of longer than 1km between Plaza Nueva with the Prado de San Sebastian bus station. Tickets, timetables and payments work in exactly the same way as the bus system and the tram is a quick and reliable way to get around. Tourist Cards and Sevilla Cards are also valid on trams. http://www.gowithoh.com/us/guide-seville/public-transport/https://www.visitasevilla.es/en/history/seville-app
We could say that the freidurías are like local Sevillian fast food, but very high quality. Casually enjoy the very freshest delights of the sea. Always served in paper cones

Your visit could start with the most emblematic monuments of the city: the Cathedral, the Giralda, the Real Alcazar...
The Cathedral of Seville is the largest Gothic temple in the world and the third largest temple of Christendom. Its interior is majestic: don’t miss the greater altarpiece and the tomb where the remains of Christopher Columbus rest. It is also spectacular to tour its rooftop decks (remember to book this in advance) and see the city from the Giralda, which was once the world’s tallest tower.

The Reales Alcázares are a must see. It is the oldest inhabitable royal palace in Europe, and was recently home to the Kingdom of Dorne in the famous series, Game of Thrones.
After marvelling at these locations, we suggest a little break, enjoying the seductive Sevillian cuisine. Relax on any terrace and ask for some tapas! In the afternoon, what about a stroll through the incomparable Barrio de Santa Cruz, that wonderful labyrinth with narrow streets, ending at the Murillo Gardens and Paseo Catalina de Ribera. Not far away, you have Plaza de España, https://www.visitasevilla.es/en/history/2-days-and-1-night
The cuisine of Andalusia is characterised by olive oils and local hams, fresh gazpachos and fried fish, accompanied by local wines and sherries.Seville, Spain the most exciting and popular pedestrian section is the Old Town — Santa Cruz with the narrow pedestrian streets and lots of shopping and eating.
Seville’s center is one of the typically great European urban neighborhoods with a mix of residential and shopping, pedestrian lanes, neighborhood plazas, just a real people-friendly place.
Alcázar is the royal palace of Seville, renowned as one of the most beautiful buildings in Spain, an outstanding example of mudéjar architecture.
Cathedral of Seville is the world’s largest Gothic church -- it seems like you are strolling through a vast, indoor stone forest.
Seville travel video This is a theatrical and festive place that was Spain's most important city during the glorious Golden Age of exploration and conquest.
Spectacular architecture, vibrant festivals and flamenco flamboyance; Seville has plenty of peacock oomph. There is the cathedral designed so that “those who see it built will say we’re mad”; its Plaza de España, created for the world expo in 1929; the Real Alcázar (royal palace), as seen in Game of Thrones; plus the winding alleys of the Jewish quarter (Santa Cruz). Add in private palaces, Moorish patios, Roman columns here and there, and a golden tower. All this, and it’s the former home of Carmen and Don Juan and Velázquez https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2017/apr/08/seville-city-guide-what-to-do-best-hotels-restaurants-bars

but some of the most important Flamenco spots are located within the Santa Cruz neighborhood. https://www.gpsmycity.com/tours/flamenco-walking-tour-in-seville-3253.html
One of our favorites is the historic Mercado de Feria(Plaza Calderón de la Barca). You can’t visit this market without having some fish on the terrace of La Cantina. This simple (but delicious!) bar is located on the edge of the market

The Cathedral and the Alcázar Palace among them. However, strolling through Parque Maria Luisa and taking in the breathtaking Plaza de España is definitely one of the best things to do in Seville
Seville · Mercado de Triana
If there is a neighbourhood which represents perfectly Seville, that will be Triana, which is on the bank of the Guadalquivir River. This place is full of history and tradition remains here. The Mercado de Triana is located within the limits of this neighbourhood, just in the heart of Triana next to legendary streets of the capital of Andalusia such as San Jacinto, Betis and Castilla.
The food market is almost two hundred year old, though the original building was built during the 12th century. Within its ground floor, remains of Saint George’s Castle which is of Arabian origin and which was later used as Spanish Inquisition seat during the Middle Ages, can still be found.
the city’s marketplaces
In Seville, markets are not just to buy your produce and take it home, but also offer a great chance to try the delicious, fresh food on site. Our favorite markets to enjoy Sevillano cuisine are Mercado de Triana (Calle San Jorge, 6) and the Mercado de Feria (Plaza Calderón de la Barca), the oldest market in the city. With fresh fish, cooked fresh to order, delicious meats and some great rice dishes, there is a something for everyone and the markets are one of a number of unmissable places to eat in Seville.
Tapas bar at the back is a hidden gem. It's called something like Marquis de Riscal and the waiter recommended to try scallops with garlic, they were divine!
Between 12:00 and 14:00 people take a seat or stand at the tapas bars to eat. We ate at Cervecería Loli (great seafood). Delicious paella.
Theres more restaurants and tapas bars than stalls. But diffinitely worth going to the flamenco session which we accidentally found . It lasts 1hr and the artists are professionals and it's cheaper than the other flamenco shows in the city centre.
Good tapas (Loli at stall #24-25 is terrific),
What we didn't expect was the best Flamenco show ever. There was this small theater with about 15 seats in the back of the market near the open café. We thought nothing of it, but decided to try it for the price of 15 Euros per person at 12:00 noon. What we got was one of the best experiences of our 5 day stay in Seville.
====================
Mercado Lonja del Barranco
Despite its smart image the food was mostly reasonably priced. Beers were just over a euro. Most tapas or media racion portions were between €3 - €5.
My personal favourites were the Tortilla Stall and the Paella stall for the arroz negro which was lovely. Had some good padron peppers and empanandas too. If I'd stayed longer there were some great looking oysters, almejas and pescados fitas which would have been next on my list.
https://nextbiteoflife.com/paella-in-seville/
a little paella place owned by people from Valencia. This place is called La Paella Seville. It is located in the center. They only serve the best paella in Seville :-). We got there early, and they were still making it as we got there soon after they opened. We booked a table and walked around some more, because the first batch would not be ready for about 30 minutes. It was a good thing we reserved space. It was full by the time we came back, and several people that stopped by afterwards could not find seats and most left.
They only make 3 kinds of paella. The traditional one with chicken and rabbit, a seafood one, and a Negro paella, made with squid ink. We wanted to try all three, so we had tapa sized Negro and Marisco to share, and then we had regular sized plates. I had the traditional. It was good, make that great. It was a lot too, it cost just €5.95 for the big plate, and €2.50 for the tapa size.

We love looking around, buying food and eating at the bars in Spanish markets. During a week we visited three of the other big indoor markets in Seville and although each one has totally different styles and charms, we decided the Mercado de Triana was the best all rounder. The next best one is the Mercado de Feria (ancient maze of narrow alleys with lovely outside bars), Then Mercado Provenzal Encarnación (modern, clean and the best one for fish and meat but not so good for bars) and finally our least favourite one is the Mercado del Arenal (which is undergoing refurbishment outside and a bit empty and shabby inside and no bars open till early afternoon)
Mercado Barranco (official name is Mercado Lonja del Barranco) is one of the latest must go to places in Seville. The official opening was at the end of 2014 after going through extensive renovation. It has become quite the hangout for local Sevillanos as well as tourists from all over the world. It is located close to the center of the city. The building itself is a design by Gustave Eiffel.

The Real Alzcazar de Sevilla was built over the site of Seville’s former Moorish fortress and is a scaled down version of Granada’s Alhambra. The real highlight is the gardens, which were used as the Water Gardens of Dorne in Game of Thrones.
