What March is like in Seville
March is warm and lovely, with highs near 71F (22C). Orange blossom season starts, and the whole city smells sweet. Terraces fill, the parks turn green, and crowds build through the month. If Holy Week, Semana Santa, falls in March, hotel prices can triple that week and procession routes block streets.
It suits nearly everyone, especially couples and first-timers who want spring beauty. Check the Easter date before booking. If Holy Week lands in March and you do not want the crowds, go in the weeks before it for the same weather at far lower prices.

Plaza de Espana in soft light
Early morning and late afternoon light make the tiled plaza glow, and the temperatures are perfect.

What's on in March
Things to do in Seville
Real Alcazar
A royal palace still in use, with extraordinary Mudejar halls and gardens. Book timed tickets well ahead in spring.
Seville Cathedral and the Giralda
The largest Gothic cathedral in the world, with Columbus's tomb and ramps to the top of the tower.
Plaza de Espana
The grand tiled semicircle in Maria Luisa Park. Early morning and late afternoon light are best, and cooler.
Metropol Parasol (Las Setas)
The giant wooden canopy with a rooftop walkway. Go at sunset for the view over the old town.
Casa de Pilatos
A beautiful noble palace mixing Mudejar and Renaissance styles, often less crowded than the Alcazar.
Triana and flamenco
Cross the river for ceramics workshops, the market, and evening flamenco shows.
Beat the crowds
- Book the Alcazar's first entry slot and the cathedral right after opening. Tour groups build by 10:30am.
- Plan around Holy Week and the Feria if you do not want them. The weeks just before or after offer the same spring weather at far lower prices.
- Eat and move on Spanish time: sights in the morning, rest in the afternoon heat, and tapas from 8:30pm or later.
- Stay in Triana or near the Alameda rather than directly in Santa Cruz for quieter nights and more local bars.
Know before you go
- Many shops close in the afternoon, roughly 2pm to 5pm, and reopen into the evening. Big chains and the main sights stay open through the day.
- In August, some family-run restaurants and shops close for a week or more while owners take holidays.
- During Holy Week, procession routes block streets and some sights change hours. The cathedral has special schedules.
- During the Feria, many local businesses keep short hours because the city is at the fairground.
