Did you know?

Palacio de las Dueñas was only opened to the public in 2016, after centuries as a private residence of the House of Alba.

The thing to do in Seville is visit these three wonderful locations. The combo ticket is great value. Alcázar was truly thought provoking in that I could not fathom the delicate detail and the process of construction. My only criticism is that the skip the line did not exist when I arrived at the cathedral but I was grateful that my time slot was 4.15 pm so the line was not long. The Headout app is very easy to use and I would not hesitate to purchase using it again.

What made it special was that I was able to buy the tickets in advance and for the exact date and time I wanted to visit the Alcázar of Seville. Plus, the whole process was quick and easy.

Easy entry, just make sure you have your passports because they will checked. The free audio guide was great for the room tours. The garden was magical! Loads of seats dotted around so you can sit peacefully and enjoy the garden. Peacocks roaming freely and loads of water features. Probably one of the best interiors and gardens I've ever seen. I would definitely visit again just to enjoy the outdoor space. I suggest booking the first slot in the morning but slots are booked out very fast.

Hi there, I chose a good time for sightseeing. At 9:30 AM, you could explore the site in peace. The light was great for photos, the app works smoothly, and buying the ticket in advance was a good decision. I had a great time with my friend. I think I'll use the app again in the future.
