I liked that we found the exact location where we needed to enter, as there were several entrances. All the dress code warnings were accurate, and we prepared accordingly. The monument is spectacular: a superb church, the garden with the fountain, and the Giralda tower. When climbing the tower, there are alcoves; it is nice to stop, take in the views, and rest. There are also bars at the top, and you can enjoy the view in more peace than at the very top.

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.
