Theatrical night tours of the Real Alcázar
In addition to the concerts in its gardens, the Real Alcázar holds its theatrical night tours during the summer, dedicated in 2026 to Charles V and his wedding to Isabella of Portugal.
During July, August and September these tours also take place on Wednesdays, offering more options to discover the monument from a historical and different perspective.
The experience combines interpretation, heritage and a monumental route, making it especially interesting for those looking for a different night-time plan in the centre of Seville.
