sapphire4 Posted August 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Am travelling to Cadiz shortly and contemplating a trip to Seville. I have been to Cadiz before and really like it as a port visit . Just wondering if Seville is worth the journey inland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floflegs Posted August 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Seville is lovely but a long journey. We love Cadiz. Lots to see. Do the walking tours by following the coloured lines with stops for drinks and snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted August 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I agree, while it is well worth a visit it is a long, hot journey. If you don't mind the journey the destination is fascinating. Seville is beautiful and has lots of amazing things to see and do so a day off a ship would scratch the surface at best but you would see at least some of the best bits. If you have seen all there is to see in Cadiz there are other shorter trips usually available eg a tour of Jerez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted August 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If not, take the train to Jerez, visit the sherry places or the Andalusian equestrian centre. Really easy. Train was about 8 Euros and a 5 euro taxi to equestrian centre. We had a lovely day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappers Posted August 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I went to Seville from Cadiz last week,,on another cruise line,,it was fabulous. It was about an hour and 40 mins on the coach,,straight there, no stops. It's a beautiful city,,but they don't call it the oven of Spain for nothing! It was flat and easy to navigate though. For me, Seville was the highlight of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Sharon Posted August 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Seville is a beautiful city with lots to see and an easy-to-navigate central part. The Alcazar and Cathedral with the Giralda Tower are the highlights. If you have already seen Cadiz I'd recommend Seville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted August 20, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Book a cruise on Adonia.She sails up the river and docks in the centre of Seville. It is an excellent port. Just doing that one on Adonia next March. Also overnights in Bordeaux. We've done it before and it's wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset Cruiser Posted August 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 20, 2017 In short, yes. A beautiful city, stunning architecture, easy to walk around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monorail Orange Posted August 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I can only echo what's already been said - it's a long journey (1hr 45 ish) but a really nice city. If you are fine with the trip, then it's certainly worth visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Puss Posted August 20, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just been (for the second time) to Seville and (for the first time) to Bordeaux on Adonia and both are gorgeous. In my opinion Bordeaux is slightly better because there is more to see, but both are very much worth visiting. Be aware that Seville is hot. It's not known as the hottest City in Europe for nothing! It was 41 degrees C when we were there 3 yrs ago, and it was 38 degrees a week and a half ago. Highly recommended. [emoji4] Sent from my Sony Z1 Compact.

LondonTowner Posted August 20, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Seville is one of Spain's loveliest cities. However, a day from a cruise ship just doesn't do it justice. If you already know Cadiz, then I would visit Jerez. Plenty to see and do there. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanemagnet Posted August 21, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Seville is one of Spain's loveliest cities. However, a day from a cruise ship just doesn't do it justice. Exactly, the best time to experience Seville is late in the evening. However it is a rare cruise itinerary that allows for this, so the only way to do so is by staying there.

NSWP Posted August 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Book a cruise on Adonia.She sails up the river and docks in the centre of Seville. It is an excellent port. Sound great, doing that next June, D812.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapphire4 Posted August 21, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks for that. Will keep an eye on the temperatures as that's one of the reasons I holiday early and late in the season.Its our last port so I may book on the ship. Am going to book Santiago de Compostela before we travel as that's our first port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly1 Posted August 21, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I can recommend Seville. We were on Adonia in Seville 9th/10th this month. The Sail into and out of Seville was truly amazing. We ran out of time in Seville for our site seeing, so we are planning flying out for a long weekend, when the weather cools!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
