6 Days Must of Andalusia Self drive from Seville

About this tour

The route threads together UNESCO World Heritage landmarks and historic quarters at your own pace, with five nights' accommodation, breakfast, and comprehensive vehicle cover included.

• Seville's Plaza de España, cathedral, and former royal residence
• Wander Seville's medieval Jewish quarter on foot

What to expect

You collect the hire car in Seville and follow a self-guided itinerary through three main cities over six days. Expect to spend 1–2 days in each location, driving between them on straightforward national routes (roughly 2–3 hours per leg). You'll navigate cobbled old towns on foot to reach palaces, mosques and cathedrals; most sites require separate admission. Breakfasts are provided at your accommodation; other meals are your choice. The pace is relaxed—there's time to linger in plazas and explore side streets without rushing. Summer heat is intense; winter is mild but some sites close earlier.
