The best time to visit Seville is in spring (March–May) and autumn (September–early November), when temperatures are mild (17–29°C), rainfall is moderate, and the city is vibrant with festivals and outdoor life. These seasons offer ideal conditions for sightseeing, enjoying gardens in bloom, and experiencing Seville’s lively atmosphere without the extreme summer heat.
The least favourable time to visit is during peak summer (July–August), when daytime temperatures frequently exceed 40°C and the city can feel deserted as locals escape the heat. Outdoor activities are best limited to mornings and evenings, and the intense sun makes midday exploration uncomfortable for most travellers.
