Triana Walking Tour

Join us as we explore Triana, one of the most authentic and iconic neighborhoods in Seville! Known to the locals as ‘the independent republic of Triana’, some even claim to have never set foot in Seville. While the beautiful riverfront is reason enough to visit this area, it’s the residents that truly make Triana unique! On this 2.5-hour walking tour you will learn about some of the famous local trianeros of the past such as Juan Belmonte, the greatest bullfighter of all time, explorer Rodrigo de Triana who sailed with Christopher Columbus, and the Red Angel of the Spanish Civil War.

Your Triana Walking Tour meets at Paseo Alcalde Marqués del Contadero, behind Torre del Oro, and it usually ends at Museo Del Castillo De San Jorge. Come experience this lively district as we take you through the streets that have been home to generations of explorers, craftspeople, bullfighters and flamenco dancers!

Explore the unique district of Triana with a walking tour

During your time here, you will no doubt also see lots of beautiful ceramics being sold. Learn how Triana became famous for pottery, and maybe even take a piece home to remember this little district by!
