Visitor tips

  • If you have vertigo, anemia, claustrophobia, a tendency to dizziness, respiratory problems, and/or heart problems, avoid climbing the Giralda.
  • Look for the lesser-known "Door of the Lizard" (Puerta del Lagarto), which leads to the Patio de los Naranjos. This door features an alligator sculpture and offers a unique photo opportunity.
  • Venture beyond the central nave to explore the side chapels, each filled with intricate sculptures and Renaissance paintings. These chapels are often less crowded and offer a more intimate experience.
  • Consider joining a guided tour to gain deeper insights into the cathedral's history, architecture, and hidden stories, such as legends about the Ghostly Guardian and tales of hidden treasure
  • For optimal photography, visit during the golden hour (early morning or late afternoon) when natural light enhances the beauty of stained glass and architectural details. Use a wide-angle lens to capture the vastness of interior spaces. Inside the cathedral, light can be dim. Increase your ISO setting to around 800-1600 to compensate for low lighting without using a flash, which is not allowed. This will help you capture details without introducing too much noise.
