Seville In November: 16 Best Things To Do In 2026

November is the month Seville stops performing for visitors.

The heat has gone, the terraces are quieter, and the city goes back to being a place where people live. Which is exactly why it works.

The first thing I notice every year is how dark it gets once the clocks change, after a summer that long and warm. Then, usually around the end of October, there’s one week where it goes from jacket-free to properly chilly, mornings most of all. It never takes longer than a week.

Aside from the blatant change in weather, there are still lots of things to do in Seville in November, with several decent festivals and events happening, plus a few seasonal favourites locals look forward to every year as the city slowly ramps up for the festive season. Here’s what’s on and what to book first.

15 Best Things to Do in Seville in November

1. Todos Los Santos And San Fernando Cemetery

All Saints’ Day is 1st November. It falls on a Sunday this year, so Andalucía moves the day off to Monday the 2nd. Families visit graves with chrysanthemums, the pastry shops fill up with huesos de santo, and plenty of places close.

Seville’s cemetery of San Fernando is the one to see. It’s full of the city’s grandest funerary monuments, and theatrical visits built around Don Juan Tenorio have run there around this date for years.

I tend to avoid it on the day itself. I don’t have anyone buried there, and turning up as a sightseer on the one day families have a real reason to be there feels disrespectful. It’s a lovely cemetery to wander the rest of the year, and in the weeks around All Saints’ Day you’ll see graves already decorated with flowers.

• 🕔 When: Sunday 1st November, with the public holiday observed on Monday 2nd
• 📍 Where: Cementerio de San Fernando, Avenida del Doctor Fedriani
• 💶 Cost: Free to enter the cemetery.

2. Catch A Film At The Seville European Film Festival

Nine days of European cinema, 6th to 14th November, and the 23rd edition. Tickets are very cheap per film, which makes it easy to gamble on something you’ve never heard of.

If you go, pick the film first and the cinema second.

Screenings are at Cine Cervantes, Teatro Alameda, Odeon Plaza de Armas and MK2 Cinesur Nervion Plaza. Many films run in the original language with Spanish subtitles, so check before you book a seat for something in Danish.

• 🕔 When: 6th to 14th November 2026
• 📍 Where: Cine Cervantes, Teatro Alameda, Odeon Plaza de Armas, MK2 Cinesur Nervion Plaza
• 💶 Cost: A few euros per film. Check the official site for current prices and passes.
• 🔗 Full programme on the festival website

3. See Vetusta Morla At Live Sur Stadium

Vetusta Morla are back on the road after two years of silence, and Seville is on the list.

This one is for you if you want a big night out with a local crowd. Skip it if you’d rather keep the evening quiet.

Live Sur Stadium sits outside the Estadio de la Cartuja on the Isla de la Cartuja, so plan your taxi home before the encore. It lands on the Film Festival’s final day, so the city can feel properly busy.

• 🕔 When: Saturday 14th November, 9 pm
• 📍 Where: Live Sur Stadium, Isla de la Cartuja
• 💶 Cost: Check the official site for tickets

4. Go To SICAB For The Horses

SICAB is the international show for Pura Raza Española horses, held at FIBES from 17th to 22nd November.

It’s a proper horse show, not a tourist demonstration. It’s for you if you like horses. Skip it if you’re only here for a weekend and have a long list. Go for a session, not the whole week.

• 🕔 When: 17th to 22nd November 2026
• 📍 Where: FIBES, Avenida Alcalde Luis Uruñuela
• 💶 Cost: Check the official SICAB ticket site for current prices
• 🔗 SICAB tickets

5. Spend A Weekend At OFFF Seville

OFFF is a three-day festival for design, motion graphics and digital culture, 26th to 28th November. It mixes talks, workshops and audiovisual sessions from international speakers.

It’s for designers, students and the creatively curious. Skip it if you want a relaxed weekend of tapas and sightseeing, because it takes up most of the day. If you’re coming for it, book your stay early. Festival weekends fill the hotels near the venue.

• 🕔 When: 26th to 28th November 2026
• 📍 Where: The Real Fábrica de Artillería and Fundación Cajasol
• 🔗 See full programme on the OFFF website

6. Book A Candlelight Concert

These intimate candlelit gigs feature string quartets, hundreds of candles, and a ballroom. It sounds like a date night because it is one.

Two to look at this month: a tribute to Adele at the Salón Real in the Hotel Alfonso XIII, running from late October, and Coldplay vs Imagine Dragons at the Global Omnium Auditorio, which runs until 14th December. Shows rotate often, so check what’s on for your dates before you plan around one.

I’ve been to the Coldplay one, and it was good! It feels special without trying too hard and is ideal for a date night or just something different from the usual tapas and rooftop terraces.

• 🕔 When: Evenings throughout November (dates vary)
• 📍 Where: Various venues across the city
• 🔗 Book tickets

7. Catch The End Of The Guitar Festival

The Festival de la Guitarra de Sevilla finishes on 7th November. If you land in the first week of the month, you can still squeeze a concert in.

The programme changes by night. Check the official listing for what’s left.

• 🕔 When: Until 7th November
• 📍 Where: Various venues across the city
• 💶 Check the official listing for current prices

12. Warm Up with a Flamenco Show

Flamenco hits differently in the colder months; the venues feel cosier, the energy sharper, and the whole thing just more intense. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, catching a live flamenco show in November is a must.

There are plenty of options around the city, from small tablaos in Triana to more polished performances near Santa Cruz. And yes, you can absolutely pair it with a glass of red and pretend you’re in your own moody Spanish film.

• 🕔 When: Nightly, with most shows starting between 7–9 pm
• 📍 Where: All over the city; Triana and Santa Cruz have great options
• 💶 Cost: From €20–35; some include a drink or tapa
• 🔗 Discover more about the best flamenco shows in Seville

9. Walk Through María Luisa Park’s Autumn Colours

The park is colourful all year, but in November the leaves start coming down, and the whole place feels crisper. Go in the morning, and it can feel properly cold. Go in the late afternoon, and you get golden hour earlier, plus an earthy, autumnal smell you won’t get in summer.

It’s busy with families all year, so don’t expect it to be empty. Just wander the lot. Then finish at Plaza de España at golden hour, when the red brick glows a lot redder.

It’s a great place you go when you need a break from the city centre buzz. Grab a coffee, take your time, and enjoy the crunch of leaves underfoot. If you’re into green spaces, it’s one of Seville’s most popular city parks that feels especially magical this time of year.

• 🕔 When: Anytime, but late afternoon light is gorgeous
• 📍 Where: Parque de María Luisa, just south of the Cathedral
• 💶 Cost: Free

10. Climb The Giralda Without Sweating Through Your Shirt

I’ve done the Cathedral and the Giralda many times, all year round, and November is one of the easiest months for the climb. It’s a long walk up the ramps, and you don’t arrive at the top drenched.

Expect crowds. The Cathedral is busy all year, much like the Alcázar. It’s one of the most popular places in the city, so book online and don’t count on an empty nave.

Here’s the thing people overlook. You have to be covered up to go in, and in summer most people turn up in shorts and a T-shirt. In November you’re probably dressed for it already. Not sure what counts? This guide on what to wear to the Cathedral covers it.

Around All Saints’ Day, there will be special services, so double-check opening times if you’re going on 1st or 2nd November.

• 🕔 When: Daily; late afternoon for fewer crowds
• 📍 Where: Avenida de la Constitución, city centre
• 🔗 Book via Seville Cathedral’s official site

11. Duck Into A Museum Or Exhibition

November doesn’t bring loads of rain, but when it does, you’ll want a solid backup plan. Luckily, Seville has a surprisingly good mix of museums and galleries that are perfect for a slow, culture-heavy afternoon.

Here are my top picks:

Museo de Bellas Artes. My ultimate first choice. It’s free for EU citizens and around €1.50 for everyone else, and the building is beautiful. Incredible for next to no money.

CAAC. If you like modern art and something a bit quirky housed in a former monastery and then a ceramic factory.

The rest. Kids in tow? The aquarium beats the science museum here. The science museum isn’t the best I’ve been to (London’s is), but it fills an hour on a wet day, plus the building it’s housed inside is worth a visit.

Torre del Oro gives you a good view over the city, and the Centro Cerámica Triana is the one for learning about the city’s tiles and the Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares for old-school Andalusian life and traditions. 

You’ll find more ideas in our guide to Seville’s best museums and galleries, great for when the sky turns grey.

• 🕔 When: Most open from 10 am–8 pm (closed Mondays)
• 📍 Where: Scattered around the city; most are walkable from the centre
• 💶 Cost: Many are free or around €1.50–3; or even free on certain days
• 🔗 Discover more things to do in Seville on a rainy day

12. Visit Palacio De Las Dueñas

The former home of the Duchess of Alba, and one of my favourite palaces in the city. I’ve been a few times.

It’s a lived-in palace, and it shows. The Alcázar’s ground floors have beautiful walls but not much furniture. Dueñas is packed with furniture, paintings, books and clothing; everything a family could move in. It’s a rare look at how an aristocratic family lived.

You’ll spot Moorish influences, but it’s nothing like the Alcázar. The courtyards and gardens are lovely, and my favourite room is the poster room, full of old vintage posters from in and around Seville.

November is a good month for Casa de Pilatos and the Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija too. Courtyard hopping is far less tiring when it’s 19°C. Dueñas is a short walk from Calle Feria, so on a Thursday you can pair it with Seville’s famous flea market.

• 🕔 When: Daily; late morning is ideal
• 📍 Where: Palacio de las Dueñas
• 🔗 Official site

13. Hire An Electric Bike

In August, cycling in Seville is a sweaty gamble. In November it’s the best way to cover ground without a plan.

Loop the river at sunset. Stop for photos, snacks, orange trees. Join a guided tour if you’d rather someone else navigated.

I’ve cycled a lot in Seville. Sevici, the pay-as-you-go city bikes, aren’t the best bikes, but they’re handy for nipping around the centre, and there are plenty of cycle lanes. Skip them on the cobbles of Barrio Santa Cruz. The suspension is poor, and you’re better off walking.

The e-bike earns its money when you’re covering distance: along the river, or from Plaza de España up to Alamillo Park or across to Triana. The centre is compact enough that you don’t need one there. Seville is flat, so a regular bike works too.

If you’re here for one day, skip it. If you’re here for several days, hiring a bike is one of the easiest ways to get around. You don’t need a car in Seville, and I’d advise against hiring one.

• 🕔 When: Mornings or late afternoons
• 📍 Where: Rentals across the city; tours often start near the Cathedral
• 🔗 Check e-bike availability

14. Take A Cooking Class

Cooler weather means standing near a hot stove stops being a punishment. Most classes include a market visit, a few tapas and a drink, and you leave with recipes. More options in the cooking class guide.

If you don’t fancy giving up several hours to cook, or chopping vegetables isn’t your idea of fun, then opt for a tapas tour instead.

• 🕔 When: Most days, late morning or early evening
• 📍 Where: Various kitchens around the centre or Triana
• 🔗 3.5-hour Spanish cooking class and Triana Market tour

15. Take A Day Trip To Ronda And The White Villages

If you’ve got an extra day, then take an easy day trip from Seville.

November is a great time to head out to Ronda and the surrounding Pueblos Blancos. The drive is beautiful with winding roads, olive groves, and tiny hilltop towns that look like they’ve been dropped out of a painting.

Ronda itself is the star, with its famous gorge and dramatic bridge, but villages like Zahara de la Sierra or Grazalema are worth the detour too. Cooler temps mean you can explore without overheating, and the crowds are thinner than in spring.

If you’re short on time, pick Itálica as an easy half-day trip from Seville.

Visiting the Roman ruins in November is a better month for it than summer. There’s no shade on site, so in summer it’s a slog. In November, being out in the sun is pleasant. The bus leaves from Plaza de Armas, and the return has more than one stop in Santiponce, so check which one you’re standing at before you wait.

• 🕔 When: Ronda is a full day. Itálica is half a day
• 📍 Where: Ronda is around two hours from Seville; Itálica is a short bus ride
• 🔗 Pueblos Blancos and Ronda full-day tour

10. Take a Night Tour Through Seville’s Haunted Past

Seville’s got plenty of charm by day, but by night, it leans a little more… ghostly. Several companies run guided night tours through the city’s darker corners, telling stories of haunted convents, old legends, and strange things that supposedly happened right where you’re standing.

It’s not super theatrical or horror-movie stuff, just eerie enough to be fun. A good one to do after dinner, especially if you’re up for something a bit different from your typical sightseeing route.

If you don’t fancy joining a tour, then explore some of Seville’s most haunted buildings by yourself.

• 🕔 When: Evenings, usually around 8–10 pm
• 📍 Where: Starts in the city centre (exact spot depends on the tour)
• 🔗 Discover Seville’s most haunted places here

Seville’s Weather in November

November in Seville feels like real autumn. Sunny days, bright skies, and a noticeable shift: locals in jackets, cafés dragging out the heaters, roasted chestnuts on street corners.

Rain gets more likely towards the end of the month, though it rarely hangs around. The sun sets early now.

📌 At a glance:

● Highs: ~22 °C (72 °F) early, dropping to ~17 °C (63 °F)
● Lows: ~10 °C (50 °F)
● Rain: ~4–6 days
● Daylight: ~10 hours

What to Wear in November in Seville

Cool mornings, mild afternoons, and evenings where you’ll want a layer. November is the start of Seville’s winter, not the middle of it, so skip the Arctic coat.

It’s all about layers. Early in the month it still feels warm when you’re walking in the sun. The evenings turn damp, and chilly if there’s been rain, and you’ll notice it more as the month goes on. Closed shoes, not sandals. Trainers or boots are better on wet cobbles. Umbrellas start to reappear, so pack a small one.

Here’s the one most visitors miss: indoors is deceptively cold. Most buildings have marble floors, so pack slippers or warm house shoes. You’ll want them first thing in the morning, and for the middle-of-the-night trip to the bathroom.

📌 Don’t forget to pack these items:

• Long trousers or jeans
• Midweight tops or light jumpers
• Jacket or coat, ideally rain-friendly
• Comfortable closed shoes or boots
• Scarf for evenings
• Small umbrella
• Slippers or warm house shoes (marble floors)

Where To Stay In Seville In November

November is shoulder season, which means smaller crowds, better rates and more breathing room when you book. Hotels that were packed in October ease off, and the fancier ones often drop their rates.

Santa Cruz and El Arenal are the best bases for sightseeing. Alameda and Macarena feel more local and usually come with better deals. If you’re here for the Film Festival, SICAB or OFFF, book early, because those weekends fill up fast near the venues.

If you’re only here for a couple of days, stay in the centre whatever the time of year. You’re close to everything. If the cold worries you, pick a modern hotel over a traditional one. Modern places have better air con and heating. Old-fashioned places can have decent air con but poor insulation, so you end up running it flat out, and the air gets very dry.

I like a room with a sunny terrace in winter, because on a sunny day it feels properly warm. Look for a hotel with a rooftop terrace, since that’s where you’re most likely to get sun. The pools won’t be open, but you can sit out with a coffee in the sun.

📌 Accommodation Tips:

• Mid-November rates are usually lower than high season
• Santa Cruz for charm, Alameda for bars and budget stays
• Check for heating. Not all places have it, and nights get chilly
• Good value: pensiones, boutique hotels, quiet apartments
• Favourites to check: Hotel Casa 1800, Hotel Gravina 51, Sacristía de Santa Ana
