Sightseeing Sightseeing Overview Thankfully Seville is a relatively compact city with most of its major sights within walking distance. Locals refer to the cathedral as the central point. A slow climb up the bell tower to take in the view is highly recommended for getting your bearings. From the cathedral, the labyrinth of narrow walkways and surprising patios of the old Santa Cruz quarter are just a few steps away. In the opposite direction, it’s an easy stroll to the grandeur of the Torre del Oro and Maestranza bullring in the Arenal quarter. Even crossing the river to Triana is no real toil for the moderately healthy, spurred on no doubt by the thought of a riverside drink at one of several terrace-bars located along Calle Betis. The only major sights where public transport would be preferable to blistered feet are the Isla Magica and the old city walls in La Macarena quarter.
