The perfect plan for those who want to savor Seville at a relaxed Christmas: illuminated streets, markets, music, and leisurely strolls from centrally located accommodation. If you're looking for Seville during the December long weekend, Christmas in Seville 2025, and Christmas accommodation in Seville, here's a clear and practical guide:
In Seville, the Christmas lights are usually switched on between the end of November and the first week of December. The city center—Avenida de la Constitución, Sierpes, Tetuán, Campana and the surrounding area—is transformed into a luminous promenade, perfect for a leisurely stroll, with shop windows, Christmas carols, and hot chocolate on every corner.
Slow trick: take the Christmas lights walk early (right after they're switched on) or later (when traffic slows down). And alternate between main avenues and parallel streets: the atmosphere is the same, but without the crowds.
The specific program changes every year, but there are some events that are always part of Seville's Christmas celebrations. Check the exact times before you go and enjoy the city at your leisure.
Nativity Scene Fair (Cathedral area): figurines, corks, moss, lighting… ideal for those who set up the nativity scene at home.
Craft Fair (Plaza Nueva): ceramics, leather, jewelry and gifts handmade by local artisans.
Christmas themed markets (various locations): stalls selling sweets, decorations and local products.
Monumental nativity scenes set up by institutions and brotherhoods, and handcrafted nativity scenes distributed throughout the city center.
Take a mini-route: City Hall → Cathedral area → Santa Cruz (small squares and courtyards). Many spaces feature thoughtful lighting and design: perfect for a photo stroll.
Christmas carol singing and drumming in courtyards, squares and brotherhoods.
Christmas concerts (classical music, gospel or Christmas flamenco) in churches and theaters in the city center.
Ice rinks / attractions (depending on the edition) and children's activities in squares and parks.
Chocolate shops and bakeries with convent sweets: the sweet stop that never disappoints.
Try the roasted chestnuts from the street vendors.
