There’s more to Seville than the Cathedral and the Alcázar. If you’ve already explored the city’s most famous landmarks, it’s time to go deeper and uncover a different side of Seville—one that’s quieter, more authentic, and full of charm.

In this guide, created for curious travelers, we introduce five lesser-known attractions that offer a fresh perspective on the city. These are places rarely found in travel brochures, but rich in history, art, and atmosphere.

The best part? You can walk to many of them from central neighborhoods like San Pablo–Santa Justa, where Bosco Eco Living and Savio Eco Living offer eco-conscious apartments that make your stay easy and sustainable.

These hidden gems include peaceful convents, secret gardens, small museums, and noble mansions that tell the story of a different Seville—one that many visitors miss. There are no long lines here, no big tour groups. Just timeless spaces, waiting to be discovered at your own pace.

Exploring these sites is also a great way to embrace a slower, more thoughtful kind of tourism. It helps support local heritage and reduces your environmental footprint—especially if you choose to stay in accommodations that share your values.

Let us guide you to five unforgettable places that will make you fall in love with a different side of Seville.

Santa Paula Convent: Art, Silence and Homemade Sweets in the Heart of Seville

A walk down Calle Santa Paula feels like stepping into another era. Just minutes from the lively city center, this peaceful corner holds one of Seville’s best-kept secrets: the Santa Paula Convent. Founded in 1473 and home to cloistered nuns of the Hieronymite order, the convent quietly shelters centuries of religious art, calm courtyards and a stillness that’s increasingly rare in a city of tourists.

Visitors are welcome in the small museum, which displays a beautiful collection of paintings, sculptures, silverwork and liturgical objects. Many of the pieces are hundreds of years old, arranged with care and humility. There are no crowds, no noisy tour groups—just silence and awe.

But there’s more to this place than art. The nuns also make traditional sweets using age-old recipes passed down through generations. From the convent’s turning window, you can purchase jam, cookies and handmade cakes. It’s a way to support the community and taste a little piece of Seville’s living heritage.

The convent is easy to reach, especially if you're staying in quieter areas like San Pablo–Santa Justa or near the Alameda. From Savio Eco Living or Bosco Eco Living, it’s a short walk to a site that embodies authenticity, reflection and a slower rhythm of travel.

Santa Paula isn’t just a monument—it’s a spiritual and cultural experience. One that invites you to pause, connect, and discover the soul of the city in a quiet and unexpected place.

Hospital de los Venerables: A Baroque Treasure in the Heart of Santa Cruz

Tucked away in the Santa Cruz neighborhood, just steps from the Alcázar, lies one of Seville’s hidden artistic gems: the Hospital de los Venerables. Though often overshadowed by the city’s major landmarks, this 17th-century building offers a breathtaking journey into Seville’s Baroque heritage.

Originally built as a residence for elderly priests, the complex has retained its spiritual character and stunning architectural charm. Its central courtyard, framed by elegant arches and a simple fountain, invites you to pause and breathe in the quiet beauty of the place.

Inside, visitors will find:

· The Baroque chapel, adorned with frescoes by Valdés Leal and radiating solemn elegance.

 · The sacristy, a fine example of decorative mastery and spatial harmony.

 · Art galleries, now home to exhibitions curated by the Velázquez Center, celebrating Seville’s Golden Age and the legacy of the painter himself.

This is not a crowded museum or a hurried tourist stop. It’s a serene cultural space where history and art unfold quietly, for those willing to look deeper.

Staying at Savio Eco Living or Bosco Eco Living, you can reach the Hospital de los Venerables with a pleasant walk through Seville’s historical center. It’s a perfect stop for travelers seeking peaceful beauty and meaningful experiences.

In a city that values its heritage, this place stands as a tribute—not only to art, but also to dignity, memory and cultural care.

Murillo Gardens and Calle Agua: A Walk Among Orange Trees, Ancient Walls and Legends

Some of Seville’s most beautiful treasures aren’t locked behind gates or displayed in museums—they’re simply waiting under the open sky. The Murillo Gardens and Calle Agua are two such places: peaceful, poetic and surprisingly quiet given their location next to the Alcázar.

These gardens, with their shady paths, tiled benches and gentle fountains, offer a break from the heat and the rush of sightseeing. Here, under the orange trees, you can sit and breathe, read a book, or just listen to the rhythm of the city slow down. It’s the kind of place that invites you to pause.

Running beside the Alcázar’s outer wall, Calle Agua is a narrow walkway steeped in history and silence. Covered in blooming bougainvillea and lined with whitewashed walls, this passage once carried royal messengers and has inspired countless legends and poems. Walking here feels like moving through a painting—where time slows and every corner whispers a story.

If you’re staying at Bosco Eco Living or Savio Eco Living, this hidden path is within walking distance, and that’s part of the beauty. Places like this are often missed by tourists who rush between monuments. But if you slow down and follow your curiosity, you’ll find them.

Murillo Gardens and Calle Agua offer something rare: a sensory experience of Seville that asks nothing but your attention. No ticket needed—just presence.

La Casa del Pintor: Living Art and Local Authenticity in the San Luis District

Tucked behind the vibrant Calle San Luis, in a former Sevillian house, lies one of the city’s most authentic creative spaces. La Casa del Pintor isn’t in tourist brochures, but locals know it well. A gallery, a workshop, a quiet meeting place. A space that breathes art.

Inside, unfinished canvases coexist with curated exhibitions. The scent of oil paint mixes with soft music. Silent visitors walk alongside curious neighbors. Each room has a different story. Some display emerging artists, others host painting classes, poetry readings or book launches.

There’s no standard visit here. You might arrive during a courtyard concert, or catch a painter working with the door slightly ajar, happy to chat. It’s unpredictable, intimate and profoundly real.

These kinds of spaces don’t just display art—they invite you to be part of it. If you're staying at Bosco Eco Living or Savio Eco Living, it's an easy 15- to 20-minute walk through the relaxed San Luis district. Along the way, you'll find small churches, cafés and corners full of character.

La Casa del Pintor doesn’t advertise itself. It waits quietly for those with the curiosity to step in. And that’s exactly what makes it such a gem.

The Lookout in Alamillo Park: Seville at Your Feet, Without the Crowds

Not all viewpoints require a climb or a tower. Some emerge quietly—where the horizon opens and the city exhales. In the northern part of Seville lies a peaceful natural viewpoint in Alamillo Park, offering a different perspective of the city: broader, quieter, greener.

As the largest park in Seville, Alamillo is a spacious, tree-filled haven that many tourists never reach. Dirt trails weave through eucalyptus groves and olive trees. Small lakes reflect the sky. And in a quiet corner of the park, away from playgrounds and bike paths, there’s a rise in the land. From there, you can see Seville spread before you: the old bridges, the towers of the Cartuja, the rooftops of the historic center, all in soft silence.

There are no signs. No fences. Just a gentle hill, a breeze, and the feeling of having stumbled upon something completely your own. It’s the kind of place made for reading, sketching, thinking—or simply sitting still.

From Bosco Eco Living or Savio Eco Living, you can reach the park easily by bike or even on foot, depending on your route. The journey itself becomes part of the experience, passing through real neighborhoods and arriving at a space Sevillanos use to relax, exercise or play with their kids. It’s authentic and unfiltered.

At this lookout, there are no crowds, no guided tours, no bells echoing. Just the rustle of leaves, the occasional bird, and a moment of stillness that feels like a gift.
