Maria Luisa Park, once part of the Palacio de San Telmo, was transformed into a public park in the 19th century. It is one of the most significant parks in Seville, renowned for its beautiful layout and cultural heritage. It houses historical monuments, including the Plaza de España, and serves as a testament to Spain’s romantic garden tradition.
Maria Luisa Park is located in the heart of Seville, adjacent to the Plaza de España. It can be reached by walking from the city center or via bus (lines 21, 27, and C1) and taxi. The nearest metro station is "Plaza de Cuba" on Line 1, a short walk from the park entrance.
The park is open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The best times to visit are early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and enjoy the cooler temperatures, especially in summer.
There is no entrance fee to visit Maria Luisa Park. It is open to the public free of charge. Some areas or specific events within the park may have a ticket fee, such as for boat rentals or guided tours.
No need to book tickets in advance for general entry to the park. However, if you plan to book a guided tour or rent a boat, it’s best to book a few days in advance, particularly during peak tourist seasons.
A visit to Maria Luisa Park typically takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on whether you plan to stroll, take photos, or relax by the fountains. If you’re planning to visit the Plaza de España or take a boat ride, add another hour to your visit.
Guided tours are available in multiple languages, including Spanish, English, and French. You can also find audio guides at the entrance, or book them through various tour agencies in Seville.
Start at the entrance near the Plaza de España, take a leisurely walk through the central garden, and visit the monuments and fountains along the way. Don’t miss the tiled alcoves on the eastern side of the park. End your visit by relaxing by the canal or enjoying a boat ride.
There are no light shows or special tours at night. However, the park is beautifully illuminated in the evening, making it a peaceful spot for a nighttime stroll.
The park can be quite crowded during the afternoon, especially on weekends and public holidays. The least crowded times to visit are early in the morning or later in the evening on weekdays.
There are public toilets located at various points around the park. There are also rest areas with benches, and a small café near the Plaza de España where you can buy drinks and snacks. Several food vendors are also available around the park’s main entrances.
The park is mostly accessible for elderly and disabled visitors, with wide paths and shaded areas. However, some parts may be uneven. There are no major obstacles, but it's best to check with park staff regarding specific accessibility features.
Mobile payments and credit cards are accepted in most cafés and kiosks inside the park. However, it's always good to carry some cash for small purchases like souvenirs or boat rides.
Vegetarian and vegan options are available at several nearby restaurants and tapas bars. Some restaurants offer halal options, but it's always a good idea to ask in advance.
There are small souvenir shops near the park entrance selling postcards, local handicrafts, and Andalusian-themed items like fans, ceramics, and Flamenco-related memorabilia.
