Seville is one of Europe's most ancient cities, having been settled in Roman times. It's a multicultural place, thanks in part to a strong historical Moorish influence, which saw it infused with non-European culture to a greater extent than other cities further north. This heritage can be seen in everything from its magnificent Jewish synagogues to the modern Arabic-tinged rap music its DJs showcase on the nightclub scene. The city also has a very strong baroque influence that is still evident when you walk its streets. Today it is still the capital of Andalusia, an autonomous territory within Spain, and one the country's main tourist centres. Buy and sell Seville event tickets on StubHub and discover the city that gave the world its most delicious oranges along the way.

Variety is the byword in Seville

Seville FC waves the football flag high in this passionate sporting city, although Real Betis fans will highly dispute this. Football culture is something to be experienced here – it's loud and colourful, as befits the fabled Latin flair that Spain has so successfully exported to South American sports stadiums. Basketball and tennis are the other main sporting codes that you'll find in the city. Bullfighting in Seville is also hugely popular, so if you have a taste for that, it's one of the best places in the world to view the spectacle. If you're more nautically inclined, the city's International Boat Show has become a fixture on the calendar of those who are fortunate enough to sail the Mediterranean in their leisure time. Seville event tickets from StubHub are the best way to ensure that you cover all these must-do options.

Seville has something for every cultural taste

Tickets for concerts in Seville will allow you to see some of the world's top performers all year round, as the city is a favourite destination, not least due to its excellent climate. However, don't pass up the opportunity to immerse yourself in Spanish performance culture at Teatro Lope de Vega, a prime theatre for flamenco and classical music concerts. Recline in Spanish Baroque luxury as you take in a show. Seville is a river port city and you can take advantage of this by taking in a concert alongside the river at Teatro Central. Make sure to include visits to both of these in your itinerary when you're buying Seville event tickets. Younger visitors have plenty to entertain them too, with alternative music a longstanding subculture in the city. Head off to The Alameda for your indie fix after a day of sightseeing.

Other cities to visit

Seville is not at all far from Marbellaon the picturesque Spanish Riviera, so pencil in a trip down south. You can make your way back up via Gibraltar for some added exploration. Otherwise, head west to the smaller city of Cordoba. And while you're in Spain, it would be remiss not to spend at least a day in Madrid.
