Seville is known for its vibrant nightlife, which will surely not disappoint you. Nightclubs, bars, and pubs are spread throughout the city, and you can find one on every corner. There is such an abundance that you’ll hardly be able to go to half of them. Every year, new clubs open, and to get in, especially the trendy ones, it’s best to be well-dressed. Security guards pay attention to your dress and appearance, and if you enter with groups that are too large, you risk being turned away.
Spring and summer are undoubtedly the best times to go out. This is when the terraces that host outdoor parties open. Since dinner is usually eaten around 10 or 11, most people don’t leave before midnight. If you want to go to some clubs, you’ll have to wait until 2 a.m., and they don’t fill up until at least 3 a.m. A typical night out ends around 6 or 7 a.m., but can go on even longer. Something many people aren’t used to, but trust us, you’ll get there! All you need to do is take a nap and you’ll be rested.
Spaniards love and are accustomed to spending time outside. Throughout the year, you can see people standing outside open-air cafes with their Cruzcampos, deep in conversation. You’ll also see people with bottles of alcohol in the streets and squares. This trend is called “botellón,” and a typical place for it is the Alameda de Hércules, a large square lined with numerous restaurants and bars. However, it has become increasingly difficult to spend the evening this way due to complaints from neighbors. However, young people still gather along the river and in the parks to enjoy the sunny weather and each other’s company.
People here generally spend more time outdoors and in bars than we do in the north. The good weather will undoubtedly facilitate this phenomenon, but even when it’s colder, people stay outside with their friends and let their children play in the streets. What can be a shock is seeing children after midnight. Although, with temperatures reaching 45 degrees Celsius in the shade during the day, it’s not surprising that people are out and about at night. Both young and old alike. What’s great about Spain is that people spend a lot of time together and take their children wherever the adults go. The home isn’t a central meeting point like it is in Sweden, which is very refreshing.
