Complete guide to school trips and end-of-year trips in Seville

Why choose Seville for school trips and end-of-year trips?

And if you're one of those people who doesn't trust so easily, here are a few good reasons and pieces of evidence to help you choose the right option, which is Seville.

Let's start with the most obvious thing, which is what you see. Walking through the streets of Seville is a treat for the body and a joy for the senses. You will walk among monuments known throughout the world, such as Seville Cathedral, the Giralda and the Plaza de España.

You will walk among history and art, which is a real treat for the mind, imagination and education of the children on your end-of-year trip. What's more, they will all learn in a fun way, through all kinds of activities, thanks to Seville's location.

You will find leisure activities related to tourism, water sports and nature, which are truly amazing for both children and the adults accompanying them.

Seville, despite being one of Spain's major cities and welcoming thousands of visitors, is also one of the safest cities. What is certain is that you will all eat well. The local cuisine is one of the best inventions of modern humanity. If you think I'm exaggerating, try it first, and then try to argue with me.

Best activities for school trips and end-of-year trips in Seville

Many of the activities recommended for adults can also be adapted for children, as Seville is suited to all types of tourism. This can be seen everywhere, from fun workshops to excellent public transport connections for groups.

Visit Seville Cathedral and the Giralda on your school trip or end-of-year trip to Seville

Let's start with the most important things, the historic centre and its most representative monuments. Seville Cathedral is truly amazing, no matter how you look at it. It is a World Heritage Site and an example of Gothic architecture of unique beauty.

It is essential that you convey to the children how important this building is, both from a religious and cultural and architectural point of view. Although when it comes to important and symbolic buildings, nothing beats the Giralda.

Seville's Giralda is a sign of the city's Arab past, another nod to history, another example of how rich Seville's culture is and how powerful its history is.

Educational activities at the Real Alcázar in Seville during your school trip or end-of-year trip to Seville

Another World Heritage Site, the Real Alcázar in Seville, makes it onto our list, and how could it not? It is a piece of history that must be enjoyed, and what makes it so special is its combination of styles: Mudejar, Renaissance and Gothic.

Put like that, with these words, it might help some children fall asleep. That's why they have special routes and tours designed for children to discover and enjoy the wonder before them. They also organise fun workshops for your school trip or end-of-year trip.

Enjoy the Guadalquivir River on your school trip or end-of-year trip to Seville

The Guadalquivir River, the centre of Seville, which runs through it from top to bottom, its soul, is another of those places you must enjoy to understand. I would tell you to enjoy its surroundings by going out for tapas, but perhaps that's not a good idea with a group of school-age children.

What's the solution? Head for the river. Almost literally. Travelling down the Guadalquivir River by boat is a fantastic idea, because there are options where a guide tells you about the history of both the river and the city as you pass by iconic landmarks.

One of these places is the Torre del Oro, a piece of local and national naval history, a true monument to military history. And not to mention some other activities you can do on the river, only suitable for the brave, such as kayaking.

Parks and squares on your school trip or end-of-year trip to Seville

Even if you decide you can't take it anymore and need a break, you can still continue learning and enjoying Seville. We make a stop, or rather a quick stop because we don't actually stop here, at the most famous square in Spain. And almost in the world, considering it appeared in a Star Wars film...

We arrive at Plaza de España, an iconic spot in the capital, built in 1929 and the perfect place to take hundreds of photos, especially at the plaque with the name of your province. Yes, they're all here, hence the name of the square. You see, there's so much to learn.

Let's surround ourselves with nature for a bit, and a walk takes us to María Luisa Park. A perfect place, now yes, to get some fresh air and rest a little. Even to do something cool like a picnic with all the children in your class and some games. Test what they have learned about Seville.

Isla Mágica on your school trip or end-of-year trip to Seville

I challenge you to go to Seville with a large group of children and try not to go to Isla Mágica. The moment one of them, just one, finds out about this theme park, you're done for.

But it's no wonder, because Isla Mágica is a fantastic, fun amusement park where you can also cool off if you decide to visit its water areas. It's the perfect finishing touch to a school trip or end-of-year trip that they'll never forget. Neither will you.
