Audio Guide of María Luisa Park

María Luisa Park is open every day from 8:00 a.m. to midnight. Admission is free, and it is located right in the center of Seville. The main entrance is opposite Plaza de España. You can get there by public transport on bus lines 1, 3, 6, 30, 34, and 37. More details are available on the official Seville tourism website.

Access to the park is completely free. However, some activities inside the park, such as boat rentals at Plaza de España (approximately €6 for 45 minutes) or special guided tours, do have a cost. The main landmarks (Plaza de España and Plaza de América) are also free to enter.

It is recommended to set aside between 2 and 4 hours to enjoy it fully. The park covers 34 hectares with historic gardens, monumental fountains, and iconic buildings such as Plaza de España. If you plan to combine the visit with the nearby squares (Plaza de España and Plaza de América), allow half a day.

It was donated in 1893 by Infanta María Luisa Fernanda de Borbón and transformed for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is listed as a Site of Cultural Interest and is an example of Andalusian regionalist style, with Arab, Renaissance, and Mudéjar elements. Its pavilions and roundabouts symbolize the brotherhood between Spain and its former colonies.

Spring (March to May) is ideal because of the flowers and mild temperatures (18–25°C / 64–77°F). In summer, visit before 11:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. to avoid the extreme heat. Sunsets are magical, especially in autumn when the trees change color.
