To visit the Giralda belltower, you’ll first need to purchase tickets to the Cathedral of Seville. A standard adult ticket costs €13, and that includes access to the Church of El Salvador. An audio guide will run you an additional €5. Children 13 and younger enter the cathedral for free.

Yes, like all Catholic churches within Europe, both the Cathedral of Seville and its famous belltower have a dress code. Modest clothing is required, which means knees and shoulders should be covered up. Have a light jacket or wrap on hand. Otherwise, you can borrow shoulder covers from the cathedral for a modest fee.

Count on at least 75 minutes for visiting both the cathedral and the belltower. The cathedral itself is large and shouldn’t be rushed. Visitors typically spend around 15 minutes admiring the panoramic view from the top of the belltower (don’t forget your camera or smartphone).

Yes, you need to make timed reservations online to visit the Giralda—access is limited to control the number of visitors in the belltower at once. You can also buy tickets at the door once you arrive, but slots often sell out.

No, unfortunately, the Giralda is not accessible to visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Getting to the top mostly involves walking up a series of ramps, which sounds wheelchair-friendly, but a small staircase leads to the final ascent. Apart from the belltower, the cathedral has an accessible route, so it’s still worth visiting.
