    I found this plaza a bit sketchy. I was there in the middle of a cloudy day and there were not many people around, but the place looked and felt a little grimy, not taken care of with weird characters skulking about or locals simply hurrying through. There were very few restaurants visible and even less were open. Not a very photogenic plaza either despite the dramatic columns on each end. I'm not sure that I'd come back here

    If you're looking for an area with food and drink all within 200m wherebits not overpriced then this is the place to go. You can find rock, jazz, house and 80's music around here plus a few nightclubs! Food wise, you can find Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Burger joints, Mexican & Infusion food restaurants. Before Covid-19 hit, there would be occasionally put on a mini music concert or sometimes some market stalls. You can still find live music in some of the bars.

    Fabulous. Lined with bars and restaurants. I was there in August '21 and there were very few tourists, it was full of Spanish, which made it all the better. It takes a few nights to investigate the surrounding area and it's well worth it. Restaurants and bars to suit every taste and budget all with a great vibe.

  • 5/5 Ignacio S. 1 year ago on Google
    you can have any kind of food or drink from sweets to any kind of beverage, good local food, Italian, Mexican, good coffeeshops and even live-shows spots. You can take a walk also, close to everything Sevilla DT

  • 4/5 Peter 10 months ago on Google
    Info for tourists: The pillars bookend a nice public space. The streets on either side of this park are lined with restaurants and cafes. A really nice alternative to dining in the hustle and bustle of the touristy area around the cathedral and Alcazar. And just a 15 min walk away. There was a local fest or event the evening we were there. I'll bet this happens often.

    A long square surrounded by bars, hotels and restaurants. Water mists arise from three places when the weather is hot, much to the delight of children and pet dogs. Very busy on weekends and holidays. Some of the trees planted around the square, are very old

    Nice square a 15 min walk away from centre. Here you'll find less tourists, and a more local atmosphere with some great tapa places. Find a spot on a bench, get a cold beer and enjoy a local street musican!

    Lively Friday night with outdoor bars/cafes up and down a couple of blocks. Days have been sunny and warm, above normal, so lots of folks out to enjoy it.

  • 5/5 Tony D. 6 months ago on Google • 113 reviews
    Great spot to chill. Very reasonable food and drink. Staff friendly.

  • 4/5 Antonio V. 8 months ago on Google • 89 reviews
    The center of the people of Seville. You will find the Alameda crowded with people of every age and class, any night of the week. Great place to eat. Great place to drink. Great place to watch folks. Great place to be. One star off for just paving over the whole park. That doubtless makes things easier to maintain, but Seville's parks are at their best when they're also gardens. Nevertheless an absolute must see if you're in the city, particularly the two incredible Roman columns at the south end which give the park its name.

  • 4/5 Sarah S. 3 months ago on Google • 47 reviews New
    Great place to hang out - there are bars and restaurants in the area. Nice to have a wander through the local area also.

  • 4/5 Juan C. 2 years ago on Google
    It's not the boulevard that was 20 years ago, but it's still a nice area for a walk, with plenty of places to have a nice beer and maybe tapas. The Hercules columns are also nice to stare at.

  • 5/5 David E. 2 years ago on Google
    Stunning - a real tropical oasis in the middle of a beautiful city!

  • 3/5 Ben J. 4 months ago on Google
    The whole plaza desperately needs updating - I’m not sure why the local government hasn’t made this a priority. It’s a fantastic space and historically important but these days feels very dreary and unkempt. There are some great bars and restaurants around the perimeter though.

  • 4/5 raquel muñoz h. 2 years ago on Google
    A place full of restaurants where try some traditional food and a few where taste some fusion cuisine like (duo tapas)

  • 5/5 Glenn F. 2 years ago on Google
    Quiet in the day, comes to life after 2000 full of restaurants, bars and clubs. Loved by locals and must visit for visitors.

  • 5/5 Jef B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Michael B. 2 years ago on Google
    That's a place at night to have tapas and drinks Outsider in one of the many restaurants.

  • 5/5 Ezio A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a very big and long square where there are plenty of restaurants bars and pubs. The area is very crowded, in particular at the weekends so better to book in advance if you wanna sit there otherwise you have to queue for a table. It's the best nightlife area of the city. Definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Eileen G. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Willem K. 2 years ago on Google
    What i like about sevilla is that it is so open minded. This plaza is a good example of it. All kind of people, adults as well as kids. Playing eating, drinking, walking there dogs an amazing place just to sit eat tapas and watch people.

    Large town square with loads of restaurants bars and nightclubs. Great for nightlife.

  • 5/5 Jad H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing plaza area stretching about 200meters filled with restaurants, bars, even clubs, pubs and more! Open area space to enjoy the weather and hang out with some friends and grab a couple of drinks or even just to have a bite. This area is just filled with life with food places including burgers, pizza, mexican, spanish, japanese and much more! Majority of places have good music playing, giving the atmosphere more and more of it. Some places even have live music happening. Highly recommend going there, especially during the night as it seems nothing here sleeps till post 2AM.

  • 3/5 Jo R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice tapas, but the waiter wasn’t very friendly.

  • 5/5 Robert D. 10 months ago on Google
    OK.......the columns themselves are not awe inspiring, and they have been added to, like gilding a lily, but hey, they are still there. There are a multitude of bars and eateries. We went to an Argentinian style one. The Missus loved her G+T. The Alhambra beer was ok. The waiter was attentive........all good.

  • 3/5 Tom E. 1 year ago on Google
    In the reviews we saw there was a market, but on arriving there was nothing. However we did enjoy a nice breakfast that was very cheap on one of the little terrasses. Lots of locals which is always a good sign.

  • 5/5 Libby O. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this place, lots of bars and restaurant in the area. Also a few LGBTQ+ venues to pick from. Will definitely return. I felt very welcome.

  • 5/5 Herman L. 6 years ago on Google
    A must see if you do the tour-bus in Sevilla. Many restaurants and bars around. Be careful not stop there in Siesta Time because kitchen will be closed. Peaceful place. Do you know why it is called Path of Hercules?

  • 5/5 Bernardo B. 11 months ago on Google
    Iconic, historic, hip, full of civic life. Mandatory, frequent if possible — destination.

  • 5/5 Rich D. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my favorite place to sit and watch families and friends interact while the children play without a care in the world. It is surrounded by dozens of restaurants and bars and is always a welcoming place to be, especially at the end of the day.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth H. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent market on the 2nd Sunday of every month. An agreeable area with lots of bars and restaurants and a very large pedestrian only part to walk around.

  • 5/5 Gipsy P. 1 year ago on Google
    Focus for the bohemian population of the city, nice opportunity to find some real street flamenco player, take a drink or taste amazing food, save the afternoon you can find a lot of locals enjoying a beautiful evening there. As recommendation from a person which has try most of the restaurant near there, I would rate best quality / price; "Duotapas" . I hope you enjoy 😉

  • 5/5 ahnassep e. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Łukasz S. 3 years ago on Google
    A very nice place in the city center with many restaurants, trees and benches. However those benches are old and a bit dirty, plus during the day there were multiple people asking for money or even shouting at cars.
