How to celebrate New Year's Eve in Seville 2023? Here you will find all the information you need to celebrate the arrival of the New Year in the Andalusian capital

We are already in the middle of December, and we are starting to plan our New Year's Eve. In Seville, the usual thing is to have dinner with the family and then go out to celebrate in its beautiful streets. Seville has a “special colour”. 

What New Year's Eve in Seville is like

During the Christmas holidays, Seville becomes even more special than usual. The Christmas markets, the lights that decorate the city, the smell of chestnuts and the carols, create a magical atmosphere of illusion.

New Year's Eve is a great collective celebration, there are many good reasons why Seville is a special destination for Christmas and New Year's Eve. Here are just a few of them.

Christmas lights in Seville

As we mentioned earlier, Seville is decked out to welcome Christmas and the New Year.

The centre of the capital is full of lights, from the Avenida Constitución to the Campana.

In the Plaza de San Francisco, as has become customary, you can see a spectacle of lights and music. The show is known as Templo de la Luz (Temple of Light) and lasts 10 minutes. It is held every half hour from 18:30 to 23:00, until 6 January 2023.

And, there is no Christmas without its fir trees, scattered in different parts of the city, such as Puerta Jerez, Plaza Cuba, Plaza de San Francisco, Santa Justa Station and Emilio Lemos (in Sevilla Este).

Christmas markets

Another reason why Seville is an ideal place to spend the Christmas holidays is because of its markets. Some of them are:

Christmas Market: From the 15th of December to the 5th of January in the heart of the city, in Plaza Nueva.

La Feria del Belén: The Feria del Belén is open from 5 November to 23 December in the city centre, next to the Cathedral and the Archivo de Indias.

The Zoco del Parque María Luisa: Although this event is held monthly, between 17 and 18 December, the Zoco del Parque de María Luisa will host its Christmas edition, which includes a visit from elves and Christmas activities for children, such as writing letters to the Three Wise Men.

The route through the nativity scenes of Seville

Another Sevillian tradition is the visit to the nativity scenes. Here is a list of the most famous ones:

• Belén del Arquillo: This is one of the classics, at street level, on the side of the Seville Town Hall.
• In the Museum of Fine Arts, Nativity Scene of the College of Pharmacists. From 9 December 2022 to 12 January 2023.
