Fountains, monuments to writers and artists, lush vegetation, and ponds with ducks and peacocks create the perfect slow experience\u2014ideal for walking or cycling under century-old trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Murillo Gardens: shade and history next to Santa Cruz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.es\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/Sevilla-verde-Jardines-Murillo-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Murillo Gardens Seville\" class=\"wp-image-9483\"\/><figcaption>Photo via Canva Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Located next to the <strong>Santa Cruz quarter<\/strong>, these historic gardens were once part of the Alc\u00e1zar\u2019s orchard. They were opened to the public in the early 20th century and named after the Sevillian painter Bartolom\u00e9 Esteban Murillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With their palm trees, <strong>geometric hedges<\/strong>, fountains, and <strong>colorful ceramic benches<\/strong>, these gardens are the perfect place to rest while exploring the old town. Their central location makes them a must-see on any cultural or eco-friendly itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Royal Alc\u00e1zar Gardens: a UNESCO jewel among Seville\u2019s gardens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.es\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/Sevilla-verde-Jardines-Alcazar-Sevilla-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Royal Alcazar Gardens Seville\" class=\"wp-image-9484\"\/><figcaption>Photo via Canva Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you\u2019ll need a <a href=\"https:\/\/realalcazarsevilla.cliqueo.es\/es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ticket to enter<\/a> the <strong>Alc\u00e1zar<\/strong> complex, these gardens are absolutely worth it. A <strong>UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>, they showcase centuries of gardening techniques, water management, and a harmonious blend of nature and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Renaissance-style gardens and labyrinths to <strong>orange trees<\/strong> and <strong>reflecting pools<\/strong>, the experience is both a journey through time and a lesson in sustainable landscaping rooted in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Cristina Gardens: charming riverside park in Seville<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.es\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/Sevilla-verde-Jardines-de-Cristina-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Cristina Gardens Seville\" class=\"wp-image-9485\"\/><figcaption>Photo via Canva Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Located between the city center and the <strong>Guadalquivir River<\/strong>, Cristina Gardens are <strong>lesser-known<\/strong> but full of charm. Inaugurated in 1830, they are among the oldest public gardens in Seville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With varied vegetation and wrought-iron benches, they\u2019re a lovely stop after visiting nearby sites like the <strong>Gold Tower<\/strong> or the <strong>Delicias Promenade<\/strong>. They\u2019re also part of the green corridor connecting the river to the urban center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Buhaira Gardens: Andalusian legacy in the eastern district<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.es\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/Sevilla-verde-Jardines-de-la-Buhaira-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Buhaira Gardens Seville\" class=\"wp-image-9486\"\/><figcaption>Photo via Canva Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Located just east of the old town, the <strong>Buhaira Gardens<\/strong> are an often-overlooked green oasis. Built on the site of a former <strong>Almohad palace<\/strong>, they preserve Islamic-style architecture and water channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This peaceful area is perfect for a picnic or a relaxing walk among <strong>palm trees<\/strong>, flowers, and fountains. There\u2019s also a small open-air stage where cultural events are sometimes held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seville<\/strong> is not just about history, tapas, and flamenco. It\u2019s also a city where you can enjoy meaningful contact with nature right in the urban core. Exploring its <strong>parks<\/strong> and <strong>gardens<\/strong> offers a slower, more responsible way to experience the city\u2014at your own pace and in harmony with its natural and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you?
