Setas de Seville: Virtual Reality Experience + Guided Tour

Setas de Seville Virtual Reality Tour

Step into Seville's past with this cutting-edge walking tour that combines expert local guiding with virtual reality technology. Starting at the modern Metropol Parasol (Las Setas), you'll explore seven historic locations whilst wearing VR glasses that transport you through different eras of the city's 2,000-year history.

Your route takes you through Seville's most significant squares and monuments: Plaza del Salvador, Plaza de San Francisco, the Cathedral's Puerta del Perdón, the Giralda tower, Real Alcázar, Archivo de Indias, and Torre del Oro by the Guadalquivir river. At each stop, the VR glasses reveal how these locations appeared during Roman times, the Moorish period, the Catholic Monarchs' golden age, and the Baroque era. You'll see ancient Hispalis transform into Almohad Isbiliya, witness period-accurate architecture, and observe residents in historical dress.

The experience works perfectly for families and history enthusiasts who want to understand how Seville evolved from a Roman settlement into today's Andalusian capital. Your guide provides context and stories at each location, explaining the significance of what you're seeing through the VR headset whilst connecting it to the modern cityscape around you.
