Entrance to the tower is included in the price of the entrance to the cathedral. Make sure you head to the top, the views are great and it's quite an easy walk.

Well worth a visit after seeing the Cathedral. It's quite different in that there are no stairs, just ramps all the way to the top. Once there, the 360 degree views are stunning and you get a good feel for the layout of the city.

At the top of the tower, we has an excellent scenic view of the city. I definitely recommend everyone to visit this monument. In addition, it is better if you have binoculars.

I suppose the best think about the tower is that it is included in the price of the Cathedral visit and there are no steps it's all ramps to the top. Great view once you ascend.

The breathtaking and varied views of Sevilla from the top of the Giralda Tower are worth the trek up to the top. Luckily the climb is on a gradual uphill ramp. It does not feel quite as strenuous as a stair climb. My "70 something" in-laws made the climb without any trouble. Of course we all stopped from time to... More

After viewing the impressive cathedral its well worth the trek to the top of the tower,thankfully there are very few steps involved just a fairly gentle ramp and if you are generally unfit like me there are some viewing alcoves on the way up to take a breather and take in the views. Unfortunately only three sides of the viewing... More

Its well worth the ascent, especially with kids. Just pick a window and wait your turn to get to a view.

The giralda tower and cathedral where very beautiful even my teenage daughters loved walking around and taking photographs. The climb to the top of the tower was fairly easy no stairs just ramps all the way up and the view from the top was amazing. Well worth the small fee and the climb.

The Moorish tower with a Catholic roof on it is part of the visit of the cathedral of Seville. The climb only has stairs way on the top. This is the Catholic part. The reason for it now having stairs the let part is that the imam needed to climb the tower 5 times a day to start the praying.... More
