Last checked: 14 November 2026 against the official Real Alcázar de Sevilla website (Prepara la visita and the public price ordinance) and the official ticket shop and its FAQ. Prices are in euros. This is a planning summary, not a personal visit report.
Royal Alcázar ticket prices 2026 (EUR)
| Ticket | Price | Who / what it covers (official) |
|---|---|---|
| General ticket (Entrada General) | €15.50 | Ground floor of the palaces and the gardens. The official page says it also gives entry to the Antiquarium, the Triana Ceramics Museum (Centro Cerámica Triana), the Bellver Museum (Casa Fabiola) and other city-run museum spaces (ICAS). |
| Reduced ticket | €8 | Citizens over 65; students aged 14 to 30 (inclusive); European Youth Card (Carnet Joven) holders aged 14 to 30. Show proof at the entrance. |
| Upper Royal Rooms (Cuarto Real Alto) | €5.50 | An organised partial visit to the upper floor of King Pedro’s palace (Palacio del Rey D. Pedro). Sold as “Royal Alcázar + Upper Royal Rooms”, with its own entry time. |
| Free ticket (no charge, ticket still needed) | €0 | People born in or living in Seville city; children up to 13 with an adult; people with a disability of more than 33% and one companion; unemployed people from Seville province; accredited ICOMOS members. |
| Free Monday ticket | €0 | Listed in the official shop as “Free Monday – Visit to the Royal Alcázar”. Limited numbers, sold in the online shop; does not include the Upper Royal Rooms. See below. |
One small difference in the official texts: the “Prepara la visita” page gives the student and youth-card band as 14 to 30, while the ordinance text on the rules page says 13 to 30. Children up to 13 are free anyway, so this rarely matters. The reduced rate used to be for EU citizens only; the official page now says it applies to everyone, and the shop FAQ confirms that non-EU students qualify with valid official documents.
Optional INR guide (not official prices)
| Ticket | Price (EUR) | About ₹ (guide) |

Is the Royal Alcázar free on Mondays?
There is a free option on Mondays, but it is limited. The official ticket shop lists a separate “Free Monday – Visit to the Royal Alcázar” ticket. When we checked on 14 November 2026 it showed as sold out. Its conditions say you still need a ticket, it is in your name (bring your ID card or passport), it does not include the Upper Royal Rooms, and you may enter through the Lion Gate from 15 minutes before to 30 minutes after the time on the ticket.
What we could not confirm: the official pages do not print the free hour. Travel guides say it is the last opening hour on Mondays (4 pm to 5 pm from October to March, 6 pm to 7 pm from April to September). Treat that as unconfirmed and check the time slots in the official shop. The ordinance only says free public visits happen on the days and hours set by the Patronato’s Executive Commission.

How to buy Royal Alcázar tickets
- Online: the shop’s FAQ says tickets are sold only through the official website alcazardesevilla.infoticketing.com, and on busy dates they can sell out in advance. There are no waiting lists or early ticket releases.
- Timed entry: entry is by 30-minute time slot with limited capacity, and you must keep to the time on your ticket.
- Ticket office: opens at 9 am in the Patio de Banderas and sells only same-day tickets, by card. Each person must queue and show an ID card or passport; one person cannot buy for others. When online tickets are sold out, the office keeps a very small quota for each 30-minute slot (for the Royal Alcázar visit only, not the Upper Royal Rooms). On busy days the FAQ suggests arriving at least an hour before it opens.
- Names and ID: all tickets are in your name. Show your ID card or passport with the ticket at the access control at the Lion Gate (Puerta del León). Reduced and free tickets need proof there too; Seville residents can use an ID card, passport or a residence certificate issued within the last 3 months.
- Upper Royal Rooms: your ticket time is the time for the upper rooms. Enter the monument up to 60 minutes earlier through the Lion Gate and be at the door of the rooms 15 minutes before your slot, or you lose the visit.
- No changes or refunds once paid, even for mistakes or illness (shop FAQ).
- Food and drinks are not allowed (water and baby food are fine), and pets are not allowed except guide or assistance dogs with documents.
Other visits and events
- The official price ordinance lists the summer concert series Noches en los Jardines at €7 and the night theatre visits (Visitas Nocturnas Teatralizadas) at €15. Both are seasonal; in 2026 the concerts ran from 25 June to 19 September.
- The official shop also lists a visit to the rooftops of the Gothic Palace and the Upper Grutesco Gallery and a visit to the Archaeological Crypt (on 14 November 2026 the rooftops visit could be booked and the crypt visit showed as sold out). We did not confirm their prices.
- In November 2026 the Real Alcázar is running the “El Piano del Almirante” concert series on Thursdays at 8 pm in the Admiral’s Hall (official news, 4 November 2026).
- The Real Alcázar shops are temporarily closed while a new company takes over their management (official notice, 19 October 2026).
Tips before you go
- Book early for spring, holidays and weekends; the shop FAQ warns that dates sell out and online is the only advance channel.
- If you want the Upper Royal Rooms, book the combined ticket; the office quota for sold-out days covers only the general visit, not the upper rooms.
- Carry the same ID you used to book. Students and over-65s should also carry proof for the €8 rate.
- In winter, plan to start by early afternoon: the official hours end at 5 pm and clearing of the site starts at 5:45 pm.
