Getting Around in Seville

Arriving in Seville

By Air: Seville Airport (SVQ) is 10km from the city center. The EA Airport Bus runs every 15-30 minutes to the city center (€6 single; €8 return valid on the day of purchase and the next day; about 35 minutes). Taxis cost €22-25 to the center (€27-30 at night/weekends). Uber and Cabify are available. Major airlines connect Seville to European cities, with Ryanair and Vueling offering budget options.

By Train: Santa Justa Station connects to Madrid (2.5 hours), Córdoba (45 minutes), Barcelona (5.5 hours), and other cities via high-speed AVE trains. Book in advance at renfe.com for discounts. The station is 1.5km northeast of the center, accessible by bus C1, C2 or taxi.

By Bus: The Plaza de Armas and Prado de San Sebastián bus stations serve regional and national routes. ALSA is the main operator for long-distance buses, often cheaper but slower than trains.

Getting Around Seville

Walking: The historic center is compact and pedestrian-friendly. Most major attractions are within 20-30 minutes' walk. Comfortable shoes are essential for cobblestone streets.

Metro: The single metro line connects suburbs to the center but has limited usefulness for tourists. It is handy for San Bernardo station but does not serve the airport.

Bus: Tussam operates comprehensive bus network. Single tickets (€1.40) are sold on board; a one-day tourist card costs €5 plus a €1.50 refundable deposit, and multi-trip cards are sold at kiosks and Tussam points. Useful routes include C5 (circular route around center) and buses to Parque María Luisa. Buy tickets onboard or at tobacco shops.

Tram: A single tram line (T1) runs from Plaza Nueva via San Bernardo to Nervión, useful for certain journeys but limited scope.

Bicycle: Seville is Spain's most bike-friendly city with 180km of bike lanes. Sevici is the public bike-share system (with one-day, weekly and annual subscriptions). Private rental shops offer hourly/daily rentals (€10-15/day). Cycling is ideal for reaching parks and exploring neighborhoods.

Taxi & Rideshare: Taxis are metered and reasonably priced. Uber and Cabify operate throughout the city. Useful for late nights or when tired from heat.

Horse Carriages: Traditional coches de caballos offer romantic tours (€45-50 for 45 minutes). Find them at Plaza del Triunfo, Plaza de España, and other major squares. Negotiate price before boarding.
