Seville Transport

Getting around Seville is a fairly stress-free affair and visitors should find the city’s transport infrastructure easy to negotiate. Buses are perhaps the best option for getting around in terms of cost and destinations covered, while for comfort and convenience, taxis provide a better option. If you’re only in town for a short time and want to see as much as possible during your stay, then the hop-on, hop-off tourist buses are by far your best option.

By train

The train station in Seville is not designed to provide cross-city connections and visitors will find services to destinations beyond Seville only.

By bus

Public bus services in Seville are provided by the TUSSAM bus company and a total of 10 different routes operate on a daily basis. For visitors, the most useful services are the C1, C2, C3 and C4 circular lines which provide connections between city centre locations. Services commence at 06:00 and conclude at 23:45 in the winter and at 00:00 during the summer season. Buses in Seville are easily recognised by their bright orange colour and are generally single-decker vehicles only.

Taxis

Visitors requiring taxis will find hailing them in the street a fairly easy and reliable option unless the city has a festival on, in which case it may prove a little more difficult. Taxi drivers on the whole are not the best English speakers in the country, so arming yourself with a map or a phrasebook is a wise course of action. If you are staying at a reputable hotel, chances are that they will have a deal with a local taxi company, so an English speaking hotel representative can explain the whereabouts of your desired destination to the driver on your behalf. Some local firms in Seville include Tele-Taxi (tel: +34 954 622 222), Radio-Taxi (tel: +34 954 580 000) and Radio-Taxi Giralda (tel: +34 954 675 555).

Tourist services

Bus services travelling between the most popular sights in central Seville are available to tourists. Sightseers can get on and off the buses at whim in order to spend time exploring key areas. Purchase a ticket at the beginning of the day and ride as many times as you like for the duration of that day.

From the airport

Passengers arriving at the airport requiring ground transportation can choose between buses and taxis, with the former providing services to Puerta de Jerez. Car hire companies are also on hand, although you can also book a vehicle on line and save yourself hassle at the airport.
