From the airport to the city centre Sevilla
There are two options for getting to Seville from San Pablo airport:
EAbus service to San Sebastián Prado Station, every 30 min, from 5.20 a.m. to 1.15 a.m., average duration 30 min. (€5). One stop at Santa Justa station, connections on arrival with tramway and San Sebastián bus station.
Cabs: from €25 to €30 to the city center (approx. 10 km).
Arrival by train Sevilla
By train, direct AVE connections to Cordoba, Madrid, Zaragoza and Barcelona, and to Cadiz. These trains run quite well and are quite comfortable. Trains de media distancia to all Andalusian provincial capitals. Cercanías trains for the province of Seville (www.renfe.es). Bus line 32 to the city center from Estación de Santa Justa station.
Arrival by boat Sevilla
Seville has access to the sea via the Guadalquivir, Spain's only navigable river. Hence the arrival of numerous cruise ships. From the Atlantic, entry is via Sanlúcar de Barrameda and then up through the Donana National Park and rice fields, ending at the Muelle de las Delicias. Information: https://www.puertodesevilla.com
Public transport Sevilla
Coming by bus. Two bus stations in Seville. For the most part, the Plaza de Armas station serves the west (province of Huelva, Portugal) and Cordoba, Malaga, Granada, Jaén as well as Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia (Alsa companies www.alsa.com and Damas www.damas-sa-es). For the province of Cadiz, Grupo Valenzuela (www.grupovalenzuela.com). The Prado de San Sebastián airport serves the provinces of Seville and Cadiz (https://samar.es) and Grupo Valenzuela. To get around Andalusia, it's sometimes more direct than the train and always cheaper.
In Seville. The Tussam company (www.tussam.es) operates some 40 lines, and you can obtain maps of them, including the tramway (T1), at its ticket offices in Plaza Encarnación, Plaza Nueva, Prado de Sebastián and elsewhere (fare: €1.40 one-way ticket or tarjeta multiviaje (refillable, purchase: €1.50, minimum refill: €7) fares: €0.35 without change, €0.38 with change within the hour.
As the heart of the city center is pedestrianized, you may be more interested in the C1, C2, C3, C4 circulars. Since 2007, the tramway has been running in the city center, from Plaza Nueva to San Bernardo. On the metro side (line T1), there are three interesting stops: Prado de San Sebastián, close to one of the bus stations; Puerta Jerez, close to the Alcázar and the cathedral; and Plaza de Cuba, leading to Triana. Buses run from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., streetcars from 6.30 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and the eve of public holidays, and from 7.30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays and public holidays. In addition, 8 circular lines operate at night (until 2 a.m. on weekdays and 5 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, departing from Prado de San Sebastián).
Bike, scooters & co Sevilla
The city offers 180 km of carrer bici, cycle routes identified by raised circles on the ground. Sevici (www.sevici.es), the equivalent of Vélib', provides 2,500 bicycles at 260 points (free for the first half-hour, then €1.03 for the next hour and €2.04 for the second hour). Numerous bike rental points, costing around €8 for 2 hours, €15 for an electric bike. Since February 2022, as a pilot project, the city has set up a rental service for electric bicycles (2,000 spread over 3 parking points), managed by the companies Lime and Ridemovi (app to be downloaded from cell phone).
Since June 2021, the city has been introducing a rental system for electric scooters (2,000), managed by Voi(http://www.voiscooters.com), with the prospect of 200 points in Seville. Electric scooters are banned from sidewalks and their speed is limited to 25 km. They can also be hired from the Bike Center (http://sevillabikecenter.es) and returned to the same location.
With a driver Sevilla
In Seville, cabs are white, with a yellow stripe on the doors. And a little green light on the roof when they're free(libre) and red when they're not(ocupado). Up to 4 people can get into a cab at no extra charge. They're easy to find at Plaza Nueva (near the town hall), Plaza del Duque (near the Corte inglés) and Plaza de España. They can also be booked by telephone: www.radiotaxidesevilla.es or https://teletaxisevilla.es. You can expect to pay between €5 and €8 for a short ride in the city center. On the VTC side, Uber and Cabify operate in the city.
By car Sevilla
Seville has a lot of traffic and the historic downtown area is almost pedestrianized. It is therefore preferable to leave your car in the parking lot, without leaving anything in the trunk. There are many parking lots in the city center, but they are quite expensive. Count for it at least 15 € per day. There is no entrance tax in the city.
Accessibility Sevilla
Public transport, most often buses, are equipped to receive disabled people and allow their mobility, as are some cabs, which indicate this. The conditions are the same for strollers. On the other hand, like everyone else, you will have to be careful on some of the main roads in Seville (Avenida de la Constitución, in particular) where streetcars, bicycles and pedestrians cross paths, sometimes in a way that is not always easy to read. Finally, to help you find your way around the map that is usually distributed to you, remember to put it back the right way round, with the Guadalquivir River to the west (and not to the south as shown on the map, on the grounds that it is prettier that way).
Tourist traps Sevilla
As for cabs, the routes you take can be expensive, as many streets have only one entrance and are often worth the detours. Try to find out on a map whether it's easier to get there on foot.
