On foot
The historic center is compact and flat, and almost everything on this site is inside a twenty-minute walk of the cathedral. ⚠️ In summer that twenty minutes at two in the afternoon is a different proposition from the same walk at nine.
Bikes and the tram
Seville built a serious network of segregated bike lanes and a public hire scheme, and the city is flat enough that it works. A short tram line runs through the center and a metro line serves the outskirts.
⚠️ Fares and passes change; the operator publishes them and this site does not.
Getting here
Seville has its own airport and is on the high-speed rail line — the train from Madrid is the usual way in. Córdoba is a short hop up the same line, and Cádiz, Málaga and Granada are all reachable for a day out. For a trip that also takes in Barcelona, the companion guide Barcelona Trip Guide covers that city.
Booking the practical bits
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you book through one we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It does not affect what is recommended here, and no sight page on this site carries one.
Three things people actually need here: a driver from the airport or from Santa Justa, somewhere to leave a bag on the day of a timed Alcázar slot — large bags do not go into the cathedral either — and a data plan that works before you land.
