From the airport to the center of Seville
Seville Airport is located 9 kilometers east of Seville. To go from the airport to the centre of Seville you have these options:
-
Shuttle Bus EA: The Aeropuerto Especial is a shuttle between the airport and the centre. In this bus from Tussam, you can buy a single ticket for € 4 (return € 6) and the journey from the airport takes 30 minutes. Buses leave for the arrival hall of the terminal. The stops are: Avenida Kansas City, Luis de Morales, San Bernardo, Prado Bus Station of San Sebastián, Paseo de Colón (near Torre del Oro), and the bus terminal Plaza de Armas (Departure times and more information)).
-
Taxi: The taxi will take you from Seville airport to the city centre in 15 to 20 minutes for a fixed price (about € 30). Tip: If you book the abovementioned Seville Travel Card, a airport transfer is already included.
-
Private airport transfer: If you want to book a reliable taxi without stress, you can book it before your trip. The taxi driver will then pick you up from the airport. I’ve had good experiences with Welcome Pickups, where a taxi driver will meet you at Seville airport with a name sign. With this you are sure of an available taxi and the price will hardly differ from a normal taxi. Simply check your fare at Welcome Pickups.
-
With a rental car: Are you going to make a tour through Andalusia? There is a good chance that you will start your trip in Seville or Málaga. We have very positive experiences with car rental at the airport through Easyterra. If you have a rental car, you should make sure that you book a hotel on the outskirts of the city with parking. In large parts of the old center you prefer not to drive a car. Good hotels with parking are for example Hospes Las Casas Del Rey De Baeza and Eurostars Guadalquivir. You can search for your rental car using the search engine below:
