Seville Tourism
Seville does have an airport with domestic and international arrivals,
however, the outstanding AVE high speed train service provides the gateway for
most arrivals to the Andalucian capital. Thanks to this service Madrid's Atocha
Station is just 2 hours 30 minutes from Seville's Santa Justa Station. Bookings
can be made online in English on the
RENFE website.
From Santa Justa it's best to take a taxi to your final destination. If you're
on a budget take a look at the ALTARIA train before booking the AVE. This
service takes a little longer but can prove a fair bit cheaper. There are also
efficient train services to Granada, Malaga, and many other destinations in
Andalucia. Some of these departures are from the San Bernardo railway station
which is closer to the tourist area of Barrio Santa Cruz.
Long distance bus services also serve Seville and are a cheaper option than the
train though slower and less convenient. Services from Madrid arrive at the
Plaza de Armas bus station whilst the Prado de San Sebastian terminal caters for
most destinations within Andalucia. Timetables and fares appear online at

Seville Card
A useful recommendation for visitors to Seville is the
Seville Card which provides discounts on entrance fees to the city's main
tourist attractions and discounts on shopping, restaurants and entrance to
flamenco shows. You'll also get reduced rates on the hop on hop off tourist bus
service and cheaper Guadalquivir river cruises.
