Tips for Seville

Transport, opening hours, food and what to avoid.

  1. Getting there

    From the airport: EA bus

    The EA bus links the airport with Plaza de Armas in about 35 minutes, stopping at Santa Justa and Prado de San Sebastián. Taxis charge a fixed fare to the centre.

  2. Getting around

    The whole centre on foot

    The Cathedral, the Alcázar, Santa Cruz, Triana and Plaza de España are all within walking distance. The tram only covers a short stretch starting at Plaza Nueva.

  3. Opening hours

    The heat rules

    From June to September afternoons pass 40 °C. Sightsee in the morning, rest from 3 to 6 pm and head out again at sunset, like the locals.

  4. Opening hours

    The siesta is real

    Many small shops close at midday and reopen in the afternoon. Big stores and the Cathedral area stay open.

  5. Opening hours

    Holy Week and the Feria

    During those weeks the city changes: streets closed for processions, very expensive hotels and bookings essential. Check the dates before you plan.

  6. Watch out

    The rosemary women

    Near the Cathedral and the Alcázar someone will hand you a sprig “for luck” and then ask for money or read your palm. Don't take it and keep walking.

  7. Eating

    Order at the bar

    In many tapas bars the tables are for full portions. To try a bit of everything, stand at the bar and order one tapa at a time.
