Step by step
EA airport bus
- Walk out of arrivals. The bus stop is right outside the terminal.
- Pay the driver with a contactless bank card or cash (small notes).
- Main stops: Santa Justa train station, San Bernardo, Prado de San Sebastián (for Santa Cruz and the university), Puerta de Jerez area, and the Plaza de Armas bus station (for the Centro and Triana).
- We’d get off at the stop closest to your hotel and walk.
Buses leave the airport from about 5:20 to 1:00, every 12–13 minutes for most of the day, about every 20 minutes early in the morning and every 30 minutes late at night, on the same timetable at weekends. The same bus takes you back to the airport from any of these stops.
Taxi
The taxi rank is directly outside arrivals. Taxis from the airport to the historic centre charge a fixed fare set by the city, which is per car, not per person. The fare is higher at night, at weekends, on public holidays and during Semana Santa and the Feria. We’d ask the driver to confirm the fixed fare before you set off. Cards are usually accepted.
Uber, Cabify and Bolt
Ride-hailing apps work at Seville airport; the app shows you where to meet the driver. Prices can be lower than a taxi at quiet times and higher at busy times.
Private transfer
A driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign and takes you to your hotel’s door, which we think is worth it if your hotel is on a pedestrian lane in Santa Cruz. It costs more than a taxi but the price is fixed when you book. Book a private transfer.
Arriving at your hotel
Much of the historic centre is pedestrian or closed to traffic, especially Santa Cruz. Taxis stop as close as they can, which may be a 2–5 minute walk from the door. We suggest sending your hotel address to the driver on your phone, and checking with the hotel where cars can drop you.
Mobile data on arrival: phones on an EU plan roam at no extra cost in Spain. If your plan is from outside the EU, we’d set up an eSIM for Spain before you fly, so maps and taxi apps work as soon as you land.
