Seville is in the west of Andalusia in southern Spain, about 100 kilometers from the coast. Seville Airport (SVQ) ranks as the sixth busiest inland airport in Spain and serves as the main airport for western Andalusia and nearby provinces. From Seville Airport, travelers can connect to flights heading to 42 destinations across Europe and Northern Africa. Below are details on how to get from Seville city center to Seville’s airport.

Buses to and From Seville Airport

With an increasing number of flights arriving in Seville (known as Sevilla in Spanish), there is a regular bus service operating to and from the airport. The central bus stop is located near the Prado de San Sebastian bus station, which conveniently passes by the main train station (San Justa). It is important to note that Seville boasts two bus stations, with San Sebastian being the one furthest from downtown; hence, the bus station located in the center is called Plaza de Armas.

Taxis to the Bus Stations and Airport

If you plan to take a taxi to the bus station in order to catch a bus to the airport, it may be more efficient to skip the bus station entirely and take a taxi directly to the airport, especially for group travelers. Taxis in central Seville can experience significant delays due to traffic, potentially costing around 10 € just to reach the bus station. Conversely, a taxi straight to the airport offers a flat fee of under 31 €.

How to Get from Seville to Other Destinations in Spain

Seville’s main train station is San Justa, well-connected to various destinations—such as Madrid, which is only 2.5 hours away by train. The bus from the airport conveniently stops outside San Justa. However, traveling by bus can be a bit more complex—there are two bus stations in Seville, and the one you arrive at from the airport (Prado de San Sebastian) may not be where you want to go (most buses depart from Plaza de Armas). If you’re uncertain about which bus station to head to, consider taking a taxi from the airport and consult your driver; they typically possess basic English language skills.

Things to Do in Seville

Seville stands as one of the two grandest cities in Andalusia, alongside Granada. Key attractions include its Gothic Cathedral, where Christopher Columbus is interred, Giralda Tower, and the Alcázar palace complex—each favored by tourists.

Alongside San Sebastian, Seville is widely recognized as a premier destination for tapas bars in Spain. An estimated 4,000 bars populate the streets of this Andalusian capital, ensuring ample choices for both locals and visitors alike.

A particularly popular time to visit Seville is during Semana Santa (Holy Week), leading up to Easter. The intricate celebrations and processions attract visitors from all around the globe. Daily from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, large, life-sized sculptures depicting biblical scenes of the Passion of Christ are transported from smaller churches to the cathedral by solemn parishioners.
