HOW TO GET TO THE CENTER OF SEVILLE?

Seville has a large urban transport network that will allow you move around the city in a fast and easy way. Pancho recommends you: 

Bus

There are several bus lines that go to the center. In addition, you have the so-called “Tourists Cards” with a duration of 1 or 3 days. If you think about using the bus often, this card will be your best ally. Only for 5€ (1 day duration) or 10€ (3 days duration) you can take as many buses you need without limits. 

If you need more information, you can find it on http://www.tussam.es

Currently, Seville has the Line 1 of the subway that will help you move between ¨City Expo” and “Olivar de Quintos”. There are 6 subway stops near the historic center like “Plaza of Cuba” or “Puerta Jerez”. A subway ride costs 0,82 cents.

PRACTICAL TIPS

At this point, you have a little bit of information to help you plan your stay in Seville. Where to eat, what to do, what to visit... A little bit of everything! But, what else should you know about your destination? We will leave you some tips! 

Seville reaches high temperatures in spring season, which already makes it feel like summer. This means that if you visit the city during that time, it’s good to take summer clothes with you. Avoid going out at the point that the temperature is on its highest. 

The city is full of corners to discover, that's why we recommend you to do your visits with a guide. A lot of times it will also help you skip the long queues, and maybe the most important thing: you will learn a lot about the stories, history and anecdotes of Seville. Who knew a vacation could make you richer?

If you visit us during high season (from spring to the end of summer) the city will be full of tourists. Take advantage of the first hours of the day to avoid large queues at the different monuments. You will use your time way better! 

There are different points for tourist information. If you have any doubts, ask! They will be more than happy to help you make your visit as perfect as possible.
