Get to know Seville – how to get there

February 17, 2015 by Petya Raykovska • Comments Off on Get to know Seville – how to get there

Seville (Spanish: Sevilla) is the capital of Andalucia and the cultural and financial centre of southern Spain. A city of just over 750,000 inhabitants (1.6 million in the metropolitan area, making it Spain’s 4th largest city), Seville is Andalucia’s top destination, with much to offer the traveler.

sevilla-airport-terminal

Airport

Sevilla International Airport (IATA: SVQ) is located about 20 minutes drive from the city center.

Get in

  • By taxi – Taxis are always available next to the bus stop and run on a fixed fare to Seville center, €21.90 during the day and €24.41 after 10PM and on weekends/holidays. For the fixed airport fare taxi drivers turn off the meter. Much controversy has been stirred by some taxi drivers trying to overcharge tourists, so be careful to pay no more than this if you are traveling into the city (agree the price before the start of the journey). Other destinations outside Seville obviously cost more and are metered. Tips are not necessary, though €1-2 for polite, helpful service is appreciated. You might also want to be aware of the fact that speed limits seem to be considered as kind of minimum speed by most taxi drivers…
  • By bus – A bus service “Especial Aeropuerto (EA)” [2] runs about every 30 minutes from just outside the “Arrivals” hall during most of the day (though with longer gaps from 1pm – 4pm) and costs €4 (€6 for a same day return) and takes 20-30 minutes.

Alternatives:

  • Fly to Jerez airport La Parra International Airport (IATA: XRY) located 10km from Jerez de la Frontera, 95 km from Seville. Used by discount airlines such as Ryanair (from Frankfurt-Hahn, London-Stansted).

  • Fly to Madrid (IATA: MAD) is located on the northeast of Madrid, only 12 kilometers from Madrid city centre. From the airport, T4, you can take Cercanias train C-1 line to Atocha train station (30 mins) and then the AVE train (high speed) to Seville (2h30m). Seville’s train station is centrally located and with lots of buses/taxi/local trains connections, so it’ll be easy to connect from there to wherever he needs to go afterwards.

  • Fly to Málaga (IATA: AGP) is located 14,8 km from Málaga centre. There are plenty of direct trains from Malaga to Sevilla everyday. Have a look on www.renfe.es for times. The MD trains are the cheapest at E23,20 one way, Journey time about 2.30 mins.

By Train

Sevilla Santa Justa Station is on the eastern edge of Seville city centre. Completed in 1991, the station is the southern terminus of the Spanish high-speed AVE train service.

High-speed are great if time is of the essence, less than an hour from the wonderful city of Córdoba, less than three hours run from Madrid to Seville. However, slower trains remain a bargain, and there is an overnight train that runs from Barcelona to Seville in under 11 hours.

By Bus

The Spanish bus service is punctual and comfortable with most having air-con and a toilet. Believe it or not, to get to Seville from other cities in Spain it can sometimes be only minimally longer than train (but much cheaper). Check out your options first with the helpful Information desk you will find inside any terminal. The buses run regularly to/from most major cities, departing either from the Plaza de Armas bus station near the river, or the Prado de San Sebastián station near the University/Santa Cruz. Sometime queue for buying ticket from the ticket office on a busy day might take up to 20 min or more.

Public transit

Sevilla has a great public transportation system.

Buses run frequently and cover the majority of the city in their routes. You can purchase bus cards at many news stands. Trips cost 60c or 70c, and it costs €1.50 to buy a refillable bus card (which can be topped up at many newsstands).

Sevici bikes are available throughout the city with special docking stations that allow you to easily grab a bike and go wherever you need, then drop it off at another station when you arrive. Bikes cost 11,50 euro for a week pass, which allows the first half hour free and subsequent hours are a euro each. Also, year passes can be purchased for 23 euro with each half hour free and additional hours 50 euro cents.

Scooters are available for rent for €30 for the day and €120 for the week. These are a cost efficient way of getting around and a driver’s license is not necessary.

A tram system is currently being incorporated into Sevilla’s local transportation and is running from the San Bernardo Train Station to the Plaza Nueva.

Taxis are easily accessible throughout the city.

Metro

Seville’s metro opened on 2 April 2009. It follows a 18km reverse U from the south-west to the south-east through the southern end of the city centre where it stops at Plaza de Cuba, Prado de San Sebastian and San Bernardo. Tickets are €1.30 for a single zone or €4.50 for all 3 zones unlimited trips, and the metro runs from 6.30AM-11PM on weekdays, and late departures are available on Fridays and Saturdays until 2 o’clock.

Drive in / Parking

Driving is also always an option for long distance travel in Spain, but isn’t as convenient or as useful once in town.

Conozca Sevilla – cómo llegar

Sevilla es la capital de Andalucía, centro cultural y financiero del sur de España. Una ciudad de unos 700.000 habitantes (1.6 millones en el área metropolitana, siendo la 4ª ciudad más grande de España). Sevilla es uno de los destinos más visitados de España, con mucho que ofrecer a los viajeros.

Aeropuerto

Aeropuerto Internacional de Sevilla (IATA: SVQ) Está situado a unos 20 minutos en coche del centro de la ciudad.


Other alternatives:

– Una alternativa es volar al aeropuerto de Jerez: Aeropuerto Internacional La Parra (IATA: XRY) situado a 10km de Jerez de la Frontera, a 95 kms de Sevilla. El cual es usado por aerolíneas de bajo coste como Ryanair (desde Frankfurt-Hahn, London-Stansted).

– El aeropuerto de Madrid (IATA: MAD) se encuentra al noreste de Madrid, a sólo 12 kilómetros del centro de la ciudad. Desde el aeropuerto, T4, tú puedes coger el cercanías C-1 para ir a la estación de tren de Atocha (30 minutos) y allí puedes coger el AVE a Sevilla (2h30m). La estación de tren de Sevilla Santa Justa etá muy centríca y hay taxis, autobuses y otras conexiones de tren, por lo que te será fácil conectar desde allí a donde quieras que ir después.

– El aeropuerto de Málaga (IATA: AGP) se encuentra a 14,8kms del centro de la ciudad. Hay un montón de trenes directos desdeMñalaga a Sevilla cada día. Eche un vistazo en www.renfe.es. Los trenes MD son los más baratos 23,20€ y el recorrido es de aproximadamente 2,30 minutos.

Para llegar a la ciudad

  • En taxi – Los taxis siempre están disponibles al lado de la parada del autobús y tienen una tarifa plana para llevarte al centro de Sevilla: 21’90€ durante el día y 24’41€ a partir de las 22:00 y durante fines de semana/vacaciones. Debido a esta tarifa plana, los taxistas apagan el taxímetro. Ha habido casos en los que se ha intentado cobrar de más a turistas, así que presta atención en no pagar más si estás viajando al centro (confirma el precio antes de empezar la carrera). Otros destinos fuera de Sevilla obviamente cuestan más y se usa el taxímetro. Las propinas no son necesarias, aunque 1-2€ de cortesía por un buen servicio son apreciados. También deberías estar prevenido de que los límites de velocidad parecen ser considerados a veces como el mínimo de velocidad por los taxistas…
  • En autobús – La línea de autobús “Especial Aeropuerto (EA)” [2] sale cada 30 minutos desde la misma salida de “LLegadas” durante casi todo el día (aunque con menos frecuencia entre las 01:00 y las 04:00 de la madrugada) y cuesta 4€ (6€ por ida y vuelta el mismo día) y tarda unos 20-30 minutos.

En tren

La estación de Sevilla Santa Justa es en el extremo este del centro de la ciudad. Terminada en 1991, la estación es la terminal sur del servicio de tren de alta velocidad AVE español.
La alta velocidad permite ahorrar tiempo, a menos de una hora de la maravillosa ciudad de Córdoba, a menos de tres horas Madrid. Sin embargo, los trenes más lentos siguen siendo una ganga, y hay un tren nocturno que va desde de Barcelona a Sevilla en menos de 11 horas.

En autobús

El servicio de autobuses español es puntual y cómodo, la mayoría tiene aire acondicionado y un aseo. Lo creas o no, para llegar a Sevilla desde otras ciudades española a veces es más tiempo que en tren (pero mucho más barato). Echa un vistazo a las opciones de primera con el útil mostrador de información se encuentra en el interior de cualquier terminal. Los autobuses salen regularmente a / de las ciudades más importantes, partiendo ya sea de la estación de autobuses Plaza de Armas cerca del río, o la estación del Prado de San Sebastián cerca de la Universidad / Santa Cruz. Hacer cola para comprar entradas en la taquilla en un día ajetreado podrías tardar 20 minutos o más.

Las bicicletas cuestan 11,50 euros a la semana, las primeras medias horas son gratis y posteriores son un euro cada una. También, hay pases anuales que se pueden comprar por € 23 con cada media hora gratis y adicionales horas 50 céntimos de euro.

Scooters están disponibles para alquilar por € 30 para el día y 120 € para la semana. Estos son una manera rentable de moverte y una licencia de conducir no es necesario.

El tranvía se ha incorporando al transporte local de Sevilla y está funcionando desde la estación de tren de San Bernardo a la Plaza Nueva.

Los taxis son de fácil acceso en toda la ciudad.

Metro

El metro de Sevilla abrió el 2 de abril de 2009. Va desde el suroeste hacia el sur-este a través del extremo sur del centro de la ciudad donde se detiene en la Plaza de Cuba, Prado de San Sebastián y San Bernardo. Los viajes cuestan € 1,30 para una sola zona o € 4.50 para los 3 zonas viajes ilimitados, y el metro está abierto desde 6.30 a 11 PM de lunes a viernes, y las salidas finales están disponibles los viernes y sábados hasta las 2:00.

Conducir en / Parking

Conducir es también una opción para los viajes de larga distancia en España, pero no es tan conveniente una vez en la ciudad.

Manteniendo la idea original, WordCamp Europa se organiza en una ciudad europea diferente cada año. Se inició en el Norte en Leiden (2013), se trasladó hacia el Este a Sofía (2014) y en 2015 vamos al Sur a la hermosa Sevilla donde seremos acogidos por la gran comunidad española WordPress. ¡Esperamos que estés tan emocionado como nosotros!

Próximos anuncios

En los próximos días vamos a anunciar la convocatoria para ponentes y patrocinadores. Podrás conseguir las entradas para WordCamp Europa 2015 a comienzos de febrero. Si desea ser voluntario, la convocatoria saldrá a final de este mes. Y como siempre, nos encantaría tenerte en el equipo.

Idioma

WordCamp Europa 2015 será un evento increíble para los visitantes y la comunidad local. Todas las conferencias serán en inglés, pero se facilitará traducción simultánea en español. Y algunos de los contenidos de la página también se traducirán gracias a nuestro fabuloso equipo organizador local Sevilla.
