Transport in Sevilla

1. Getting around the city

**City bus.** TUSSAM, the municipal company, runs the city bus network, with daytime lines covering practically the whole city and night lines running when the rest of the service is closed. The circular lines C1 and C2 run through the centre and nearby districts in opposite directions, serving, among other points, Macarena, the Ronda Histórica, Puerta Osario, Santa Justa, Nervión, San Bernardo, Prado de San Sebastián, Los Remedios and Triana. The bus reaches streets and districts the metro does not reach, and it is the mode that connects the centre with Sevilla Este, Pino Montano, Polígono Norte and La Cartuja.

**Metrocentro tram.** The tram, also run by TUSSAM, crosses the centre on a single line, from Plaza Nueva, beside the Town Hall, to San Bernardo, beside the Parque de María Luisa. On the way it passes the Archivo de Indias and the Cathedral, Puerta de Jerez and the Torre del Oro. It is the most direct way to cross the old town without walking, and it connects with the metro and with Cercanías at San Bernardo.

**Tranvibús.** The TB1 bus rapid transit line joins Sevilla Este and Torreblanca with the centre. Its route reaches Plaza del Duque, after the extension brought into service in September 2026, passing through Santa Justa. The arrival of the tranvibús in the centre forced a reorganisation of several TUSSAM lines and changes to some termini, so the current route should be checked with TUSSAM before travelling.

**Metro.** Sevilla has a single metro line in service, line 1, operated by Metro de Sevilla. It runs from Ciudad Expo, in Mairena del Aljarafe, to Olivar de Quintos, in Dos Hermanas, crossing Sevilla from west to east. Within the city it stops at Blas Infante, Parque de los Príncipes, Plaza de Cuba, Puerta Jerez, Prado de San Sebastián, San Bernardo, Nervión, Gran Plaza, 1.º de Mayo, Amate, La Plata, Cocheras, Pablo de Olavide and the Montequinto stations. San Bernardo is the interchange with Cercanías. Line 3 is under construction and is not in service: it must not be counted as an available mode.

**Bicycle and taxi.** Sevilla has a network of cycle lanes and the Sevici public bicycle system, run by the City Council, with stations spread across the city. The bicycle works well for the Parque de María Luisa, the river and the flat districts, and badly for the narrow streets of the old town at busy times. Official taxis are white with a yellow stripe and run on a meter; they are taken at marked ranks or hailed in the street.

2. Getting to and from the city

**By plane.** Sevilla Airport, also called San Pablo, lies to the north-east of the city and is managed by Aena. It has no metro, tram or train station: the public link is the TUSSAM EA bus, Especial Aeropuerto, which joins the airport with Santa Justa station and with the Plaza de Armas bus station, in the centre. The other option is a taxi, available outside the terminal. To catch a long-distance train, first go to Santa Justa, on the EA bus or by taxi.

**By train.** The main station is Sevilla Santa Justa. From it run high-speed AVE trains, medium- and long-distance trains and Renfe Cercanías trains. Santa Justa is also the departure point for Madrid, Córdoba, Málaga and Barcelona, among other destinations. San Bernardo station, in the centre, serves Cercanías trains and connects with the Metrocentro tram and the metro. Specific destinations and services should be checked with Renfe before travelling.

**By intercity bus and by car.** The city's two bus stations are Plaza de Armas, west of the centre, and Prado de San Sebastián, beside the Parque de María Luisa. From them run intercity routes to the towns of the metropolitan area and the province, served in part by the green buses of the Consorcio de Transporte Metropolitano. By road, Sevilla is connected with Córdoba, Huelva, Cádiz and Málaga, among other destinations. The Guadalquivir port is commercial: there is no regular passenger ferry service to other cities, and the river boats are leisure trips, not transport.

3. Commuting in general terms

For short distances in the centre, walking is usually faster than waiting for transport: the Cathedral, the Alcázar, Santa Cruz, Plaza Nueva and Plaza de España are a short distance from each other, although the old town streets are narrow and in spring, at Semana Santa and Feria time, they are closed or crowded. To cross the city, the metro and the bus are the direct modes: the metro joins Los Remedios and Nervión with the east, and the bus covers the north, Sevilla Este and La Cartuja.

The tram serves only the centre axis, from Plaza Nueva to San Bernardo, and does not reach Santa Justa or the airport. At night, when the metro closes, TUSSAM night buses and taxis remain. At busy times, the metro avoids road traffic jams, while the bus and the taxi share them, above all on the bridges over the Guadalquivir. A car is not needed in the centre and parking there is difficult: for a short stay, the bus, the metro and walking cover almost everything.

4. What a newcomer needs to know first

This page gives general information about transport. It does not sell tickets or verify specific times, fares or services.

• **The airport has no train.** Do not look for a metro, tram or Cercanías station at the airport: take the EA bus to Santa Justa or Plaza de Armas, or a taxi.
• **Note the exact station name.** Santa Justa is the main long-distance station; San Bernardo is a Cercanías stop in the centre, with tram and metro. Plaza de Armas and Prado de San Sebastián are different bus stations, on different sides of the centre.
• **Check fares and times with the official source.** This page gives no fares or times because they change: for the city bus and the tram, TUSSAM; for the metro, Metro de Sevilla; for Cercanías and long distance, Renfe; for the airport, Aena.
• **Validate your ticket on each mode.** The bus, the tram and the metro have their own tickets and do not always share a pass: check before changing modes whether your ticket is valid for the next one.
• **Take only official taxis.** Sevilla taxis are white with a yellow stripe and run on a meter; at the airport, the rank is outside the terminal.
• **Expect changes in the centre.** The TUSSAM network changed with the arrival of the tranvibús at the Duque: if an old map or guide shows a centre terminus, check it with TUSSAM before setting out.
