Seville is located in western Andalusia, in southern Spain, about 100 kilometers from the coast. Seville Airport (SVQ) is the sixth busiest inland airport in Spain and is the main airport serving western Andalusia and the nearby provinces. From Seville airport, you can connect to flights that will take you to 42 destinations in Europe and North Africa. Below are details of how to get from the center of Seville to the Seville airport.
Buses to and from Seville airport
With a large number of flights arriving in Seville (or Seville in Spanish), there is a regular bus to and from the airport. The most central bus stop is near the Prado de San Sebastián bus station and passes through the main train station (San Justa). Note that there are two bus stations in Seville and San Sebastián is the furthest from the center (the bus station in the center is called Plaza de Armas).
Taxis to bus stations and airport
If you plan to take a taxi to the bus station to catch a bus to the airport, it makes sense to miss the bus station entirely and take a taxi directly to the airport, especially if you are traveling in a group (taxis in the center can be very delayed by traffic ; you can end up paying € 10 just to get to the bus station, while a direct taxi to the airport has a flat rate of less than € 31).
How to get from Seville to other destinations in Spain
Seville’s main train station is called San Justa and it is well connected: a train to Madrid takes only 2.5 hours. The bus from the airport stops just outside of San Justa. Traveling by bus is a bit complicated: there are two bus stations in Seville and it is unlikely that the one arriving from the airport (Prado de San Sebastián) will be the one you want (most buses leave from the Plaza de Armas) and you ‘I’ll need a taxi to get between the two of you. If you do not plan to stay in Seville but do not know which bus station you want, take a taxi from the airport and ask the taxi driver which station you need (you must have rudimentary English skills).
