How to get there
Seville is a destination open to the world, perfectly communicated with the main cities of Europe. You can get to Seville the way you like: by air, by road, by train… and even by sea. Choose your preferred means of transport, we are waiting for you!
By airplane
If you decide to fly to Seville, you will land at Seville Airport, also called San Pablo Airport. A first class airport in a city that has a long aeronautical tradition. Not in vain, next to the airport of Seville, extends one of the most important aeronautical complexes in Europe.
Seville Airport was enlarged in 1992, under a design by the prestigious architect Rafael Moneo. Its hall, dominated by arches supported by vaults, is a tribute to Sevillian and Andalusian culture.
The airport has an excellent parking, with access to the arrivals and departures halls, which offers all the necessary modalities: long, medium and short stay parking.
From Seville airport you can reach the center of Seville in just 15 minutes if you use your own car, rented or if you take a cab, and in about 35 minutes if you opt for the bus.

By train
You can reach Seville by train at any of its stations, and Seville is a pioneering city in the development of high-speed rail in Spain. In fact, in 1992 it was the inaugural destination of the first high-speed railway line to be built in our country.
Currently you can reach the Santa Justa Station on high-speed lines from Córdoba, Madrid, Zaragoza and Barcelona on the southwest-northeast AVE line and from Málaga through AVANT trains. And thanks to the high-speed connections with Europe, today a person could travel for example from London to Seville while still using the high speed.
Media Distancia trains run from San Bernardo Station, connecting Seville with Cádiz and Málaga. It forms part of the C-1, C-4 and C-5 lines of the Seville Cercanías network.
The location of both terminals is formidable, just a few minutes walk from the city centre.

By boat
Seville has access to the sea thanks to the Guadalquivir River, the only navigable river in Spain. For this reason, cruise ships full of travelers arrive in Seville every year. And they arrive at the very edge of the city center, a pedestrian crossing (literally) from Maria Luisa Park. Recently a new cruise terminal has been inaugurated given the boom that this type of tourism is having in Seville.
Arriving by boat in Seville has a special charm. Entering the Guadalquivir from the Atlantic Ocean through Sanlucar de Barrameda, and going up the river between the splendor of the Doñana National Park (biosphere reserve) and the rice paddies of the marshes is an experience you will not forget.
