Seville Spain Travel Guide
How to Get to and From Seville Spain
There are so many ways to get around Europe. There is flying which is really the only option when trying to get to Seville from outside of Europe. Once you are in Europe you have lots of other options like train, bus and car.Flying
When I am looking for flights I use Google Flights to do my research. I really like google flights to do my research because they have features that help you find the best deals. I will explain how I do my flight research so you too can find good deals.
With Google Flights you can put in where you are flying out of and your date and instead of putting a destination you will click on the map. This will show you the prices to fly to all the major airports around the area you want to fly to. I do this to see if there are cheaper flights around your final destination and see if flying in there and then finding another flight or other transportation method to get to the final destination will be cheaper.
Another feature to find the best deal is to sign up for updates on flight prices. If you plan ahead and look up a flight in advance you can sign up to get notified if the price increases or decreases so you can try and buy when the prices are best.
Hope that was helpful for anyone looking into getting a flight into Spain.
Train
A very popular mode of transport in Europe is the train. There are tons of train lines all around Europe and this is the way I travelled around Spain. I used a website called Omio to find all my trains and get train tickets. After doing a lot of research Omio seemed to have the best deals and it was super convenient because you could get an app on your phone so you had all your train tickets on your phone. Another popular website to find trains is called Trainline. When I did my research I didn’t find better deals on Trainline but I would recommend comparing just in case. If you are travelling all around Europe by train I would look into getting a Eurail Pass (non-European residents) or Interrail Pass (European residents). These passes can be used for trains all around Europe. When I compared the price of the Eurail to buying individual train tickets off Omio, buying individual tickets was a better deal for my situation but double check with your trip as to which is the better option.Bus
Busses are another great mode of transport in Europe. But if you are going a long distance sometimes buses don’t run or they can take a very long time but within a country travelling by bus can be an awesome way to travel on a budget. The app I used when booking buses in Europe was called Flix Bus. They had incredible deals, some of my tickets were around 18 euros! Also having the app on your phone makes it so all your train tickets are in one place and easy to show.Car
And the last mode of transport a lot of travellers to Europe decide on is renting a car. I did not do this on my trip so I am not super knowledgeable on renting cars in Europe but make sure to do your research to make sure the place you are renting from is legitimate. Also, make sure that you have your international divers license.Best Time to Visit Seville Spain
The best time to visit Seville Spain is between the months of March to May. This period of time is called a shoulder season which means this time has the best balance of good weather but is also not super touristy. The months of July and August are when most travellers visit Europe so prices of flights, accommodations and more goes up. If you want to enjoy Seville Spain with good weather but with fewer crowds and more affordably come during the months of March and May.Where to Stay in Seville Spain
When I travelled around Spain I stayed in hostels. I find hostels great because they are affordable and a great way to meet other travellers. I found all my hostels off of Hostel World and I stayed in the Black Swan Hostel Sevilla. The Black Swan Hostel was great! The hostel was located in a great spot, the rooms and bathrooms were clean and nice, they had communal sitting areas where you could meet other travellers, they had a really big communal kitchen, and they organized events like a bar crawl and cooking classes. I had a great time staying here and recommend it to anyone planning on visiting Seville.What to See and Visiting in Seville Spain
Seville Free Walking Tour
You NEED to know about free walking tours! When visiting Europe free walking tours will be your best friend. The name “free walking tour” is a little deceiving because you usually pay for the tour but how it works is you pay nothing until the tour is over and you decide how much you want to tip. The tip to the tour guide is all you have to pay for these walking tours and you usually see and learn lots. I loved doing these walking tours on the first day I get to a new place to get myself situated and learn more about the destination. You can get a spot on these free walking tours on websites like GuruWalk and FreeTour.
Royal Alcázar
The Royal Alcázar was one of my favourite places I visited in Seville Spain. The Alcázar is a palace where you get to walk around and see all the rooms and learn about the history and outside the palace are beautiful gardens. This place is amazing and a must-see when you visit Seville. When I visited I spent around 2 hours walking around and seeing everything the Alcázar had to offer.
You have to get tickets to visit the Alcázar. I bought my tickets from GetYourGuide.
Plaza de España
The Plaza de España is a beautiful building in Seville. At the front of the building is a square surrounded by water. You can rent boats and paddle around the water or walk around, over the bridges, and through parts of the building. The Plaza de España is a must-see when you visit Seville and if you do a free walking tour you most likely will get to see it.
Flamenco Show
Spain is known for their Flamenco shows so it is a must when visiting. I got my tickets off GetYourGuide for a pretty affordable price. The show was around an hour long. There is dancing, singing, and guitar playing, it was great!
Hope this Seville Spain travel guide was helpful for those of you planning a trip there soon. I had such an amazing time and I am sure you will too!
