Rules in force · 9Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Iberia ↗Plan meals on the Iberian clock: Spanish kitchens serve lunch from about 13:30–14:00 and dinner from 20:30–21:00; Portugal eats an hour or so earlier. Early evenings are for tapas or petiscos, not full meals.
  • Iberia ↗Inland Spain and Portugal (Seville, Córdoba, Madrid, the Alentejo) pass 40 °C in heatwaves from late June to August: sightsee before 11:00 and after 18:00, and keep July–August for the coasts and the green north.
  • Iberia ↗Andorra and Gibraltar have their own border and customs rules and are reached only through Spain (or France for Andorra); read their pages before adding them, especially if you hold a limited Schengen visa.
  • Spain ↗Spain is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
  • Spain ↗High-speed trains have airport-style baggage screening at the station and boarding gates that close a few minutes before departure: arrive early.
  • Spain ↗Carry your passport or ID: police may ask for it, and hotels must register every guest's document.
  • Spain ↗The Alhambra in Granada and the Sagrada Família in Barcelona sell timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead in season; book on the official sites before you fix your dates.

Seville is Andalusia's capital and Spain's fourth-largest city, with an old centre you can cross on foot in 30 minutes. The Alcázar, the cathedral and the Giralda carry the sightseeing; flamenco, tapas bars and the river carry the evenings. Most trips work at 3 nights, and the city is at its best in spring and autumn, not in the 40 °C-plus July and August.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

Walk. The sights sit inside a compact old centre and the tram covers barely 2 km of it. City buses (Tussam) fill the gaps; the single fare is about €1.40, less with a rechargeable card. The metro does not reach the old town or the main sights. Taxis and Cabify, Uber and Bolt are easy to find.

See & do

Day-trips, door to door

Day-trips

Door-to-door, not ride time

Córdoba

go

Door to door: About 45 min each way plus station time

AVE or Avant high-speed train from Santa Justa

The Mosque–Cathedral is the reason to go; book a timed entry.

Itálica, Santiponce

go

Door to door: About 45–60 min

Bus from Plaza de Armas or a taxi, then walk

Roman amphitheatre and mosaics; go early, there is little shade.

Sierra Norte

overnight

Door to door: 1–1.5 h

Car or bus to the villages north of the city

Hiking country; a day trip wastes the drive.

Cádiz

go

Door to door: About 2 h

Train from Santa Justa, about 1 h 40 min

Long but doable; the old town and beach fill a day.

Granada

overnight

Door to door: About 3 h

Train or bus, 2 h 30 min–3 h

The Alhambra needs a timed ticket and half a day; sleep there.

Eat & sleep

Which area to sleep in

Where to sleep

Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.

Barrio Santa Cruz

Old Jewish quarter between the cathedral and the Alcázar; walk to everything, but the most touristy and the most expensive.

Centro / Alfalfa

Around Plaza Nueva, Sierpes and the Alfalfa squares; central, good tapas, 10–15 min on foot to the cathedral.

Triana

Across the river; calmer, cheaper, strong food and flamenco, 15–20 min walk to the cathedral over Isabel II bridge.

Alameda de Hércules

North of the centre; nightlife and local bars, 20 min walk to the cathedral.

Around Santa Justa station

Practical for early trains only; no old-town atmosphere.

Watch out

Safety

Seville is a safe city for its size; the real risks are summer heat, pickpockets in the cathedral queue and Santa Cruz, and car break-ins. Use 112 for any emergency.
  • Summer heat is the real risk: plan indoor sights for 13:00–17:00 in July and August.
  • Pickpockets work the cathedral queue, the Santa Cruz lanes and crowded buses.
  • Do not leave anything visible in a parked car; break-ins are common.
  • Buy Alcázar tickets only from the official site, in advance in high season.
  • Some bars in the most touristy lanes have no posted prices: ask the total before you order.

  2. Four walking clusters with rescue anchors: cathedral and Alcázar, Santa Cruz, Triana, Alameda and Las Setas.
  3. Place pages with verified cutoffs (Alcázar, cathedral and Giralda, Las Dueñas, Torre del Oro) and eat pages with last orders.
  4. Semana Santa and Feria fixtures so gates A–D can go green.
