Privater Autotransfer von Faro nach Seville

You can begin your sightseeing stops in Cacela Velha, with its spectacular coastal views, whitewashed houses, and staggering cliffsides. This small town is also home to some of the quaintest restaurants serving mouthwatering fresh seafood.

After filling your tummy, the Castle of Castro Marim awaits. This Moorish castle, founded in 1242, has an interesting history that you can learn during a tour. Then, don't forget about exploring Carmona before you get to Seville. This shining city has everything from Baroque churches to Roman gates to investigate.

After these explorations, Seville will welcome you with open arms. Your driver will drop you off in the city and handle your luggage to ensure you're ready to take on the city! Prepare for local wine tastings, flamenco shows, tapas crawls, and incredible grub!

Under Islamic rule, particularly during the Almohad period, Seville flourished. It became a cultural center and economic powerhouse. Many of the city's most impressive buildings were constructed during this time, such as the Real Alcázar. This grand palace can be explored right alongside Seville's historical Jewish quarter, the Barrio de Santa Cruz.

As you explore the Islamic influence on the city, you will also encounter the lasting impact of the Moors. A simple walk through the surrounding neighborhood where the Alcazar is located will show you impressive examples of Moorish architecture, with stunning whitewashed homes, beautiful courtyards, cute gardens, and thin meandering alleyways. Christianity's influence is just as apparent—just take a look at the Seville Cathedral. It's the largest Gothic cathedral in the world!

All the walking will undoubtedly work up an appetite, but the good news is that the city has many different restaurants serving local cuisine that you can try. The food scene in Seville is one of the best in the world, so no matter where you stop and eat, you're likely to enjoy yourself. So, prepare your stomach and plan out the attractions you want to visit, as Seville awaits your curiosity and eagerness.

Don't make a big deal of this custom, and don't look down on it, as it's one way to earn the locals' dislike. If you cannot stand the idea, politely decline.

Remember to stay hydrated

You might not realize it, but Seville is one of Europe's hottest cities. During the summer, temperatures often top the 90s Fahrenheit and the low 100s aren't unheard of. If you plan on visiting during the summer, Seville will be hot, and so will many of the places along the way from Faro.

That's why it's crucial to stay hydrated. If you travel with Daytrip, you'll get bottled water, but buying a few more to keep on hand as you tour sites and attractions is never a bad idea.

You don't have to tip unless you want to

Those traveling from the US or other Western countries might be used to tipping at every meal, but it's not a requirement in most European countries, including Portugal and Spain. So, when you're traveling from Faro to Seville, you don't need to tip when you stop to grab something to eat at one of the local restaurants.

You also don't need to worry about tipping when eating in Seville itself at a cafe, restaurant, or kiosk. However, if you feel that you want to tip, rounding up your bill and leaving the change will suffice. If you're really happy with your experience, you can leave 5-10%.

Typically, the bus trip takes about two hours and 35 minutes, but this can vary depending on whether you have booked a direct trip. Most trips are direct, so you shouldn't need to worry about this.

Ticket prices vary based on the coach line. Rede Expressos is usually the cheapest, with tickets starting at $14. Flixbus and ALSA offer more amenities and slightly more expensive tickets, ranging from $17 to $27.

From Faro to Seville by train

Unfortunately, there is no direct train from Faro to Seville. If you want to travel by train, you will first need to take a bus to Huelva or Tavira before transferring to the train. The entire trip will take about four and a half hours, depending on the stopover time before you hop on the train.

Usually, Flixbus offers bus trips to the train station, where a Renfe Viajeros train will take you the rest of the way. Price-wise, it varies since you will need to book a bus ticket and a train ticket but expect the trip to cost around $37 one way.

You can also try driving part of the way with a taxi or private car service, but generally, we'd say it's better to stick with the direct options.

This cavernous cathedral can easily take 1 to 2 hours to explore---don't miss Christopher Columbus' tomb! We'd recommend buying tickets online in advance as there's often a line to buy them in person. If you want to learn more about the Cathedral's history, opt for the audio-guided tour. Be sure to climb the Giralda Tower for some fabulous panoramic views of the city!

Admire the glorious Alcázar

The Real Alcázar is another of Seville's UNESCO World Heritage Sites and one of the most beautiful Moorish Palaces in Spain. Really it's a toss-up between this and the Alhambra. The architectural details are so fantastic that the Alcazar was used as the real-world filming location for Dorne in "Game of Thrones". You can either purchase your ticket on the official website (recommended), or by the entrance, but make sure you bring your ID card.

Caminito del Rey

Outdoor enthusiasts will definitely want to add hiking the Caminto del Rey to their travel list when visiting Seville. This hiking trail is one of the most famous in Europe thanks to its vertiginous trails along a narrow gorge—quite scary if we're honest.

The trail has been revamped to be safer, and there are wooden walkways that you can cross while taking in breathtaking views from the sheer cliff face. It's naturally beautiful, adventurous, and exciting. While completing the trail, you might even spot a few local birds like griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures, or golden eagles.

Seville Aquarium

Those traveling with kids or who are young at heart will love visiting the Seville Aquarium. This Aquarium might not be as popular an attraction as other places in the city, but it's by no means boring.

With more than 400 fish species to see, the Aquarium can entertain for hours, especially if you try to spot different fish species like the colorful starfish at the rock pools. There are also friendly but fierce-looking bull sharks swimming around, which you can admire.

Itálica

If you didn't stop here on your ride with Daytrip, you should still look into making an excursion to Itálica, an ancient Roman ruin site just outside of Seville. This site was the birthplace of two emperors, Trajan and Hadrian, and visiting the site where they called home will transport you back to a time of raging wars and political intrigue.

Italica was also featured in a scene from Game of Thrones, so watch the episode and enjoy walking through the amphitheater, feeling like you belong to the fictional world. Also, if you have time, consider touring Seville's medieval monastery, the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, after visiting Italica.
