About Seville
After a memorable drive from Vilamoura to Seville, you'll arrive in Spain's fourth-most populous city. Home to almost 700,000 friendly locals, it's the capital and largest city in the southern province of Andalusia.
Seville's location along the Guadalquivir River, proximity to the sea, and position beneath the Sierra Morena Mountain Range were vital to its rich past. The Romans founded the city in the 1st century BC as a crucial trade hub for the empire. After its fall, the constant changing of Christian and Muslim rulers for centuries helped shape the cityscape.
Today, there's a distinctive city, blending Moorish, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture throughout Seville's old town. Although it looks like a town trapped in the past, its delicious food scene with trendy tapas bars and buzzing nightlife with groups of students ensures that you're still firmly in the 21st century!

From Vilamoura to Seville: travel tips
Although the distance from Vilamoura to Seville is only 134 miles, there are a few tips and tricks to enhance your travel experience. Do your homework to be prepared for your journey!
Prepare for cultural changes
Portugal and Spain are part of the Schengen area, so you'll cross the border without formality. But there are still some cultural differences to acknowledge. Most notably, the language will switch from Portuguese to Spanish, and in Spain, you may find businesses closed in the afternoon for siesta. You should also prepare for the increased costs, nightlife, and tipping cultures.
Plan your stops in advance
Many people traveling from Vilamoura to Seville are often disappointed as they speed past unique experiences such as wine tasting at Quinta da Tor or exploring the ancient Castillo de Niebla. Before booking a seat, ensure that your mode of transportation stops en route!
Pack the essentials
For every road trip, you should pack a light bag with a few essentials for easy access. The road from Vilamoura to Seville is sundrenched almost year-round, so sunscreen, sun hats, and glasses are vital if you stop to explore the natural wonders here. You'll also need plenty of water, snacks, and top travel books to keep you informed and entertained.
How to get from Vilamoura to Seville
Vilamoura is a small seaside town and isn't as popular as other destinations along the Algarve coast. As a result, you might be struggling to figure out how to get from Vilamoura to Seville. Fortunately, we're here to break down your options.
Bus from Vilamoura to Seville
Unfortunately, no direct public transport is available between Vilamoura and Seville. Instead, you'll have to transfer once, if not twice.
Every trip begins with Bus 9 from Vilamoura Navegantes Bus Station to Faro Terminal RodoviΓ‘rio. The short local bus ride will take between 25 and 30 minutes.

Since you're catching a ride with whoever happens to be driving from Vilamoura to Seville, there are no set timetables, prices, departure, or arrival points. There might not even be any rides available on the day you want to travel, or if you're traveling as a family or with luggage, there might not be a large enough vehicle. Prices usually range from β¬10 to β¬30 one way. But if you're solo and feeling adventurous, you could look into it.
Things to do when you get to Seville
Endless historical and thrill-filled attractions litter the streets of Andalusia's capital, so deciding what to see and miss out on can be overwhelming. To make your life easier, we have listed the unmissable things to do when you get to Seville after traveling from Vilamoura!
Admire the Plaza de EspaΓ±a
Plaza de Espana is a square built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 and today serves as a dazzling example of Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture. Designed by architect AnΓbal GonzΓ‘lez, it features a semicircular building decorated with colorful ceramic tiles and a canal spanned by ornate bridges.
While here, admire the intricate tilework representing each province of Spain before strolling along the promenade. Or, if you need a break from the history lessons, rent a rowboat to paddle in the canal!
Visit the Alcazar of Seville
The Alcazar of Seville is the most stunning of Andalusia's eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Its roots date back to the 10th century. But its exquisite architecture and pristine condition make it feel like experts constructed the building in 2024.
It showcases the Moorish influences of the city, and it's unquestionably the most beautiful of Seville's historical buildings. Not only will you admire the architecture, but you can also take a guided tour to learn about its history and access the gardens to unwind in a true urban oasis!
Climb up Torre del Oro
A somewhat underrated Seville attraction is Torre del Oro. This 13th-century tower was one of Europe's most feared prisons for centuries. Before that, the Almohad Caliphate state constructed the structure as a watchtower to defend it from invading armies.
Today, their corridors still wind up in this cylinder-shaped building. However, fortune favors the brave. And if you venture through these paths, you'll be rewarded with views of the leafy promenade hugging the Guadalquivir River until it softly rolls into the busy lanes of downtown.
When is the best time to visit Seville?
From the summer's outdoor activities to the winter's magical Christmas market, there's never an underwhelming time to travel from Vilamoura to Seville. However, the shoulder periods offer something slightly more than their counterparts.
Seville in the spring
Spring lasts from mid-March to the middle of June, and travelers often regard this period as the best time to travel. In the summer, the scorching heat can be overwhelming. But spring's pleasant average temperature of 67Β° Fahrenheit is ideal for walking tours and al fresco dining.
The blooming wildflowers and abundance of festivals are other reasons to visit in the spring. The most beloved local event is the Seville Spring Fair. The lanes burst into life with vibrant colors and upbeat live street performances.
Seville in the fall
The fall months, from mid-September to November, are the second shoulder period in Seville. It's one of Europe's hottest regions during this time, so you can still spend the day outside.
The changing leafy roads from green to burnt oranges perfectly complement the rustic town, and the lack of tourists means you can enjoy the setting at your own pace. Yet, the most enticing reason to travel in the fall is the exclusive hotel discount to attract customers after a busy summer.

Why people love Daytrip
- 680 travelers took this route with us
βI used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.β
βWe were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, weβd especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.β
Best transport company anywhere
βWe absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. Itβs worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. Itβs 5 star rating is well deserved.β
Excellent experience in traveling
βWe traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortableβ
Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation
βGonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.β
βWe were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.β
βUsed the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.β
Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico
βUsed Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.β
Great way to travel and see some sights on the way
βWe did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.β
βWe used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.β
