Transfert en voiture privée de Marbella à Seville

Antequera is so photogenic that it's worth making an hour's detour to visit. Along with the medieval fortified walls, and 3rd-century citadel, there are over 30 churches to seek out. And on the outskirts of town, the 5000-your-old Dolmens have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Or follow in the footsteps of Alexandre Dumas, Ernest Hemingway, and Orson Welles with a walk through cliff-top Ronda. But don't forget about stopping at the Royal Walls, Parque de la Alameda, and the Archeological Ensemble of Italica. The latter is a well-preserved Roman city with an awe-inspiring theater that was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones.

With so much to see on the road to Seville, Daytrip will transform your drive from Marbella into an unforgettable adventure before your driver delivers you safely to your accommodation in Seville.

Ancient Seville

Seville was originally called Hisoalis when it was founded as a Roman town in the 2nd Century BCE until it fell under Islamic rule in 711 and was renamed Ixvillia. With its roots in Islamic culture, it's unsurprising that Seville is recognized as the capital of Muslim Spain. However, the Muslim rule ended in 1248 when Spanish Christians overtook the city under the orders of Ferdinand II. Unfortunately, during this time, the city fell into ruin, with Jewish and Moorish minorities driven out.

Seville's golden age

After a few hundred years, in 1503, Seville was brought back to prosperity thanks to the Spanish discovery of the Americas. This discovery led to the city becoming the center of the exploration through the 'House of Trade.'

By the early 16th century, Seville was Spain's richest and most populous city; by the 17th century, the city's cultural life underwent a significant flowering. This is thanks to the works of Juan Martínez Montañés, Diego Velázquez, and Francisco de Zurbarán, whose work can still be seen today.

Modern Seville

Interestingly, it wasn't until 1992 that the city began to modernize its roadways, transportation, and monuments. This year saw the development of the high-speed train Alta Velocidad Española and the old train station being turned into an exhibition hall that tourists can visit.

With such a varied history, tourists can expect to see Jewish, Islamic, Roman, Christian, and Spanish influences throughout the city. This special city has a unique story behind everything, from its art, sculptures, monuments, churches, and building architecture to the artifacts lined in museums, bustling musical festivals, and the food sold at eateries.

Stop for sightseeing

Although the drive from Marbella to Seville isn't too far, stopping for sightseeing is a great way to stretch your legs and experience more local culture.

While you can't do this with public transportation, Daytrip's private car service lets you stop for sightseeing along the way, or just for a quick pit stop. Some of our personal recommendations include stopping by Estepona, Setenil de las Bodegas, and Jerez de la Frontera.

Book your trip in advance

Just like you should plan stops in advance, you should also book every other aspect of your trip ahead of time. By booking everything from accommodation, ride services, attraction tickets, restaurants, and shows in advance, you'll secure the best prices while avoiding disappointment while traveling. Trust us, whether traveling by car, train, or bus, Marbella to Seville is a popular route, so you'll want to be prepared.

Consider hiring a private car service

Hiring a private car service like Daytrip to drive you from Marbella to Seville is one of the best decisions you could make for your holiday. Daytrip caters to solo travelers and excited families who want to take in as many sights as possible while on vacation. With Daytrip, you won't have to worry about developing a backup travel plan. Their drivers are friendly, safe, on time, and can help with your luggage.

Bus from Marbella to Seville

There is a direct bus from Marbella to Seville, but it's important to note that the bus only makes two departures daily. There is usually a bus in the morning at around 9:30 AM and in the late afternoon at about 4:20 PM. The ticket prices vary based on the time of year but range between 19 and 30 euros. Indirect buses are more frequent and can get you from Marbella to Seville in between 4 and 6 hours. The Marbella bus station is north of the town center and slightly inconvenient to get to, and has limited facilities and amenities, with very few nearby restaurants and shops. Once you're on the bus, there's a bathroom, and usually TV or wifi, though this doesn't always work. Because it's a popular route, the bus can often get crowded or sell out.

Typically, the Marbella bus will drop you off at the safe Plaza de Armas bus station in Seville, which is near the river and a taxi ride away from town.

Private car from Marbella to Seville

Daytrip's private car service is the fastest and most convenient way to get from Marbella to Seville. With Daytrip, your professional driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation in Marbella and drop you off in Seville at your chosen destination in the city. We'll even handle your luggage, so you don't have to lift a finger.

Along the way, you can chat with your English-speaking driver about local culture or tips on things to do when you get to Seville. To make your trip even more enriching, stop for sightseeing along the way and fill your day with amazing experiences.

With Daytrip, you're hiring a private vehicle, so prices vary based on the number of travelers in your party. But seats can be as low as 76 euros per person for a one-way trip. This might not be as cheap as the bus, but it is far more comfortable and faster than all other available travel options with less hassle involved.

Train from Marbella to Seville

Unfortunately, Marbell does not have a train station as the train network doesn't operate further than Fuengirola. However, you can take the bus or a taxi to Fuengirola and then a direct train from this location to Seville. This can be pricey and slow since you need to take two modes of transportation, so isn't recommended.

Wander the Metropol Parasol

The magnificently unique Metropol Parasol is impossible to miss when you're at the Plaza de la Encarnación. This towering wooden masterpiece was constructed in 2011 and is one of the city's newest attractions, but this doesn't take away from the fact that it's an architectural wonder.

The unique, mushroom-shaped building is the largest wooden structure in the world, covering shops, markets, restaurants, an archeological museum, and rooftop walkways alongside an open-air public square. It's the perfect place to stop for a moment and enjoy a meal with friends or family and snap some pics of a truly unique piece of modern architecture.

Explore the Alcázar of Seville

Blending Moorish, Renaissance, and Gothic architecture, the Alcazar of Seville is arguably Andalusia's most impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On a guided tour, you'll learn about its ancient history from when the Abbadid Dynasty developed the building into their living quarters. But the Alcazar's history didn't end centuries ago. Strolling its beautiful gardens and intricately decorated rooms, you might notice you've stepped into Game of Thrones.

Visit the Museo de Bellas Artes

Although Seville has a rich history and culture that is well represented in its monuments and sites, the best way to uncover the city's past is through the art it produces.

Founded in 1835, the Museo de Bellas Artes has an extensive collection of artwork with countless pieces dating from the Medieval to the 20th century. The galleries include some of the greatest works by Spanish artists such as Francisco de Zurbarán and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.
