About Seville
Three million people visit Seville each year, and it is easy to see why! The lively atmosphere and warm Mediterranean climate bring the city to life. Seville is the capital of Andalusia, an autonomous region that stretches from the coast of Cadiz to Seville, down to Malaga, and along the southeastern coast of Spain.
Seville through the centuries
Seville became an important river port city under Roman rule. Hispalis, as it was called by the Romans, grew its economy through trade and commerce on the Guadalquivir River. This is the only major river in Spain that is navigable and is an important source of freshwater.
As Roman rule subsided, the Visigoths briefly ruled Seville, followed by the Moors. The Moors brought Islam to the Iberian Peninsula and it is evident today in the development of Islamic architecture throughout Andalusia. From the 8th to 13th century, the Moors made major developments to Seville, including the Alcazar Palace. Elements of Islamic architecture are easy to spot: look for domes, geometric mosaics, and ceilings with muqarnas vaulting.
In the 15th century, Seville became an even busier port city as raw materials were imported from the Spanish colonies in Latin and South America. Seville became a gateway to the New World as traders used its inland port as a launching and return point. It is still the only river port in Spain.
### The City of Oranges
Today, Seville is immediately recognized in photos for its orange tree-lined streets. In the 10th century, Genovese merchants brought over bitter orange trees from Asia, and the commonly held belief became that anyone who had an orange tree would bring happiness to their life. Seville’s 48,000 orange trees bloom in the spring and the fruit is harvested for orange marmalade that is enjoyed all over the world.
### The origins of Flamenco
Flamenco originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, particularly in the provinces of Cadiz, Seville, and Huelva. The Gitano (Romani) community played a significant role in shaping Flamenco, bringing their music, dance, and oral traditions from their nomadic origins in India. Their intense moves and rhythmic complexity became integral elements of Flamenco.
Flamenco evolved organically over centuries, blending the influences of Andalusian folk music, Arabic melodies, and Romani rhythms. It became a form of spontaneous expression among marginalized communities, often performed at weddings, festivals, and intimate gatherings.
In the 20th century, Flamenco underwent a period of revival and gained international recognition as a symbol of Spanish culture and identity.
From Cadiz to Seville: travel tips
Follow these travel tips for the best experience on your trip from Cadiz to Seville!
Plan around the weather
Weather apps might not be able to tell you the exact weather conditions of a given day too far in advance, but having a general idea of the chance of rain, UV index, and expected temperature can go a long way toward making your trip as comfortable as possible.
Spain is especially hot in the summer, and you may not be acclimated to the weather. In this case, take it slow, drink plenty of water, and go out during times of the day when the sun is less intense. The early mornings and late evenings are best for those with sensitive skin or issues with the heat.
### Dress for the occasion
Your outfit should also reflect the activities for the day. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses will protect your eyes, while long, loose-fitting clothes will keep the sun off your skin. Seville is a fairly flat city, but sturdy shoes are still a must. Break in any shoes you plan to bring before going on your trip. If you plan on using a bike to get around, make sure your flowy skirts and pants can’t get caught in the bike chain!
### Have flexible timing
In Spain, it is not unusual to arrive up to an hour late to a social event. Being flexible with your dinner plans and open with your communication is crucial to having a positive experience while on your vacation.
If you are arriving in Cadiz from a cruise, take into account the time it will take to dock the ship and go through any customs or immigration lines. This may impact how quickly you can start your trip to Seville.
How to get from Cadiz to Seville
The distance from Cadiz to Seville is 75 miles (120 km), and the trip will take you from the southern coast of Spain inland to the capital of Andalusia. Check out these transportation options and pick the one that best fits your travel style and schedule.
Cadiz to Seville with a private driver
Flying out of Seville? A private driver is the fastest way to get to Seville, so if you are heading to the airport, using a direct transfer instead of public transportation will give you peace of mind. You also won’t need to allocate extra time for returning a rental car. Get right to your check-in desk with ease!
Your Daytrip driver will pick you up from your accommodation or cruise port in Cadiz and take you across the rugged landscapes of the Andalusian countryside safely to Seville. But getting to Seville is just half the fun! If your schedule allows, book some excursions to see on your way, like Medina-Sidonia or the Archaeological Ensemble of Italica.
Travel with confidence: Daytrip’s fleet of vehicles is insured, has children’s car seats and handicapped options, and is driven by professional drivers who speak both English and Spanish.
### Cadiz to Seville by bus

The Seville Bus Station Plaza de Armas is centrally located with plenty of connections, so getting a transfer to your accommodation from the bus station is easy. Check the public transit departure times online if you plan to arrive early in the morning or late in the evening. You can also take a taxi for the final leg of your journey if you’d like to go directly to your hotel or the airport.
### Cadiz to Seville by train
Renfe operates direct train lines between Cadiz and Seville. The trip is about 90 minutes, and tickets are between $15 and $24 (€14-€22). Trains leave frequently, about once per hour, but it is worth ordering your tickets ahead of time during the busy season or if you are arriving from a cruise in which many people will want to travel at the same time. Alternatively, you can order the tickets at the station but may be in a standing-room-only situation for the entire trip if it is too crowded.
Once you arrive at Seville's Santa Justa Train Station, you will need to transfer to the public transit system or a taxi to your accommodation.
Things to do when you get to Seville
With such a short drive between Cadiz and Seville, you’ll have the rest of the evening to have a nice dinner of jamon iberico, gazpacho, and sangria. For the rest of your time in Seville, make sure to do these top things:
Go higher at the Seville Cathedral Complex
The largest Gothic cathedral in the world is right here in Seville. It looks out of place among Seville’s mostly Moorish and Islamic-style buildings. If you want those 360° views of Seville, you’d better start climbing! The Giralda Tower is 340 ft (104 m) off the ground and is included in the tour of the cathedral.
### Visit the Royal Alcazar of Seville
Come see the oldest palace in Europe still in use. This UNESCO World Heritage site has guided tours and live reenactments of Seville’s most important historical events. HBO fans may also recognize the Royal Alcazar as the backdrop for seasons 5 and 7 of Game of Thrones.
### Go out for drinks and dancing on the Guadalquivir River
The Guadalquivir River runs through Seville and is the lifeblood of both the economy and their source of freshwater in the arid Spanish climate. It is Spain’s only major navigable river and makes Seville the only river port in the country.
Along the promenade, you can find restaurants and bars with outdoor seating, where you can enjoy the breeze off the river on warm Mediterranean nights. Have a glass of sangria with your tapas before heading out to go dancing.
### Learn Flamenco
Seville is the home of Flamenco dancing, so sign up for a week of classes to learn the basics with a partner. This upbeat, passionate dance has been performed in tablaos for centuries and is celebrated worldwide.
### Visit the Museo De Bellas Artes De Sevilla
The Museum of Fine Arts of Seville was founded in 1839 and is located in a palace. It has works by Spanish artists from the medieval era to the 20th century, with a special emphasis on the Golden Age of Sevillian painting during the 17th century. With tickets only costing $1.60 (€1.50), it is well worth the price just to have an air-conditioned space during the hottest days of summer.
### See ancient mosaics at the Lebrija Palace
The Lebrija Palace, also known as the Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija, is a historic mansion located in the heart of Seville, Spain. One of the most remarkable features is its extensive collection of Roman mosaics, which were discovered beneath the palace during excavations in the 20th century.
These exquisite mosaics, dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, depict scenes from Roman mythology, daily life, and history. They are beautifully preserved and displayed throughout the palace and are well worth the visit.
When is the best time to visit Seville
Seville is popular between March and October. During spring and autumn, the daytime temperature is between 64°F and 82°F (18°C to 28°C), and there is very little rain. Springtime in Seville is especially nice as you witness the city's thousands of orange trees in bloom.
When visiting in the summer, keep in mind that temperatures can exceed 95°F (35°C) on some days with a high UV index. Seville does not have a coastline or beach with a sea breeze, so it can be a challenge to cope with the heat. If you visit Seville in summer, do as the locals do and take a siesta for a few hours after lunch when the sun is the strongest.

“I 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.”
“We 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, we’d 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.”

“We 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. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.”
“We 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 comfortable”
“Gonzalo 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.”
“We 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.”
“Used 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.”
“Used 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.”
“We 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.”
“We 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.”
