Private car transfer
from Malaga to Seville

Daytrip's private car service can fill the gap between getting a rental car and having the convenience of mass transit. Get the best of both worlds and let someone else worry about the speed limits on the road while also not being constrained by bus and train timetables. Add sightseeing stops at places like Italica, Ronda, or Antequera and learn about local culture from your English-speaking driver. Do your trip your way!

Seville was founded over 2000 years ago, but it was the Moors who arguably left the most lasting and distinctive mark on the city. You'll see Islamic influence on the architecture throughout Seville, but the UNESCO-listed Alcazar is undoubtedly the pinnacle. While strolling the streets, you'll be shaded by some 48,000 orange trees, which are the symbol of the city, and their bitter oranges are used for marmalade. Seville is also the home of Flamenco dancing, and you can catch performances in its many tablaos.

Live like a local: siesta style

Spain copes with the intense heat and sunshine of the afternoon by closing up shop for a midday rest. It is normal for shops and attractions to be closed for a few hours after lunch at the hottest part of the day. However, to make up for it, you will notice they close later than you might expect in other countries. Try to time your trip to be on the road during siesta!

Malaga to Seville by private car service

Daytrip's private car service makes customized travel days a breeze. Once your bags are packed and ready to go, your private driver will pick you up from Malaga and bring you northwest across Andalusia. Take your time to visit Setenil de las Bodegas or natural wonders like Cueva del Tesoro before arriving safely at your doorstep in Seville. Since you have complete control of your itinerary, this is by far the most comfortable and enriching option. And with prices starting at $66 per person, it's especially economical for a group!

Malaga to Seville by bus

Alsa operates buses daily to Seville for as little as 17 EUR. The journey is 2 hours and 45 minutes, but make sure to order tickets in advance and check the timetable up to a month ahead of time for the best price and departure times.

Malaga to Seville by train

AVE, Avant, and Media Distancia service the Malaga to Seville route and have frequent trains throughout the day. Tickets are between 27 and 50 EUR and the direct trains can get you to Seville in 2 to 3 hours. Trains reach speeds of about 50 miles/hr (80 km/hr), so aren't by any means "high-speed".

Go to greater heights at the Seville Cathedral Complex

The Seville Cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and stands out amid Seville’s mostly Moorish architecture. Its grandiose facade gives way to an equally intricate interior, both of which are so impressive that the cathedral was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don’t miss the unique pallbearer sculpture marking Christopher Columbus’ tomb! Also part of the cathedral complex is the Giralda Tower, which will bring you 340 ft (104 m) above the city for 360° views!

Admire the Alcazar

The Alcazar of Seville is another of the city’s three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, alongside the cathedral and Archive of the Indies. Built as a fort and later transformed into a royal palace by the Moors, the Alcazar is the finest example of Mudéjar architecture in the Iberian peninsula. Take a guided tour to be blown away by the impossibly intricate architectural details! If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, the Alcazar and its gardens brought Dorne to life.

Dancing and dinner along the Guadalquivir River

The Guadalquivir River connects Seville to the ocean, making the city Spain’s only commercial river port. The riverfront promenade has plenty of restaurants and bars with outdoor patios along the river where you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of warm Mediterranean nights with other couples and families.

Make dinner reservations at a flamenco tablao for the ultimate Seville experience. Flamenco is the regional dance of Andalusia and has an upbeat and passionate vibe. Enjoy a traditional meal with the added spice of dancers and musicians. If you find the rhythm contagious, sign up for a flamenco class!

In contrast, the summer months bring sweltering temperatures exceeding 95° F (35° C). Seville isn’t on the coast and is very far south, so coping with the heat can be challenging. If you visit Seville in summer, be like the locals and take a siesta during the hottest part of the day.
