Transportation
Getting around the city
Seville is flat and compact, and most of what you will want to see is within walking distance of the old town. For the venue on the Reina Mercedes campus, buses, the commuter train and the city’s bicycles all stop close by.
Getting to the venue
- Bus: TUSSAM lines 03, 06 and 34 stop on Avenida Reina Mercedes, by the School.
- Commuter train: Virgen del Rocío station (Cercanías), about a five-minute walk.
- Bicycle: a SEVici bike station right in front of the School, and a bike lane along Reina Mercedes.
- On foot: about half an hour from the Cathedral, through the Parque de María Luisa.
City buses (TUSSAM)
Buses cover the whole city. Pay the driver, or tap a contactless card or phone on most buses. For several trips, a rechargeable Tarjeta Multiviaje (from kiosks and TUSSAM offices) makes each ride cheaper, and tourist cards give unlimited travel for one or three days. Routes and times on tussam.es.
Metro and tram
Metro line 1 crosses the city from east to south-west, and the short Metrocentro tram runs through the centre past the Cathedral and Avenida de la Constitución. Handy for some hotels, though for the venue the bus or the commuter train is usually more direct.
Bicycle
Seville has one of Spain’s best networks of bike lanes. The public bicycles of SEVici have stations all over the city, with a short-term pass for visitors; private rental shops and e-scooters are easy to find too.
Taxi
Taxis are white with a yellow diagonal stripe; hail one on the street (green light on), find a rank, or call Radio Taxi Sevilla (+34 954 580 000). Ride-hailing apps also operate in the city.
Walking
The best way to see the old town, whose narrow streets are mostly closed to traffic. In June, walk in the morning and the evening, keep to the shady side and carry water: the middle of the day is very hot.
