21 Apr How to move throughout Seville
Seville has the biggest historic centre of Spain and the third of all Europe, but it´s a flat city with a lot of pedestrian streets so it´s easy to get to know it on foot.
However, if we are tired or we want to go somewhere outside the city center, we can take the public transport, so in this paper we give you information about how to move throughout Seville using its wide variety, like bus, taxi, horse cart or bike.
How to get around Seville by public transport?
1. CITY BUS
The public transport Enterprise is called TUSSAM (www.tussam.es)
Around fifty lines communicate Seville´s different neighborhoods, from the city center to outside (lines from 10 to 43), lenghtwise lines (from 1 to 6), circle lines (With letter C) and special lines (Sevilla Fair, concerts, etc).
Rates:
- One way single ticket: 1,40 €.
- Rechargeable cards: Allow you to reduce the fee, with a price of 0,69€ each use and 0,76€ with transfer (you can take other lines in 1 hour).
- Turistic cards: No limit uses during one day (5€), three days (10€) or one month (35,30€). The card has a refundable fee of 1,50€.
You can take the single tickets inside the bus, as long as you can buy any card at the Tussam information points, airport, Santa Justa train station and some hotels.
Also, there ir an Airport shuttle service. The EA special line communicates the airport with the city center, with several stops at Kansas city avenue (two stops: in front of Ibis Hotel and at Santa Justa train station), Luis de Morales (Lebreros and Novotel Hotel), Avda. Carlos V, Paseo Colón (Torre del Oro) and Torneo avenue (Plaza de Armas Hotel).
You can take the ticket inside the bus or in the airport. Price: 4€ one way and 6€ round trip.
The Line 1 is the first and the only Seville underground line, with several stops in Seville and communication with other villages (Mairena del Aljarafe, San Juan de Aznalfarache and Dos Hermanas).
