Seville Hop-On Hop-Off Buses

Walking through the streets of Seville is a real pleasure for travellers, but the high temperatures, especially in summer, can be a nuisance. The tourist bus is an ideal option for exploring the city and enjoying its sights without feeling too cold or too hot.

The Seville tourist bus with panoramic views and free stops run by City Sightseeing is the most popular option in the city, and it's hard not to come across one on any walk through the Andalusian capital. You can get a ticket for this bus from S$41

How it works

• The ticket works on a hop-on, hop-off basis: you can get on and off at any stop, as many times as you like.
• You can do the entire route or use it as a means of tourist transport around the city.
• All buses are air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible.
• Purchase your City Sightseeing bus ticket online and receive it instantly by email.
• You can show the ticket on your mobile phone or bring a printed copy when you board the bus.
• When purchasing, you select a date of use, but you can activate it up to 3 months later.
• The pass is activated upon first use, and the time begins to count down from that point (for example, 24 hours from the first time you board).

If this is your first time visiting Seville, you may not be familiar with these names, but you will surely be familiar with some of the points of interest you will find along the route. I recommend using the audio commentary so that, in addition to enjoying the views, you can put them in context and know what you are seeing.

Ana's Traveller Tip

At least once, I recommend relaxing and taking the full tour of the city while listening to the audio commentary.

You may have noticed that the 48-hour ticket for the tourist bus also includes several free walking tours. If you have taken one of these tours and enjoyed it, I recommend you take a look at this article about 9 Best Tours and Day Trips from Seville

Visiting a place with an expert guide is a completely different experience from doing it on your own. On your own, you can get to know a city, but with the guidance of a local, you can discover its history and customs. When you return from your trip, you will not only be able to say that you have seen Seville, but that you "know" Seville.

If you also want to learn more about its main attractions, you can take guided tours of the Alcázar and the Cathedral. Here are my practical guides with everything you need to organise them: Alcázar of Seville Tickets and Tours and Seville Cathedral and Giralda Tickets and Tours.
