Seville Airport (SVQ), also known as San Pablo Airport, is located approximately 12 km (7.5 miles) southwest of Seville city centre. Travelers have several transportation options to reach the city, with journey times typically ranging from 25 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic.
Private transfer: A private car or shuttle service is the most convenient option, especially for groups or those with luggage. Prices start at around €30–€45 per vehicle, depending on the company and time of day. This option offers door-to-door service and can be booked in advance via apps like Uber or local transfer providers.
Taxi: Taxis are readily available in the arrivals hall. The fixed cost to Seville city centre is approximately €22–€26, excluding possible tolls. This option is direct and faster than public transport during peak hours.
Public transport: The most economical choice is the Aerobús service, which connects the airport to the city’s main train station, Seville Santa Justa. A single ticket costs €4.50 and the journey takes around 30 minutes. From there, travelers can take a train or bus to their final destination. Alternatively, a regional train (Cercanías) runs hourly and costs €3.20, but requires a 10-minute walk to the station and can take up to 50 minutes total.
Seville Airport Transfer Tips
Check the Aerobús schedule in advance. The last departure is usually around 12:30 AM, but services may be reduced on weekends and holidays.
Be cautious with taxis: while most are trustworthy, always use the official taxi stands inside the terminal to avoid unlicensed drivers.
During rush hours (7–9 AM and 5–7 PM), traffic can delay travel times by up to 20 minutes. Factor this into your schedule if you're tight on time.
