I would definitely suggest you to take the bus the first day you are in Seville in order to get an overall orientation and initial impression of the city. It is also a good way to see what areas you are interested in exploring when you have little time or just take advantage of when you are run off your feet. Seeing as there are only 4 stops (Torre de Oro, Plaza de Espana, Monasterio de Cartujo, Isla Magica), it does not make a lot of sense to use it as a sightseeing tour. You also get some information from the audio guide. However it is more a convenient method of transport, seeing as taxis are hard to get by and until you have figure out what route the city buses take, you will have wasted your precious time.

There are two tourist buses driving through Seville. They both cost the same and have the same bus stops. The green one however drives through the district of Triana. They both offer walking tours. The red one includes a walking tour around the cathedral area and over to Triana. The green one offers one walking tour around the cathedral and another around the Expo 1929 area, i.e. the Parque de Maria Luisa with Plaza de España and Plaza de America. All tours visit interesting historical sites, but personally I think it is nicer to stroll along these areas at your leisure, have a coffee and use the time instead to go into the cathedral and Alcázar as well as the museums located at the Plaza de Americas.



Boat tour
leaves at Torre de Oro

Tel: 954 561 692, 954 211 396

Price: 15€
Departure: every 30min on the hour and half hour from 10am "“ 10pm

The boat excursion takes 1 hour and I personally recommend you take it once it gets dark turning it into a romantic boat trip. The trip during the day itself is pretty boring and not worth paying the original price of 15€. You see sights from the river that you would see from the bus.

There are several options for a walking tour through Seville. The advantage is that you will find out a lot about the history of this beautiful city and its cultural background. It is always a good idea to explore a city with some background information. This company offers three different tours, which you can book seperately.

You need to figure out if it is worth the money so check out what is inlcuded You will receive discounts at some restaurants etc. and without taking advantage of these you will not save money on the sights themselves. Most museums etc. are for free and I doubt you can see as many monuments in 3 days to pay for all the costs. You would need to sit down and make a calculation, making sure you get to all sights in time whilst they are open. The Alcázar and the cathedral cost 14.50€ and will take all day, and the cathedral is free of charge on Sundays.

They also have special summer deals:(regular prices)
