Seville sightseeing bus: the city at a glance

A ride on an open-top bus to get your bearings, understand the distances and decide what you want to see later at a slower pace.

What it is good for (and what not)

The sightseeing bus is a good way to get an overall idea of Seville: see where each area lies, pass Plaza de España, the river or the great parks, and rest your legs while the city slides past the window.

What it cannot do is enter the heart of the old town. The streets of Santa Cruz and the centre are too narrow for a bus, and the great monuments are best enjoyed inside and on foot. That is why it works better as a complement than as a substitute for a tour.

Frequently asked questions

Who runs the activity?

A Seville organiser María works with. She does not run the activity herself: she advises you, checks availability and handles the booking.

How long is the ticket valid?

It depends on the type of ticket. María explains the options when you enquire.

Does it go into the Santa Cruz quarter?

No. The streets of the oldest part of town are too narrow; that area is best explored on foot, for example on the Santa Cruz quarter tour.

Is it worth it?

Yes, as a first overview or if you are short of time or have limited mobility. To really understand the city, complement it with a walking tour.

How much does it cost?

The price is set by the organiser and may vary with the date and type of ticket. María confirms it before booking.

Shall we talk about your visit?

Tell María when you are coming, how many of you there are and what interests you. She will reply with a clear proposal.
