Seville Public Transport and Walking Itinerary

Day 1 · Fri, Oct 30
Santa Cruz, Seville

Historic Seville arrival

  1. Palmete to Hotel Fernando III Sevilla — Palmete–Santa Cruz; park in the industrial area, walk to Palmete station, then take TUSSAM bus 25/26 toward Prado de San Sebastián and walk to the hotel; allow ~50–70 minutes, departing around 14:15.
  2. Jardines de Murillo — Santa Cruz; peaceful gardens beside the old city walls, ~45 minutes.
  3. Plaza de España — Parque de María Luisa; Seville’s monumental semicircular plaza, late afternoon, ~1 hour.
  4. Real Alcázar of Seville — Santa Cruz; explore the palaces and gardens, ~2 hours; timed admission should be booked in advance.
  5. Bodega Santa Cruz “Las Columnas” — Santa Cruz; inexpensive tapas and classic local atmosphere, dinner ~€10–18 per person.

Leave the vehicle parked in the industrial area at the east end of Palmete and walk to Palmete station for the TUSSAM 25 or 26 toward Prado de San Sebastián. Allow roughly 50–70 minutes door to door, including the walk, waiting time and the final walk to Hotel Fernando III Sevilla; departing around 14:15 is sensible. Buy or pay for the bus fare onboard or via the TUSSAM system, and keep luggage manageable because the last section through Santa Cruz is easiest on foot.

After checking in, start at Jardines de Murillo, where shaded paths, tiled benches and orange trees make for an easy first wander beside the old city walls—allow about 45 minutes. Continue through Parque de María Luisa to Plaza de España, best reached on foot in roughly 15–20 minutes. Give the plaza about an hour, including time to see the ceramic provincial alcoves and walk along the canal. Both areas are free; late afternoon is particularly pleasant, though the park becomes quieter as daylight fades.

For the main visit, return to Real Alcázar of Seville in Santa Cruz—around 15 minutes from Plaza de España. Allow at least two hours for the palace rooms, courtyards and gardens. Timed admission is strongly recommended and depends on booking availability; do not rely on buying a same-day ticket, especially during a busy weekend. Finish with inexpensive tapas at Bodega Santa Cruz “Las Columnas”, where standing at the bar is usually the most atmospheric and economical option. Expect roughly €10–18 per person with modest drinks; if the first seating is busy, wait nearby rather than rushing the Alcázar visit.

Day 2 · Sat, Oct 31
Alameda de Hércules, Seville

Central Seville and Alameda

Getting there from Santa Cruz, Seville
Walk (25–30 min, free). Leave after the Santa Cruz morning activities, allowing time for Metropol Parasol and Mercado de Feria before continuing to Alameda in the evening.
TUSSAM city bus, typically lines 13/14 toward Alameda (15–25 min including walking, ~€1.40; buy onboard or via the TUSSAM app).
  1. Metropol Parasol — Encarnación; climb or admire Seville’s wooden landmark, morning, ~1 hour.
  2. Mercado de Feria — Feria; browse the historic market and inexpensive food stalls, late morning, ~1 hour.
  3. Iglesia de Omnium Sanctorum — Feria; see one of Seville’s notable Mudéjar churches, ~30 minutes, subject to opening.
  4. Casa Morales — Santa Cruz; atmospheric historic bodega for a low-cost drink and snack, afternoon, ~45 minutes, about €5–12.
  5. Alameda de Hércules — Alameda; finish with a relaxed promenade and budget dinner at one of the area’s casual tapas bars, evening, ~2 hours, about €12–20.

Morning

Walk from Santa Cruz to Metropol Parasol in about 25–30 minutes, via Calle Cuna and Plaza de la Encarnación. Aim to arrive around 9:30–10:00; the viewpoint generally opens later than the structure itself, so check the current Sunday hours before paying for the lift. The rooftop visit takes about an hour and costs roughly €5–8, while admiring the timber structure from street level is free. Continue north along Calle Regina and Calle Feria to Mercado de Feria, allowing about 15 minutes on foot. The market is usually liveliest from late morning, with inexpensive seafood, tapas and drinks; Sunday trading can be more limited, so treat the food stalls as an opportunity rather than a guarantee.

After browsing, spend around 30 minutes at Iglesia de Omnium Sanctorum, one of Seville’s finest Mudéjar churches, just a few steps from the market. Its opening is dependent on services and parish arrangements—dress respectfully and do not plan around an interior visit unless the door is open. This part of Feria is ideal for a slow wander; keep some small cash for market snacks, and expect many shops to close for the Sunday afternoon break.

Afternoon and Evening

Walk south through the historic centre to Casa Morales, around 20–25 minutes, arriving in the mid-afternoon for a drink and a simple snack. This old bodega is atmospheric rather than polished, with tiled rooms and large traditional wine jars; allow €5–12, depending on whether you choose a small tapa or a more substantial bite. From there, continue on foot toward Alameda de Hércules, roughly 15 minutes. Settle into the promenade as the light softens, then choose a casual tapas bar around the central avenue for dinner—budget about €12–20. Alameda de Hércules is particularly good for an unhurried Sunday evening: sit outside if the weather is mild, but keep an eye on your belongings in the busiest terrace areas. If you are tired, the TUSSAM 13 or 14 is a practical alternative to walking, but the route is short enough that walking is usually simpler.

Day 3 · Sun, Nov 1
Triana, Seville

Triana and riverside Seville

Getting there from Alameda de Hércules, Seville
Walk via Calle Amor de Dios and Puente de Isabel II (30–40 min, free). Depart in the morning to reach Triana for the bridge and market; this is generally faster and easier than waiting for a bus.
TUSSAM bus 13/14 toward Plaza del Duque, then walk to the bridge (25–35 min total, ~€1.40; TUSSAM app or onboard).
  1. Puente de Isabel II — Triana; cross from the center into Triana with river views, morning, ~20 minutes.
  2. Mercado de Triana — Triana; browse local produce and food counters, ~1 hour.
  3. Centro Cerámica Triana — Triana; learn about the neighborhood’s tile-making tradition, ~1 hour.
  4. Calle Alfarería — Triana; stroll among traditional ceramic workshops and tiled façades, afternoon, ~1 hour.
  5. La Comidilla — Triana; casual tapas and Andalusian dishes, dinner ~€15–25 per person.
  6. Muelle de la Sal — Guadalquivir riverfront; enjoy sunset views back toward the historic center, evening, ~45 minutes.

Morning

From Alameda de Hércules, allow 30–40 minutes to walk to Puente de Isabel II via Calle Amor de Dios and the central streets. Set out around 9:00 so you reach the bridge while the riverside is still quiet; the crossing takes about 20 minutes with time for views of the Guadalquivir and the historic centre. Continue straight into Mercado de Triana, allowing roughly an hour to browse produce stalls and food counters. On Sunday, individual vendors may keep shorter hours, so treat the market as a morning stop rather than arriving late.

Lunch and Afternoon

From the market, walk a few minutes to Centro Cerámica Triana, where a visit of about an hour explains the neighbourhood’s tile-making tradition; check the current Sunday opening hours, as cultural venues can have seasonal schedules. Afterwards, take an unhurried stroll along Calle Alfarería, looking into the traditional workshops and at the tiled façades. This is a good place to browse without committing to purchases—small ceramic pieces are generally more practical than larger tiles for travelling. Have a late lunch or early dinner at La Comidilla, a casual choice for Andalusian dishes and tapas; budget around €15–25 per person, and expect Sunday service times to vary, so an early booking or a quick same-day check is sensible.

Evening

After eating, walk towards the river and spend about 45 minutes at Muelle de la Sal for sunset views back across the Guadalquivir towards the illuminated historic centre. The riverside can feel breezy after dark, even in mild weather. From there, Hotel Fernando III Sevilla is roughly a 20–25-minute walk via Puente de Isabel II and the central streets; if you prefer not to walk, check the TUSSAM app for a live bus option, though waiting may take as long as the walk.

Day 4 · Mon, Nov 2
La Macarena, Seville

Macarena and northern Seville

Getting there from Triana, Seville
TUSSAM bus 03 from the Triana/Plaza de Cuba area toward San Jerónimo; get off near Parlamento/Macarena (25–35 min, ~€1.40; TUSSAM app or onboard). Depart in the morning for the Basilica and walls.
Taxi or Cabify (15–20 min, approximately €10–15; book through Free Now or Cabify), useful if carrying luggage or leaving before buses are frequent.
  1. Basílica de la Macarena — Macarena; visit Seville’s famous devotional basilica, morning, ~45 minutes.
  2. Murallas de la Macarena — Macarena; walk along the best-preserved section of the medieval walls, ~45 minutes.
  3. Parlamento de Andalucía — Macarena; admire the former Hospital de las Cinco Llagas from outside, ~30 minutes.
  4. Monasterio de Santa Paula — San Luis; see a historic convent and its church, ~1 hour, subject to Monday opening.
  5. El Rinconcillo — San Marcos; eat traditional tapas in Seville’s oldest bar, early dinner ~€15–25 per person.
  6. Palacio de Dueñas — Santa Cruz–San Luis edge; tour the elegant palace and courtyards, late afternoon, ~1.5 hours; check Monday admission availability beforehand.

Morning

From Triana, walk to the Plaza de Cuba area and take TUSSAM bus 03 towards San Jerónimo, getting off near Parlamento/Macarena. Allow 25–35 minutes, plus a little waiting time; buy a single ticket onboard or use the TUSSAM app, with the fare usually around €1.40. Aim to leave around 8:45–9:00 so you reach Basílica de la Macarena before the busiest devotional visits. The basilica itself is generally free, though opening and service times can affect access, so dress respectfully and avoid arriving during Mass. Spend around 45 minutes here, then walk along the adjoining Murallas de la Macarena for another 45 minutes. This is the best-preserved stretch of the old walls and is particularly atmospheric in the morning; access to the walkway can be limited or occasionally closed, but the exterior route still gives good views.

Continue a few minutes to Parlamento de Andalucía, the former Hospital de las Cinco Llagas. The monumental façade and its broad frontage are the main points of interest today, as you are viewing it from outside; allow about 30 minutes for photographs and a closer look. From here, walk south through the San Luis quarter toward Monasterio de Santa Paula, roughly 15–20 minutes through quiet historic streets. Monday opening is the key uncertainty: the convent’s church and museum follow limited visitor hours and may close around services, so check locally or on the official site before setting out. If open, allow about an hour and bring cash for the traditional small purchase of convent sweets if available.

Afternoon and evening

After Santa Paula, take an easy 10-minute walk towards El Rinconcillo in San Marcos for an early dinner, ideally around 17:30–18:00 before the bar fills. It is one of Seville’s most historic tapas addresses, but keep the order simple and budget-conscious: two or three traditional tapas with a drink should usually come to about €15–25 per person. Bar seating is quicker and less expensive than ordering a full meal, and opening hours can vary on Mondays.

Finish at Palacio de Dueñas, reached in roughly 15 minutes on foot from El Rinconcillo. Allow 1½ hours for the courtyards, rooms and gardens, but check Monday admission hours and book or confirm a timed entry beforehand—late-afternoon availability is not guaranteed, particularly outside the busiest season. If the palace is closed or sold out, keep the evening for a slow walk around the surrounding San Luis streets rather than trying to force another paid attraction; from here it is an easy walk back to Hotel Fernando III Sevilla.

Day 5 · Tue, Nov 3
Santa Cruz, Seville

Final morning in Santa Cruz

Getting there from La Macarena, Seville
Walk via San Luis and the historic center (25–35 min, free). Leave in the morning to arrive for the Cathedral and Giralda; this also fits the planned 11:00 departure from Hotel Fernando III afterward.
TUSSAM bus 13/14 toward Plaza del Duque, then walk to Santa Cruz (25–35 min total, ~€1.40; TUSSAM app or onboard).
  1. Catedral de Sevilla — Santa Cruz; visit Seville’s monumental cathedral, morning, ~1.5 hours; timed entry is advisable.
  2. La Giralda — Santa Cruz; climb the former minaret for city views, immediately after the cathedral, ~45 minutes; included with cathedral admission.
  3. Archivo de Indias — Santa Cruz; see the historic archive building and exhibitions, ~45 minutes, subject to opening.
  4. Café-Bar Las Teresas — Santa Cruz; have a final inexpensive breakfast or snack, ~€5–12 per person.
  5. Hotel Fernando III Sevilla to Palmete — Santa Cruz–Palmete; walk to Prado de San Sebastián and take TUSSAM bus 25/26, then walk to the parked vehicle; depart around 11:00 for ~50–70 minutes, allowing arrival before 13:00.

Morning

Start early from Hotel Fernando III Sevilla, walking through San Luis and the historic centre toward Santa Cruz; allow 25–35 minutes, and aim to be near the Catedral de Sevilla by about 8:45–9:00. If you prefer not to walk, TUSSAM buses 13 or 14 toward Plaza del Duque are the practical alternative, followed by a walk, but walking is usually simpler at this hour. Visit Catedral de Sevilla first, allowing around 1½ hours, then go straight up La Giralda for another 45 minutes. Cathedral entry is normally ticketed and a timed reservation is sensible; your admission generally covers the tower, but check the official schedule for the exact date and allow extra time for security.

A short walk around Plaza del Triunfo brings you to the Archivo de Indias, where the former merchants’ exchange and its exhibitions provide a quieter final cultural stop. Allow about 45 minutes, but treat it as conditional: opening hours can vary, particularly around public holidays or special closures, so check before relying on it. Finish at Café-Bar Las Teresas for a modest breakfast or snack—roughly €5–12 per person—and enjoy the old Santa Cruz atmosphere rather than trying to squeeze in another sight.

Departure

Return to Hotel Fernando III Sevilla to collect anything left there and leave around 11:00. Walk to Prado de San Sebastián, then take TUSSAM bus 25 or 26 toward Palmete; allow 50–70 minutes door to door, including waiting time and the final walk from the stop or station to the industrial area at the east end of Palmete. Buy a single ticket onboard or use the TUSSAM app, and keep a small time buffer for traffic and waiting so you reach the parked vehicle comfortably before 13:00.
