Seville Hop-On Hop-Off Buses

Walking through the streets of Seville is a real treat for travelers, 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 hot or too cold.

The best tourist bus in Seville with panoramic views and free stops is run by City Sightseeing, and it's hard not to come across one on any trip through the Andalusian capital. You can get a ticket for this bus from $32

How it works

The pass for the Seville tourist bus is based on the hop-on hop-off concept. This means that once you buy a ticket for these buses, you can use it in two ways: either by taking the entire route or by using it as a means of transportation, getting on and off at the stops you want and as many times as you want.

All tourist buses are air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible.

How to book

Once you have purchased your ticket for the tourist bus, you will receive your ticket automatically and you can print it out or show it on your mobile phone when you board the bus. You will also be sent an email with all the available information when you make your reservation.

How to activate

When you book your 24-hour pass, you must choose a specific day on the calendar to use it, but you can activate it up to three months after that date. It is activated upon first use, and the time begins to count down from that moment. In other words, if you activate the 24-hour pass at 12 noon on a Friday, you can use the city's tourist buses until 12 noon on Saturday.

Advantages of the tourist bus

To have timetables and stops at your fingertips, or even to track where the tourist buses are at any given time, you can download a free mobile app: "City Sightseeing España." You can also request an information map by email or at any of the points of sale.

Although the historic center of the city can be covered on foot, to reach important neighborhoods such as Triana or La Macarena, you will need to use public transportation, a problem that is solved by the tourist bus route.

Itinerary

Although they often go unnoticed, all tourist bus passes include a number of additional benefits. In Seville, these benefits are even more significant than in other cities, and I recommend that you review them carefully when planning your trip. Some of them are sure to interest you.

What's included

Ana's Traveler Tip

Don't think twice and take the free walking tours included with your tourist bus pass; you'll more than make up the cost of the ticket.

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

Main attractions

Ana's Travel Tip

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

Did you know that the 48-hour ticket for the tourist bus also includes several free walking tours? If you've done any of them and enjoyed them, 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 completely different 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 won't just be able to say that you've 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 organize them: Alcázar of Seville Tickets and Tours and Seville Cathedral and Giralda Tickets and Tours.
