Seville airport is close to the city, and transport costs are reasonable. Here is a straightforward breakdown.
EA Airport Bus — €6 single / €8 round trip
The Especial Aeropuerto bus costs €6 for a single ticket and €8 for a same-day round trip (Aena/Tussam, 2026). It runs every 20-30 minutes and takes 30-45 minutes to reach the city center, with stops including Santa Justa train station and Plaza de Armas. This is the cheapest option and works well for travelers without heavy luggage. Towards the city it runs from about 4:30 AM to 00:05, just after midnight.

Other destinations
Taxi — €26-29 fixed
Seville airport taxis use a regulated fixed-fare system, not the meter (Aena, 2026):
- Weekday daytime, 7:00 AM-9:00 PM (Tarifa 4): €26 flat to central Seville
- Nights, weekends, and holidays (Tarifa 5): €29 flat
These fixed fares cover most central destinations including Santa Cruz, Triana, Macarena, Nervion, and the area around the cathedral. The fare should be displayed in the taxi and at the rank. A supplement may apply for oversized or excess luggage — check the rate sheet posted at the rank for the current amount. Tariffs are revised periodically — check the sheet posted at the rank before you travel.
For destinations outside the city center, the meter applies, which means the cost is variable.
Ride-hailing — dynamic pricing
Uber and Cabify use dynamic in-app pricing rather than a published fixed fare, so cost varies with time and demand. Availability varies too — during busy periods or late at night, you may not find a driver. Check the app for an estimate before you book.
Pre-booked transfer
Private transfer prices depend on vehicle type (sedan vs. minivan) and provider, and are fixed once you book. For a solo traveler this is typically pricier than a taxi; for a family in a minivan, the per-person cost can be comparable. Check the quoted price for your specific route and vehicle before booking.
Beyond central Seville
If you are heading to destinations outside the city — Dos Hermanas, Alcala de Guadaira, Carmona, Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz, Cordoba, Malaga, or the Costa de la Luz beaches — the airport's fixed city tariff no longer applies. A metered taxi or a pre-booked transfer with a fixed quote for that specific route are your options; get a quote before you travel, since distance-based pricing varies by provider and the ride can run to two hours or more.
For longer distances, a pre-booked transfer provides price certainty that a metered taxi cannot.
Cost comparison by group size
Solo traveler: The bus at €6 is hard to argue with. A taxi at €26 daytime is the convenience upgrade.
Couple: Two single bus tickets are €12 total (or use the €8 round-trip fare per person if returning the same day); the daytime taxi is still €26 since it is a flat fare per ride. The taxi is often the simpler choice for two.
Family of four: Four single bus tickets total €24; the daytime taxi is still €26 flat. The taxi is the sweet spot for most families. A transfer makes sense if you need a child seat or have complex luggage — get a quote for your vehicle size.
Group of 5-6: A minivan transfer can work out cheaper per person than two taxis and is simpler logistically — compare the quoted transfer price against two taxi fares for your dates.
