Travel in Seville: Getting Around Without the stress
Planning a trip to Seville? Get ready for golden light, lazy lunches, and the sound of footsteps echoing through cobbled plazas. But what about those in-between moments—when you’re not sipping sherry or savoring jamón but simply trying to get from point A to B?
Let’s make that part easy.
Here’s how to move around Seville without losing your appetite (or your cool).
🚋 The Tram: Easy and Scenic
One of the easiest ways for food-lovers to get around Seville is by tram. If your trip revolves around Seville’s historic center—and let’s be real, it will—the tram is your best friend. It’s a single sleek line that glides between key sites like Plaza Nueva, Archivo de Indias, and the Cathedral.
