Bike Rental Seville – How to Rent a Bike in Seville

Complete Guide to Bike Hire and Cycling in Seville

As of 2025, Seville has over 180 km of dedicated cycle lanes, making it one of Europe’s most bike-friendly cities. The city is mostly flat and the weather is suitable for cycling almost all year long, making it one of the best ways to explore Seville. For travellers staying a little outside the city centre, it’s an easy and enjoyable way to reach Seville’s main attractions without needing to rely on public transport.

Here are three easy ways to rent a bike in Seville and enjoy the city on two wheels.

Public Bike Rental in Seville

Seville has three public bike share systems with stations all over the city. It’s an affordable and flexible way to get around the city.
The three major public bike share options in Seville are Sevici, Lime and Bolt. With Sevici offering the largest selection of availability and stations, and Lime and Bolt offering more modern electric bikes.

Sevici Bike Rental

Sevici is Seville’s official bike-sharing service, operated by the City Hall, with 263 docking stations across the city. It’s perfect for short rides, picking up a bike at one station and returning it to another.

The bikes are suitable for all body types and come with adjustable seats, so you can easily set the height to whatever feels comfortable for you. They also have simple gears, although you probably won’t need them much, since Seville is completely flat, and a sturdy front basket that’s handy to carry a small bag.

In our opinion, the main downside is that the bikes are quite heavy, and because they’re used so often, some can be a little worn out (you might find bikes with loose brakes, a missing pedal or stiff gears).

You can choose between two short-term passes:

• 1-day ticket: €2.59 (€3.59 with insurance). It’s valid for 24 consecutive hours and gives you unlimited rides during that time, with the first 30 minutes free.
• 7-day pass: €13.33 (€14.33 with insurance). This option lasts for seven consecutive days and also includes unlimited access to the bikes, with the first 30 minutes of every journey free.

If your ride lasts longer than 30 minutes, extra time is charged at €1.03 for the first additional hour and €2.04 for each following hour.

There are also some long-term subscription options if you’re planning to stay in Seville for more than a week.

How Sevici Works

1. Sign up: Download the official Sevici app or visit the Sevici website to create an account and choose a plan.
   
2. Check and select your bike: Before you take a bike, check its condition on the app or at the station terminal. You can see previous users’ feedback and make sure the bike looks safe to ride.
   
3. Pick up your Sevici: In the app, swipe on “Release a Sevici” and choose the bike you want. Once selected, you have 60 seconds to unlock it from the station.
   
4. Ride around the city: Enjoy cycling through Seville’s flat streets and bike lanes. The first 30 minutes are free, regardless of the plan you chose.
   
5. Return your bike: When you finish, return the bike to any official Sevici station. Push it firmly into an empty slot until it locks and wait for the app to confirm your return.
   
6. Write a review: After ending your ride, tap the trip notification on your phone to rate the bike you used. Sharing quick feedback helps other riders choose well-maintained bikes and keeps the service running smoothly.

If you don’t have the app, every Sevici station has a self-service terminal where you can manage everything directly. The screens are available in several languages and let you:

• Buy a Daily or Short-Term Pass
• Choose and rent a bike directly from the station
• Check a map of nearby docking points to pick up or return a bike
• Add credit to your Sevici account using your bank card
• Print a small receipt with your selected route

Important things to know about Sevici

• You must always end your ride at a proper Sevici dock. Leaving the bike outside a station is not permitted and could result in extra charges.
  
• You should check their official app or Sevici map for available bikes and empty docking spaces ahead of riding.
  
• After the 30-minute free period ends, you’ll be charged based on time used.
  
• Sometimes all slots can be taken at busy stations. In that case, open the app to find the nearest station with free spaces, ride there, and dock the bike properly.
  
• Always make sure the bike is correctly locked to avoid extra charges.

Lime Bike Rental

Lime is one of Seville’s electric bike-sharing systems, offering a simple and eco-friendly way to get around the city. The company has been running the service since 2024, after winning the public tender to renew Seville’s fleet of shared e-bikes with new, more sustainable models.

These electric bikes are ideal for covering longer distances or for anyone who prefers a little extra help when cycling in the summer heat. You’ll find them parked all around the city centre.

To use Lime bikes, you’ll need to download the Lime app. From there, you can create an account, add your payment details and start unlocking bikes anywhere in Seville.

The cost is €0 to unlock and €0.33 per minute of use, billed automatically through the app.

Lime also offers LimePass, which gives you discounted minutes and unlimited free unlocks. There are four pass options to choose from:

• 30 minutes (valid for 1 day): €3.99
• 60 minutes (valid for 3 days): €7.99
• 180 minutes (valid for 7 days): €17.99
• 280 minutes (valid for 30 days): €25.99

If you’re planning to use Lime more regularly, there’s also LimePrime, a monthly subscription with extra perks and more flexibility. It costs €5.99 per month (renews automatically, cancel anytime) and gives you free unlocks or 25% off rides, plus longer reservation times before your trip starts.

After each ride you can easily check how many minutes you have left.

Bolt Bike Rental

Bolt is the other electric bike-sharing system in Seville, operating since 2024. These e-bikes are made with a recyclable aluminium frame which feels very light. They can reach speeds of up to 25 km/h and have a battery range of around 90 km per charge, making them ideal for exploring Seville without worrying about running low on power.

They come with ergonomic handlebars and an adjustable saddle so you can easily set the right height for your ride. Each bike also has a small front basket where you can place a bag (max. 5kgs)

To rent a Bolt e-bike, just download the Bolt app and add a payment card to your account.

Once that’s done, getting started is easy:

• Open the app and tap the bike icon.
• Check the map to find and select a nearby bike.
• When you’re ready, unlock it, start pedalling and enjoy the ride.
• Before ending your ride, check the map in the app to find one of the designated parking areas, marked with a “P”.
• When you reach a parking area, place the bike within the marked zone, use the kickstand to keep it steady, and make sure it’s neatly parked before ending your trip.

You can also see each bike’s battery level directly on the map before choosing one, so you know exactly how much range you have left for your journey.

If you’re exploring with friends, Bolt also lets you rent up to four bikes at once from a single phone, perfect for small groups.

The cost to use Bolt bikes is €0 to unlock and €0.27 per minute, with payments processed automatically through the app once you finish your ride. Similar to Lime, you also have the option to get passes:

• 25 minutes (valid for 1 day): €3.75
• 60 minutes (valid for 1 day): €8.40
• 200 minutes (valid for 30 days): €17.99

Bike Paths and Routes in Seville

As of 2025, Seville has over 180 km of dedicated cycle lanes, making it one of Europe’s most bike-friendly cities.

The network was first developed between 2006 and 2011, with an investment of around 35 million euros. During that time, the city rapidly built more than 70 km of protected lanes, and it has continued to expand ever since as part of Seville’s 2030 sustainable transport plan.

In the city centre, the bike lanes are wide, clearly marked and easy to follow. Many are painted bright green and slightly raised from the road for extra comfort and safety. In Seville’s historic areas, you’ll notice some paths marked with small metal studs instead of paint, a solution to protect the old streets while still keeping cyclists and pedestrians safely separated.

The network connects almost every neighbourhood. The following route is a great way to explore the best of Seville by bike, offering an easy-to-follow loop that passes many of the city’s top attractions without major hills or traffic hurdles:

Recommended Cycle Route in Seville

• Start your ride in the historic centre, where you can see the Seville Cathedral and the Giralda Tower rising above the old town. From here, cycle past the Royal Alcazar and continue down Avenida de la Constitución, one of the city’s prettiest streets for cycling.

• Next, head towards Plaza de España, passing through the paths of María Luisa Park, one of the best spots in Seville to enjoy a calm, scenic ride surrounded by fountains and palm trees.

• From there, cross the river via the Puente de San Telmo or Triana Bridge to reach Triana, Seville’s colourful and traditional neighbourhood known for its ceramics and tapas bars. It’s a great area to stop for lunch or a quick drink by the river.

• Continue along the Guadalquivir River promenade, cycling north past the Torre del Oro (Golden Tower) and the Arenal district to enjoy the views of the water.

• To complete the loop, follow the riverside path back towards the Metropol Parasol (Setas de Sevilla) and end your route back in the old town.
