Seville Hop On Hop Off Bus – Guide and Tickets

Seville Bus Tours: Routes, Stops and Travel Tips

The Seville Hop On Hop Off bus is one of the easiest ways to see the city’s top landmarks on one flexible sightseeing route. You’ll get unlimited rides, onboard audio guides and even free walking tours included, so we consider it a great option for first-time visitors who want to explore Seville comfortably and at their own pace.

Seville Hop on Hop Off Bus Overview

The most popular hop-on hop-off service in Seville is run by the international brand City Sightseeing, whose bright red double-deckers you’ll spot all around the historic centre.

City Sightseeing operates a single route covering 14 stops across the city’s main attractions. The full loop takes about 75 minutes if you stay on board, and buses run roughly every 30 to 40 minutes, with the first departure being at 10:00AM and last one at 9:00PM. Onboard you’ll find a multilingual audio guide plus free extras such as a route map and in many cases discounts for museums, restaurants and other attractions.

There is another hop-on hop-off provider in Seville (Sevirama), whose buses are green. Having taken both services, and based on the broader coverage, included extras, and more consistent positive reviews, we prefer the red City Sightseeing buses.

How the Seville Sightseeing Bus Works

The Seville sightseeing bus runs on a loop that covers all the main attractions across the city. Several buses operate throughout the day, so you usually won’t wait more than 30 minutes for the next one. You can even track their location in real time using the official app, which makes it easy to plan where and when to hop on.

You can get off at any stop, explore at your own pace, and then hop back on to continue your tour. It’s a relaxed and flexible way to get around, almost like having your own driver, but with an audio guide sharing fun facts and stories about Seville along the way.

All the buses are equipped with air conditioning, which is a huge plus during the hot summer months in Seville. When you first board, you’ll be given a headset to use for the day so you can listen to the commentary in your preferred language. Each time you rejoin the tour, simply scan your ticket. Tickets are valid for 24 or 48 hours, depending on the option you choose.

Benefits of the Seville Sightseeing Bus

Using the Seville sightseeing bus is a convenient and flexible way to explore the city, especially if we are short on time or want an easy overview of the main attractions.

The route includes most of Seville’s highlights such as the Seville Cathedral, the Royal Alcazar and the Plaza de España. It also passes through some of the city’s most charming neighbourhoods like Triana and Macarena.

This type of sightseeing bus can be particularly helpful if we are short on time and have only one day in Seville, if we are travelling with children, have mobility issues or if our hotel is located far from the main sights and we expect to rely on public transport a lot. It is also a great option during Seville’s intense summer heat, when walking long distances can be difficult or if we simply prefer to move around comfortably while listening to the audio commentary and learning about the city’s history.

That said, Seville’s historic centre is quite compact, so if you enjoy walking and have enough time, it is worth checking the Seville City Bus tour first to decide whether it is the best value for our trip. So, in summary, in our opinion:

When the Seville City Bus Tour is Worth It

• Ideal if you’re short on time or only have one day in Seville.
  
• Convenient for families with children or travellers with mobility issues.
  
• A good option during Seville’s intense summer heat.
  
• Useful if your hotel is outside the city centre and you want to avoid relying on public transport or taxis.
  
• If you’d like to listen to audio commentary with insights into Seville’s history and landmarks while exploring the city.

When It May Not Be Worth It

• Less valuable if you enjoy walking and have several days to explore.

How to Buy Tickets for the Seville Hop-on Hop-off Bus

Tickets are usually available at the main stops, where staff are stationed throughout the day. You can also find stands selling tickets near major attractions, although these sometimes charge a small premium.

We recommend booking online in advance to secure your ticket and choose from three different options. It also saves time and avoids the sales conversation at the ticket stands, which can be a bit intimidating sometimes.
