Seville is the perfect size city for walking around, with virtually no hills. There is a wealth of things to see and do, all within comfortable walking distance from the centre. For those who wish to use transport, there are several alternatives:-

• Local buses - you can either pay around 1 euro per trip on entering the bus (try and have small change) or buy a "Bonobus" ticket, 10 journeys for around 6 euros. These tickets are available form cigarette kiosks called "Tabacos" and other outlets
• Tram - this connects San Bernado train station and El Prado bus station to Plaza Nueva in the very centre. Eventually it will be extend to Santa Justa train station. You can use your Bonobus tickt for the tram as well
• Metro - this connects the centre of the city, Puerta Jerez, with the Aljarafe and Nervion, useful if you are in a hotel in these areas but otherwise not a great benefit for visitors to the city
• Longer distance buses - ideal for visiting some of the fantastic towns outside of Seville, such as Carmona with its Roman ruins. The main bus station is close to the centre, a short walk north of the Royal Palace gardens, just off Avenida de Carlos V. Please note though that there is another major bus station near the Plaza Armas for buses to Portugal and other major destinations
• Taxis - fares are strictly controlled in the official city taxis. You can ask a driver what the fare will be to a given destination, and he will pull out a chart from which he or she can calculate the figure virtually to the cent. Meters are not so common. Fares increase as normal for journeys in the early hours of the morning. Ask for a receipt to make sure you are charged the correct amount
• Traditional horse and cart - aimed at the tourists. Check the official rates before boarding and be prepared to say no if the price is too high
• River boat - the are tourist cruises designed to give a different perspective on the city. Boats leave every 30 minutes from the Torre Del Oro
• Trains - the main station, Santa Justa, is situated out of the centre, so trains are of limited use. There are local trains (Cercanias) that serve districts around the centre
• Bicycle - there is an extensive system of cycle lanes and a city-wide rental system sponsored by the local authority. Bikes are available from various locations and can be picked up at one point and dropped off at another. There is a machine at each rental point with instructions in English as well. You will need your credit card in order to rent. See http://www.sevici.es/ for more details. If you want to get to really know the city by bike, please take a look at our Seville Bike Tour
