==Transport==

===Bus===
Seville is served by the TUSSAM [http://www.tussam.es/ (Transportes Urbanos de Sevilla)] [[transit bus|bus]] network which runs buses throughout the city. The Consorcio de Transportes de Sevilla communicates by bus with all the satellite towns of Seville.

Two bus stations serve transportation between surrounding areas and other cities: ''Plaza de Armas'' Station, with destinations north and west, and ''Prado de San Sebastián'' Station, covering routes to the south and east. ''Plaza de Armas'' station has direct bus lines to many Spanish cities as well as [[Lisbon]], Portugal.

===Metro===

The [[Seville Metro]] ('Metro de Sevilla' in Spanish) is a light metro system serving the city of Seville and its [[metropolitan area]]. The system is completely independent of other rail networks and street traffic, ensuring a dedicated right-of-way for its trains. All stations are equipped with [[platform screen doors]], enhancing passenger safety and operational efficiency.

The Seville Metro was the sixth metro system to be constructed in Spain, following the networks in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, and [[Palma de Mallorca]]. It was designed to provide a modern, efficient, and high-capacity transit solution for Seville and its growing suburbs.

As of 2024, the Seville Metro consists of a single line, the line [[File:L1 Metro de Sevilla.svg|16px|link=Seville Metro line 1]], which features 21 stations and connects key areas of the city with neighboring municipalities of [[Mairena del Aljarafe]], [[San Juan de Aznalfarache]] and [[Dos Hermanas]].

Line [[File:L3 Metro de Sevilla.svg|16px|link=Seville Metro line 3]] is currently under construction, and once completed, it will enhance connectivity by linking northern and southern parts of the city. Lines 2 and 4 remain in the planning phase.

In 2024, the Seville Metro transported more than 22 million passengers,<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.globalvia.com/es/noticia/metro-de-sevilla-supera-los-22-millones-de-pasajeros-en-2024/ |title=Metro de Sevilla supera los 22 millones de pasajeros en 2024 |language=es |trans-title=Seville Metro exceeds 22 million passengers in 2024 |website=Globalvia.com |access-date=8 March 2025 |date=13 February 2025}}</ref> making it the fifth-largest metro system in Spain in terms of annual ridership. It plays a crucial role in reducing traffic congestion and promoting sustainable urban mobility in the Andalusian capital.

===Tram===
[[File:Sevilla-3-16_(48040473632).jpg|thumb|[[MetroCentro (Seville)|MetroCentro]]]]
[[MetroCentro (Seville)|MetroCentro]] is a surface tramway serving the centre of the city. It began operating in October 2007.

The service has just five stops: Plaza Nueva, Archivo de Indias, Puerta de Jerez, Prado de San Sebastián and San Bernardo, all as part of ''Phase I'' of the project. It is expected to be extended to Santa Justa [[Alta Velocidad Española|AVE]] station, including four new stops: San Francisco Javier, Eduardo Dato, Luis de Morales, and Santa Justa. This extension was postponed although the City Council had made expanding the metro lines a priority.{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}}

===Train===
The [[Seville-Santa Justa railway station]] is served by the [[AVE]] [[high-speed rail]] system, operated by the Spanish state-owned rail company [[Renfe]]. A five-line commuter rail service (''[[Cercanías Sevilla|Cercanías]]'') joins the city with the Metropolitan area. Seville is on the Red Ciudades AVE, a net created with Seville connected to 17 major cities of Spain with [[high-speed rail]].

Although Seville is close to the Portuguese city of [[Faro, Portugal|Faro]], it is not possible to cross the border by train.<ref>{{citation |url=https://www.travelinho.com/en/travel/from-seville-to-faro#train |title=Is there any train from Seville to Faro, Portugal? |website=Travelinho.com |access-date=25 September 2018 |archive-date=25 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180925215841/https://www.travelinho.com/en/travel/from-seville-to-faro#train |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Bicycle===
[[File:Sevici.jpg|thumb|[[Sevici]] Bicycle station]]
The Sevici [[community bicycle program]] has integrated bicycles into the public transport network. Bicycles are available for hire around the city at low cost, and green curb-raised bicycle lanes can be seen on most major streets. The number of people using bicycles as a means of transport in Seville has increased substantially in recent years, multiplying tenfold from 2006 to 2011.<ref>{{cite web|title=Seville goes Dutch|url=http://lcc.org.uk/pages/seville-goes-dutch|publisher=London Cycling Campaign|access-date=22 May 2014|archive-date=22 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140522221305/http://lcc.org.uk/pages/seville-goes-dutch}}</ref> {{As of|2015}}, an estimated 9 percent of all mechanized trips in the city (and 5.6 percent of all trips including those on foot) are made by bicycle.<ref>{{cite web|title=Research on the use of bicycles in the city of Seville, 2013|url=http://bicicletas.us.es/?page_id=1341|publisher=SIBUS|access-date=22 May 2014|archive-date=22 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140522220650/http://bicicletas.us.es/?page_id=1341|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The city council signed a contract with the multinational corporation [[JCDecaux]], an outdoor advertising company. The public bicycle rental system is financed by a local advertising operator in return for the city signing over a 10-year licence to exploit citywide billboards. The overall scheme is called Cyclocity<ref>{{cite web|title=The self-service bicycle sheme by JCDecaux|url=http://en.cyclocity.com/Cities/Cyclocity-in-the-world/Cyclocity-cities|publisher=JCDecaux|access-date=9 February 2013|date=20 December 2012|archive-date=4 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140504143349/http://en.cyclocity.com/Cities/Cyclocity-in-the-world/Cyclocity-cities|url-status=dead}}</ref> by [[JCDecaux]], but each city's system is branded under an individual name.

As of 2022, some companies in the [[e-bike]] [[community bicycle program]] industry such as [[Lime (transportation company)]] and [[Ridemovi]] started working in the city,<ref>{{cite web|title=Sevilla estrena un servicio de alquiler de 2.000 bicicletas eléctricas por toda la ciudad|date=2 February 2022 |url=https://www.diariodesevilla.es/sevilla/bicicletas-electricas-Sevilla-servicio-alquiler-Ayuntamiento-Lime-Ridemovi_0_1653135072.html|publisher=Diario de Sevilla}}</ref> thanks to the new parking spots made by the [[City Council of Seville]]

===Airport===
{{Main|San Pablo Airport}}
[[File:Viento cruzado I (4761298309).jpg|thumb|right|Landing on the San Pablo Airport]]
The San Pablo Airport is the main airport for Seville and is [[Andalusia]]'s second busiest airport, after [[Pablo Ruiz Picasso International Airport|Málaga]]'s, and first in cargo. The airport handled 7,544,357 passengers and just under 9,891 tonnes of cargo in 2019.<ref name="stats">{{cite web|url=http://www.aena.es/csee/Satellite?pagename=Estadisticas/Home |title=AENA – airport statistics |website=Aena.es |access-date=6 August 2021}}</ref> It has one [[Airport terminal|terminal]] and one [[runway]].

It is one of many bases for the Spanish low-cost carrier [[Vueling Airlines|Vueling]], and from November 2010 [[Ryanair]] based aircraft at the airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ryanair.com/es/novedades/ryanair-anuncia-su-base-numero-44-en-sevilla|title=Ryanair anuncia su base número 44 en Sevilla|website=Ryanair.com|date=23 July 2010}}</ref>{{update inline|date=August 2018}} In addition, Ryanair opened its first [[aircraft maintenance]] facility in Spain at Seville Airport in 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://centreforaviation.com/news/ryanair-opens-its-first-mro-facility-in-spain-at-seville-airport-947032|title=Ryanair opens its first MRO facility in Spain at Seville Airport|website=centreforaviation.com|date=17 October 2019}}</ref>

This enabled low-cost direct flights to several Spanish cities, as well as to the neighbor country of Portugal with weekly flights to Porto<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.travelinho.com/en/travel/from-lisbon-to-seville#via-porto |title=Lisbon to Seville via Porto |website=Travelinho.com |access-date=22 December 2018 |archive-date=23 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181223030255/https://www.travelinho.com/en/travel/from-lisbon-to-seville#via-porto |url-status=dead }}</ref> and to other European cities.

===Port===
{{Main|Port of Seville}}
Seville is the only commercial river port in Spain and the only inland city in the country where cruise ships can arrive in the historical centre. On 21 August 2012, the [[Muelle de las Delicias]], controlled by the Port Authority of Seville, hosted the cruise ship [[Azamara Journey]] for two days, the largest ship ever to visit the town. This vessel belongs to the shipping company [[Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.|Royal Caribbean]] and can accommodate up to 700 passengers.<ref>[http://www.tuttocruceros.com/blog/el-puerto-de-sevilla-acogera-el-mayor-crucero-de-su-historia/ El Puerto de Sevilla acogerá el mayor crucero de su historia] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130719050054/http://www.tuttocruceros.com/blog/el-puerto-de-sevilla-acogera-el-mayor-crucero-de-su-historia/ |date=19 July 2013 }} Tuttocruceros.com 25 June 2012</ref>

===Roads===
Seville has two ring road highways, the SE-20 and the SE-30.  However, they do not form a complete controlled-access highway around the city.  

The SE-30 connects with the most important [[autovía]] of southwestern Spain, the [[Autovía A-4|A-4]], which directly links the city with [[Cádiz]], [[Córdoba, Andalusia|Cordoba]] and [[Madrid]]. The SE-30 and the A-4 together form a controlled-access ring road around two-thirds of the city. 

The northern third is encircled by regular arterial roads with [[Intersection (road)|at-trade intersections]], such as the SE-20 and the Ronda Urbana Norte. 

Another [[autovía]], the [[Autovía A-92|A-92]], links the city with [[Osuna]], [[Antequera]], [[Granada]], [[Guadix]] and [[Almeria]]. The [[Autovía A-49|A-49]] links Seville with [[Huelva]] and the [[Algarve]] in the south of [[Portugal]].
