Seville Card and Pass

Seville is known as a laughing city with a bustling nightlife and a unique mix of architecture and traditions. Like many European capitals, Seville offers a range of sightseeing passes, allowing you to plan your trip down to the last detail and often even save a little money.

However, the presence of several Seville Card options can becomeconfusing,as it can be difficult to understand the contents of each pass and which one is the most convenient for the type of vacation you want to take.

If you are thinking of planning a trip to Seville but do not know which pass to choose, do not despair: in this article I will explain everything you need to know. Below you will find the characteristics of each pass, the price, directions on how to purchase it, and everything you need to help you decide which is the most convenient for you.

Seville's attractions

Despite being smaller than the world-famous Madrid and Barcelona, Seville is still one of the most well-known and visited cities in Spain. In fact, the "pearl of Andalusia" boasts some unique attractions that you absolutely cannot miss if you visit.

The first of these attractions is definitely the Alcàzar royal palace in the Mudejar style, that is, a mix of Arab and Spanish architecture. A high point not to be missed is the Cathedral de Santa Maria de la Sede, a unique church since it was built on a former mosque. Suffice it to say that its bell tower-known as the Giralda-was originally a minaret.

Of course, Seville also includes other points of interest, but the three I have mentioned are judged to be the three most important buildings in the city . This is precisely why the tourist passes I will list in a moment focus mainly on these attractions, which is why you can consider the Seville passes as a basic (and mostly complete) package for visiting the city in its main connotations.
Possibly to be enriched with other minor attractions that you wish to include in your itinerary for which you will buy standard tickets.

Passes and cards for Seville compared

There are three tourist cards available to tourists in Seville:

1. Seville Super Combi
2. Seville Pass
3. Andalusia Card
   

Let me warn you from the outset that the Andalusia Card does not include only Seville, but instead offers various attractions located throughout Andalusia. Therefore, if you are not interested in this type of "multi-city" vacation, know that this pass is not for you.

The (old) Seville Card no longer exists

A clarification is appropriate regarding the former Seville Card, a pass to Seville that was popular in the past but is no longer marketed. However, given that the term "Seville Card" still appears very often among the first Google results when doing searches on tourist passes, it is appropriate to clarify this right away.

Until a few years ago, the Seville card was a tourist pass that offered several options for visiting the city. As of today, however, the Seville card is no longer available for purchase and has given way to the three indicated passes, which I will explain in detail in a moment.

In case you still find offers regarding the Seville card, do not be fooled: the only passes currently available for purchase are the ones we will discuss in this article.

Do the passes to Seville include transportation?

No, none of Seville's passes also include public transportation, which must be purchased separately.

Only the Seville Pass also includes hop-on hop-off tourist bus service, which allows you to visit the city on a route of tourist stops while moving by bus, but still cannot replace traditional subway or bus service.

If you are interested, you will find a special chapter at the end of the guide in which I will give you further guidance on transportation, so as to make it as easy as possible for you to organize your trip.

Seville Card and Pass: which one is convenient?

Tourist passes for Seville are structured similarly to each other, covering the 2-3 main points of interest in the city.
The difference lies in the ancillary services, price and mode of use.
Andalusia Card, on the other hand, is an exception, being a pass for multiple cities in Andalusia (including Seville) and should therefore be evaluated with a different perspective.

Let us now review Seville's three tourist cards with more detailed info on how they work.

Seville Super Combi

The Seville Super Combi is the most classic of the three passes, as well as the cheapest. It allows you to visit the city's two most characteristic attractions, namely the Alcàzar Palace and the cathedral with the Giralda , and also offers an audio guide to tour the city.

Its model works like this: you decide on the dates you intend to use the pass and proceed with online booking. You will receive your tickets conveniently via e-mail, ready to use. On the day of your visit, simply show them at the entrance to the attractions to skip the line and gain direct access.

Since the Seville Super Combi gives you the opportunity to visit only two attractions, it is definitely convenient for a short vacation, perhaps of 1 or 2 days. It is ideal for a quick but non-superficial tour, as it allows you to see the most characteristic points of Seville without spending too much time in lines or around museums.

Buy the Seville Super Combi

What it includes

The Seville Super Combi includes admission to the Alcàzar, Seville Cathedral, and the Giralda Tower, all with the option to skip the line. In addition, the pass also includes the City Audio Guide App that you can conveniently download to your smartphone and listen to during your visit and while walking around the city.

The Seville Super Combi is also extremely flexible: in fact, the pass does not force you to visit all the attractions in one day. You simply book entries to the Alcàzar and the cathedral on different days, so you can manage your visit according to your needs and preferences.
If you wish, instead of the cathedral you can choose to visit the Aquarium instead. A certainly interesting destination, but not as unmissable as the cathedral.

In addition you have a 10% discount on all other attractions and tours in and around Seville. You can thus compose your itinerary as you like, saving on entrance fees.

Buy the Seville Super Combi

When is the Seville Super Combi worthwhile?

The Seville Super Combi is particularly convenient in case you decide to spend a short period in Seville, such as a weekend. Let me remind you that this pass can be used either over the course of a single day or over several days, which makes it adaptable even in the case of longer stays.

Also from an economic point of view, the Seville Super Combi definitely pays off. It saves you about 25 percent without tying you down to an overly demanding itinerary.

Buy the Seville Super Combi

Price and how to buy it

The Seville Super Combi pass costs €39.00.
Although there is a distinction between adults 14+, children and seniors over 65 at the time of purchase, the price is the same for everyone, with no reductions.
The differentiation is there because there may temporarily be active offers with reductions for children and seniors.

The Seville Super Combi pass is bought only online at the official Tiqets website, which is also available in Italian.
Once purchased, tickets are non-refundable.

Seville Pass

Another option available to you is the Seville Pass. This pass offers the same services as the Seville Super Combi (entry to the Alcàzar, cathedral and Giralda with skip-the-line + audio guide), plus the transfer from the airport or hop-on hop-off bus service.

Again, all you need to do is select the dates on which you intend to use the pass and download the e-ticket directly to your smartphone.
When purchasing you will choose whether to include the airport transfer, the 24-hour hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus tour, or the 48-hour tour (with surcharge).

Like the Seville Super Combi, the Seville Pass is also suitable for 1- or 2-day visits. However, since you again have the option of visiting attractions on different days, the pass can still be adapted to longer periods, allowing you some flexibility in organizing your itinerary.

In addition you have a 10% discount onother attractions in Seville or Andalusia, conveniently bookable online.

Buy the Sevilla Pass

What it includes

The Seville Pass includesadmission and skip-the-line to the Alcàzar Palace, the cathedral, and the Giralda Tower. As with the Seville Super Combi, the Seville Pass also includes the City Audio Guide App.

Plus you included a bus transfer from the airport to the city center, in fact a necessity for the many travelers who fly to beautiful Seville.

If, however, you prefer to get around by cab or otherwise arrive in the city by other means, the Seville Pass again presents itself as an excellent choice. In fact, as an alternative you can include the hop-on hop-off bus service, a real treat that will allow you to enjoy the cityscape to the fullest.

In addition to giving you access to two guided tours of the city, the bus also includes admission to several historic churches and monuments in Seville. Finally, you'll also get a complimentary drink at the Mercado de Lonja del Barranco-one of the city's most popular hangouts-and the Hard Rock Cafe.

As in the Seville Super Combi, we also find the 10% discount, applicable on virtually everything else you can do and see in the city or exploring the surrounding area. You can then add many more attractions to your trip, thus adapting to even beautiful rich itineraries, with a certain savings of 10%.

The Seville Pass offer is therefore extremely varied and has all the requirements to guarantee you a short but more historically and culturally in-depth visit to Seville.

When is the Seville Pass worthwhile?

I recommend the Seville Pass for those who want to visit Seville for a short time but still intend to explore the city as much as possible.

The addition of the hop-on hop-off bus service in fact is a valuable tool for those interested in the city's history and most important buildings. The tour bus allows you to "embrace" the city in stages, allowing you to see as much as possible while resting your legs and letting you fully enjoy Seville even with little time to spare.

In addition, again the Seville Pass is significantly cheaper than buying individual tickets for the attractions and the tour bus, saving you a minimum of 15 percent.

Buy the Sevilla Pass

Price and how to buy it

The Seville Pass costs €44.00 for adults. Again, there are conventions for children, the over-65s and students, but remember that the ticket is non-refundable.

Basically, transfer from the airport is included, while if you prefer the tour bus you have to add €18 for the 24-hour tour and €21 for the 48-hour tour.

You can purchase your pass only online at this site, which is also available in Italian.

Andalusia Card

As you might guess from the name, theAndalusia Card not only concerns the city of Seville, but also the most important tourist resorts in the whole of Andalusia, including those found at Granada and to Córdoba. So if you are not interested in an "extra Seville" vacation, know from the outset that you will not be able to fully enjoy the offer of this card.

As with the previous two cards, this one is also booked entirely online by selecting the date and time you wish to visit the attraction. After that, simply show your pass at the entrance to gain direct access thanks to the skip-the-line service.

Given the vast offerings included in the Andalusia Card, I would be lying to you if I said that you can take advantage of all the services within a weekend. Therefore, this card is particularly suitable for longer vacations, preferably 3 days and up. Also, since the pass includes entrances to the most important historical sites in Seville, Granada and Còrdoba, its purchase is particularly recommended for those who are also interested in the cultural aspect of the three cities.

Buy the Andalusia Card

What it includes

Let us now look in detail at what the Andalusia Card includes. In Seville, the ticket includes:

• One entrance to the Alcàzar palace and gardens, with skip-the-line service.
• One admission to the Cathedral and Giralda, with skip-the-line (optional, alternatively there is the Cathedral of Cordoba)
• The City Audio Guide App of Seville downloadable to your smartphone, containing information on over one hundred points of interest in the city.

In Granada includes:

• One entrance to the Alhambra and Nasrid palaces with skip-the-line service.
• An entrance to the Generalife Gardens, the Palace of Charles V and the Alhambra Museum.
• Granada's City Audio Guide App downloadable to your smartphone, containing information on more than twenty points of interest in the city and an interactive map.

As anticipated, as an alternative to Seville Cathedral you can instead visit the Mosque-Cathedral of Còrdoba, with guided tour and skip-the-line service.

This broad offering is definitely the strength of the Andalusia Card, which includes all the requirements for organizing a tour of Andalusia's major cities.

The weak point, however, is certainly the lack of a transportation service. Since you have to visit three different cities to take advantage of this card, you should keep in mind that it will be up to you to find a solution to move between the three cities. At the end of the article you will find some tips on how to solve this problem

Buy the Andalusia Card

When does the Andalusia Card pay off?

From an economic point of view, there are two things to keep in mind. Certainly the Andalusia Card allows you to visit the characteristic sites of as many as three cities in Andalusia, with considerable savings when you compare the price of individual tickets.

In addition to the lack of a transportation service, another limitation of this pass is that it offers a tour of the whole of Andalusia but does not go into detail. In other words, the Andalusia Card is suitable for exploratory vacations that do not aim to go into detail about the individual destination, unless it is used as a good base to which tickets for the other things you want to see can then be added.

For these reasons, this pass is ideal for those who want to take a slightly longer vacation, 3 days and up, with the intention of taking a touch and go throughout Andalusia rather than staying static in one city.

Buy the Andalusia Card

Price and how to buy it

The Andalusia Card costs €66.00, with reductions for children and the over-65s, and is bought exclusively online, where it is also available in Italian.
Remember that after buying it, the ticket cannot be refunded.

At the following site you can find all the prices and directions for making the purchase.

Seville tourist passes and transportation

Although you can get around easily on foot, Seville has an excellent transportation system that will allow you to get around both within the city and throughout Andalusia.

The first option for travel within the city is the subway, a service that Seville has had for some years now. There is only one line, which makes it very easy to use and minimizes the risk of getting lost. The price of the ticket varies according to the route you want to take, and there are also hourly tickets, so you can have additional savings. On this site you can find all the information you need: https://www.metro-sevilla.es/horarios-y-tarifas.

Another viable option for travel within Seville are the buses and streetcars. In fact, the city has a highly developed system for getting anywhere, including a bus line that connects the center with the airport. For your convenience, I leave here the website, where you can find schedules, fares and routes: www.tussam.es.

Finally, in case you need to move from Seville to Granada or Còrdoba, the best way is definitely by train. In fact, every day there are several lines that connect the three cities, which is very convenient in case you want to buy the Andalusia Card and organize a larger itinerary.
