Best time to visit Seville

Seville boasts a scorching Mediterranean climate, with summers reaching soaring temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. In Andalusia, the winters are delightfully mild.

However, for an ideal visit to Seville, consider the enchanting springtime. As spring unfolds, the city comes alive with fragrant jasmine and blooming orange trees, painting the streets in hues of nature's splendor. Avoid the scorching heat and embrace the delightful beauty of Seville in the charming spring season.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Seville

1. Tour Casa de Pilatos

Built in the 16th century, this beautiful Andalusian palace is a mix of Italian Renaissance and Spanish Mudejar styles. It houses a collection of 16th and 19th-century paintings, as well as a sculpture garden of Greek mythological figures. It’s also the permanent residence of the Dukes of Medinaceli (a hereditary title in Spain) and boasts the world’s largest collection of azulejo (a traditional glazed tile artwork). Numerous films have also been shot here, including Lawrence of Arabia, Kingdom of Heaven , and Knight and Day to name a few. Admission is 12 EUR.

2. Explore Parque de Maria Luisa

Located just in front of the iconic Plaza de España, this 100-acre public park offers the opportunity to browse gardens, patios, and sculptures. The park is Seville’s main greenspace and is situated near the Guadalquivir River. Created in 1911, it’s a relaxing place to lounge, picnic, and people watch. Don’t miss the monument to Miguel de Cervantes, who wrote Don Quixote (the monument used to include statues of Don Quixote on his horse and Sancho Panza on his donkey but they have since disappeared).

3. Visit the Royal Alcázar

The Royal Alcázar of Seville (also known as al-Qasr al-Muriq) is the oldest residential palace in Europe still in use today. Dating to the 14th century, it’s an important example of Moorish architecture. There are giant galleries, ornate rooms, and beautiful gardens. The palace was built for the Christian king Peter of Castile atop a Muslim fort after Christian armies reconquered the city in 1248. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. General admission is 14.50 EUR. Free admission is available on Monday afternoons/evenings. Check the website for specific times.

4. Walk through the historic Jewish Quarter

Seville’s Jewish Quarter is filled with small winding streets and is generally regarded as the most charming part of the city. The area gets pretty crowded but there are numerous small alleys and streets to explore where you can escape the crowds. Don’t miss this part of town.

5. Take a food tour

To learn more about the history and culture behind Seville’s cuisine, take a food tour. It’s the best way to eat your way around the city sampling the best eats Seville has to offer while learning what makes the cuisine unique. Devour Tours runs in-depth food tours led by expert local guides that will introduce you to the food culture and its history. If you’re a foodie like me who wants to learn more about the history and culture behind each dish, this tour is for you! Tours start at 89 EUR.

Other Things to See and Do in Seville

1. visit the catedral of sevilla.

This Roman Catholic cathedral dominates much of Seville’s skyline. Surrounded by Andalusian orange trees, the Cathedral (also known as the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Sea) is one of Seville’s top tourist attractions. Lines can get long, partially because hours are limited around church services, so get there early. While you can just admire the stunning design and stained glass from outside, the Cathedral is where Christopher Columbus is buried, so it’s worth going inside. The bell tower also offers a panoramic view of the city. Admission is 11 EUR if you purchase online and 12 EUR in person. The audio guide costs 5 EUR (4 EUR if you use the app).

2. Check out Plaza de España

One of Seville’s most picturesque spots, Plaza de España was built at the northern edge of the Parque de María Luísa in the 1920s for the Ibero-American Exposition. The unique building mixes Baroque, Renaissance, and Moorish architectural styles, and there’s a small canal with Venetian-like bridges and gondolas. The Plaza has gotten a lot of attention in the past few years because it has served as a backdrop in film and TV, such as Star Wars and Game of Thrones . The murals along the sweeping arc of the building depict the various regions and municipalities of Spain. It also has benches that depict the 49 provinces of Spain in ceramic tiles. Admission is free.

3. Visit the Iglesia de San Isidoro

While this church is less popular than the Catedral de Sevilla, the Iglesia de San Isidoro is considered one of Seville’s most impressive churches. The 14th-century church was built on top of a former Arabic fortification and its fusion of Gothic and Mudejar styles is a common example of unique architecture in Andalucía. The intricate design makes this worth a visit. Admission is free but be sure to dress respectfully as it is a place of worship.

4. Enjoy some contemporary art

The Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (CAAC) is a contemporary art museum located just across the river from the city center. Housed in a former Franciscan monastery that dates to the 15th century (and was later a ceramic tile factory), today the museum hosts a collection of Andalusian artists. There are rotating exhibitions so check the website to see what’s on during your visit. Admission is 3.01 EUR, though there is free entry Tuesday-Friday from 7pm-9pm and on Saturdays from 11am-9pm

5. Learn about Spain’s colonial history

The General Archives of the Indies is a 16th-century building and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the Spanish Renaissance style, it contains a large collection of documents and artifacts related to Spain’s colonization of the New World. Highlights include the personal diary of Columbus and the Treaty of Tordesillas, which divided the New World between Spain and Portugal. Admission is free.

6. Visit the Flamenco Museum

Flamenco music and dance is an important cultural element of southern Spanish culture, and the Flamenco Museum in Seville is a great way to learn more about this unique style of performance. The museum features many intricately designed flamenco dresses and illuminates the history behind the dance’s origins. Admission to the museum is 10 EUR while live flamenco shows in the museum’s theater are 25 EUR.

7. Admire fine art

The Museo de Bellas Artes is a fine arts museum with works from the Middle Ages through to the 20th century. The museum lies in the Macarena neighborhood in a building that dates to 1594. Two floors in the building are full of paintings, sculptures, furniture, and crafts — many by artists from Seville or Andalucía. Admission is 1.50 EUR and free if you’re an EU citizen.

8. Take a Spanish class

Seville is a popular study abroad location for international students and there are a number of language schools catering to students from around the world. You can take Spanish courses for just a single week or longer. Many students choose Seville to study because of the big student population of the city, the affordability of the city, and the unique Andalusian culture. The CLIC language school offers a variety of courses for any number of weeks or months, plus affordable housing for those that want to stay with other students or in a homestay. A one-week intensive Spanish language course at CLIC costs as little as 205 EUR, though discounts are available depending upon a package or multi-week course.

9. Take in the view from the top of a mushroom

This large sculptural platform in the Plaza de la Encarnación used to be a car park but, in 2011, it was transformed into a massive public art project called Las Setas De Sevilla, or the Metropol Parasol. Resembling mushrooms (or more like a beehive in my opinion), the structure provides shade to the plaza below and there are two 85-foot panoramic platforms where you can take in the view. Admission to the platform is 10 EUR.

10. Hang out in Alameda

The best nightlife spot in Seville is in and around the Alameda de Hercules. The large, open-air plaza attracts many students and creative artist types who relax here drinking, playing music, and enjoying any of the tapas bars and outdoor seating that line the mall. Many of the restaurants and bars in the area offer live music and great deals on food & drinks too.

11. Relax on the Guadalquivir River

The first trip around the world originated in Seville when Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan sailed out along the Guadalquivir River in 1519. The river was the main maritime route for Atlantic traffic for over 200 years, making Seville the mercantile center of the western world in the 16th century. These days you can enjoy rowing and canoeing on the river or just simply relax by the shore and take in the scene.

Seville Travel Costs

There are a few campgrounds outside the city, some offering private cabins with swimming pools for 40 EUR. For those with a tent, a basic plot for one person costs 5 EUR.

Budget hotel prices – Budget hotels cost 40-60 EUR per night, though prices are slightly higher (around 50-100 EUR per night) in peak tourist season and around Easter. Continental breakfast is usually included, as are basic amenities like TV and Wi-Fi.

Airbnb is available here as well, with private rooms starting at 30 EUR per night (but averaging double that). An entire apartment goes for at least 70 EUR per night though prices double if you don’t book early. Many include air-conditioning — useful to have for the hot summer season.

Food – Spain has a strong food culture, where meals can last hours and dinner often isn’t served until after 8pm. Each region in the country has its own local dishes and food culture, and Andalucía is no exception. Owing to its location on the coast, seafood is huge in this region, including shellfish and pescaito frito (fried fish). Gazpacho is also super common here, as is Iberian ham. Don’t miss trying some of the local sherry too (William Shakespeare apparently loved it).

You can eat very cheap in Seville. Tapas bars offer great deals and a number of takeaway stands with falafel, shawarma, or other late-night snacks can be found for under 10 EUR. Most tapas bars offer small plates for anywhere from 5-10 EUR depending upon the type of dish.

If you want to splurge, there are many nicer tapas restaurants with more elaborate meals and innovative takes on typical Andalusian-style foods. Mid-range tapas restaurants serve small plates between 7-15 EUR and, again, two or three plates is usually enough food for one person.

For a mid-range meal including an appetizer and drink, expect to pay at least 20 EUR. For cheap fast food (think McDonald’s), a combo meal costs around 8 EUR.

Beer costs as little as 2-3 EUR. A glass of sangria or wine costs 5 EUR. A latte/cappuccino is around 1.50 EUR while bottled water is under 1 EUR.

If you plan on cooking your own meals, expect to spend about 40-45 EUR for a week’s worth of groceries. This gets you basic staples like pasta, rice, seasonal produce, and some meat.

Backpacking Seville Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Seville, expect to spend around 50 EUR per day. This budget covers a hostel dorm, cooking most of your meals, limiting your drinking, taking public transportation, and doing mostly free activities like relaxing in the park and seeing some of the churches. Add 10-15 EUR per day to your budget if you plan on drinking or partying a lot.

On a mid-range budget of about 135 EUR per day, you can stay in a private Airbnb or private hostel room, eat out at cheap restaurants for most meals, enjoy a few drinks, take the occasional taxi to get around, and do more paid activities like and museum visits or Spanish classes.

On a “luxury” budget of 250 EUR or more per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out anywhere you want, drink as much as you’d like, take more taxis, and do as many guided tours as you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get an idea of how much you need to budget daily. Keep in mind these are daily averages – some days you spend more, some days you spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in EUR.

Seville Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Food, drinks, and tours can add up in Seville if you aren’t watching your spending. This is one of the more expensive cities in Spain. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to take advantage of free things to do here. Here’s how to save money in Seville:

• Get the Tarjeta TurÍstica pass – If you plan on using the bus or tram often, get this pass. A one-day pass costs 5 EUR and provides unlimited access to all public transport. A three-day pass costs 10 EUR.
• Visit the Royal Alcázar on Monday – The Royal Alcázar has free admission on Mondays, so plan accordingly to save money. Specific times vary by season so check the website for an up-to-date schedule.
• Buy your own alcohol – While drinks are hardly expensive at bars and restaurants in Seville (and in Spain as a whole), you can save yourself a lot of money if you buy your own beer and wine. Many locals buy their own bottles and drink in public at the Alameda de Hercules in the evenings, taking advantage of the street performers, buskers, and musicians that crowd the plaza on weekends.
• Stay with a local – Couchsurfing is a great way to save money on accommodation while also getting some insight from a local. While hostels aren’t too expensive in the city, this is still the best way to save money and deepen your travel experience.
• Go on a free walking tour – Like most of Spain, there are many opportunities to take advantage of free walking tours. Seville has a number and many depart from Plaza del Salvador. You just need to tip your guide. My favorite is New Europe. Just remember to tip your guide at the end!
• Visit the markets for groceries & cheap tapas – The Triana Market is one of the main food markets in Seville and has many fruit and vegetable vendors. There are food markets in each of the major Seville neighborhoods, and sometimes the smaller ones outside the main tourist trails even have small, local restaurants with great food deals. The Mercado de Feria is a favorite. Buying snacks, small meals, and groceries at the local neighborhood markets can cut down on your food budget.
• Bring a water bottle – The tap water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Seville

Seville has a ton of hostel choices for any budget. My recommended places to stay are the following:

• Triana Hostel
• Black Swan Hostel
• Oasis Backpakcers Palace
• Sevilla Kitsch Hostel Art
• Onefam Catedral

How to Get Around Seville

Public transportation – There is an extensive bus network that operates in Seville and can help you get from one edge of the city to another. Tickets can be bought on board and cost 1.40 EUR per trip. A one-day travel card, the Tarjeta TurÍstica, costs 5 EUR (10 EUR for a 3-day card).

Seville’s tram system connects to some of the further out areas of the city (and it’s air-conditioned). The tram is part of the same public bus system so tickets are the same price.

Bicycle Rental – Bike rentals are a great way to save money while seeing the sights from a new perspective. Rentals in Seville cost around 15 EUR per day.

Taxis – Taxis start at 2.50 EUR, with normal tariff being 1 EUR per additional kilometer. Skip them if you can as the prices add up fast!

Ridesharing – Uber is available in Seville but it won’t save you a ton so skip it and stick to the bus.

When to Go to Seville

Like most of southern Spain in Andalucía, Seville gets a lot of sunshine and has hot summers. I think the best time to visit is between March and May when crowds haven’t peaked but the weather is still warm and sunny.

The Easter season is especially popular in Seville because of the famous Feria (a large fair), which attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists and religious pilgrims. Part of the Semana Santa holy week, it’s a beautiful time to visit because of the colorful dresses and the many street activities and parades, but it does get crowded and expensive during the holy week.

In the summer (June-August), the weather is hot and sunny, with daily highs reaching upwards of 38°C (100°F). While the city is lively during the summer, it can be very taxing to explore in the heat.

The winter months (December-February) offer more comfortable temperatures, usually around 7-18°C (45-65°F). The city is much quieter, making it a nice time to visit if you want to beat the crowds and don’t mind some chilly days.

How to Stay Safe in Seville

Like most Spanish cities, Seville has a problem with pickpocketing and petty theft. The area around the Alameda de Hercules, a popular nightlife spot, was once very seedy and rife with crime and drug use, but that’s been cleaned up a lot in the past decade. Still, watch your bags when going out at night and avoid dark, empty streets if alone. Always keep an eye on your possessions when on public transportation as well.

If you go out at night, only bring the money you need and leave the rest locked up in your accommodation.

Tourist scams are prevalent as well so keep an eye out for groups of kids trying to distract you, as they’re probably trying to take your money. Additionally, be wary of people offering to carry your luggage. They may try to charge you a large fee.

When dining, keep your bags and belongings close and secure (especially when outside). Don’t leave your things on the table when going up to order. They can disappear quickly.

Read more about common travel scams to avoid here if you’re worried about getting ripped off.

Solo female travelers should feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (always keep an eye on your drink at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.)

If you do experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct and make extra copies of your important documents.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Seville: Embracing the Future as a Smart Destination by European Capital & Green Pioneer of Smart Tourism

Explore how these capitals lead the way in green innovation, smart mobility, and sustainable travel practices, setting an example for destinations worldwide.

The innovative and vibrant city in Spain

Welcome to Seville, Spain , the vibrant city that is leading the charge towards a sustainable and digitally immersive tourism experience in Europe. As one of the European Capitals of Smart Tourism in 2023 , alongside Pafos, Cyprus, Seville has been recognized by the European Commission for its ground-breaking initiatives that aim to enhance the sustainability and accessibility of its tourist offer. Located in the captivating region of Andalucía, Seville has set the bar high when it comes to redefining the way we explore and enjoy our travels. With a perfect blend of rich history, architectural highlights, and a progressive mindset, this city promises an unforgettable experience for every visitor.

Seville’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its innovative initiatives. From eco-friendly transportation options to renewable energy practices, the city is at the forefront of creating a greener environment. By embracing sustainable tourism practices and the city’s motto of #SharingIsSmart, Seville is not only preserving its natural beauty but also inspiring other destinations to follow.

But sustainability is just the tip of the iceberg. Seville is also a trailblazer in embracing digital innovation to enhance the tourist experience. The city has harnessed cutting-edge technology to provide visitors with a seamless and immersive journey. From augmented reality tours that bring historical landmarks to life to interactive mobile applications that guide you through the city’s hidden gems, Seville has transformed the way we explore and engage with our surroundings.

Seville offers a plethora of experiences that cater to all interests and preferences. Take a stroll through the enchanting streets of the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, marvel at the Mudejar-style architecture, indulge in the lively atmosphere of the Triana district, or enjoy the most bohemian area in the Northern part of the city. Read on to learn more about the Andalucian city’s initiatives and make the most of your visit.

SEVILLE ACCESSIBLE APP

Love to plan for and predict the future? The Seville Accessible app helps those with limited mobility to plan their route and avoid any obstacles they may encounter while exploring the sights. Specifically, the app has analysed and integrated 22,000 elements in 781 kilometres of routes into its map.

Users can plot the start and end point of their trip and filter based on their mobility needs and preferred mode of transport. The app will then generate an itinerary to facilitate your mobility around the city – taking away any unnecessary stress so that you can enjoy this vibrant destination! Additionally, the app is a live tool, so users can report incidents detected on the journey and update the information to improve the user experience.

GO AGAINST THE FLOW: TOURISM INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Need a break from the crowds? As part of its Tourism Intelligence System (SIT) , Seville has a project to analyse and divert  tourist flows from the Santa Cruz neighbourhood,  one of the most visited areas in the city. One of Seville’s first challenges when designing a smart tourism model included decongesting the historic city centre, where the main heritage and cultural attractions are concentrated.

The impact of high volumes of tourists in the neighbourhood has negative effects on the coexistence with residents, so a data-driven project was created to improve the quality of life of the neighbours and experience of the visitors. Visitors can discover other historical attractions and hidden gems while ensuring that their visit limits disturbance. In Seville’s summer heat, hours of crowds are the last thing you’d want!

Visit Seville, where innovation, sustainability, and unforgettable experiences await.

The bustling streets of beautiful, historic Seville offer a visual feast of ancient and modern cuisine, culture and craft

When the British novelist Laurie Lee arrived in Seville in 1935, he encountered a place that exceeded his wildest expectations. For the young traveller, then 21 years old, “the city itself was dazzling – a creamy crustation of flower-banked houses fanning out from each bank of the river,” he later recalled.

Then, as now, Seville was a working city. While in past times this was seen most obviously in the steamboats floating down the Guadalquivir River, stuffed to the brim with oranges, today Seville bustles with an ecosystem of startups, SMEs, restaurants and hotels. Underpinned by state-of-the-art infrastructure, these businesses intermingle with a thriving tourist industry that makes Seville one of southern Spain’s premier destinations: some two million visitors arrive here each year, eager to experience the Moorish architecture of the Royal Alcázar Palace and the hyper-modern Metropol Parasol while sampling the city’s rich cultural and culinary scene.

These aren’t your typical tourists – key to Seville’s success has been its prioritising of premium travellers’ economic contribution to the wider benefit of the city. Best of all are those visitors eager to make new discoveries, of which there are many. Venturing forth from their hotel rooms at the Magdalena Plaza Sevilla or the Alfonso XIII, travellers can enjoy the many thousands of bars, cafés and restaurants Seville has to offer. A foray into the Old Town – the largest of its kind in Spain, and one of the largest in Europe – brings many craft shops, goldsmiths and embroiderers that have served residents for generations, as well as new stalls and stages for the city’s next film, music or flamenco festival.

So, too, might they venture down the scenic banks of the Guadalquivir and discover the rich constellation of shops and businesses fostering the kind of innovation and research that makes Seville a commercial competitor in the international arena. Above all, such enterprises make Seville less of a stage set and more of a living, breathing city, one that Lee described as radiating “traditional alegria [joy], where gaiety was almost a civic duty”. That observation rings as true today as it did in the century it was made – and by carefully balancing the needs of residents with those of visitors, it should continue to do so in the next 100 years as well.

Tourist information for using the seville subway.

The Seville Metro is an  18km light metro system consisting of a singular line servicing  22 stations . Having opened in 2009, it is a modern, small and efficient metro system that is  simple to use , but not always the best option for tourists.

Seville Metro Operating Times

The Seville Metro is open every day of the week including holidays, with extended hours on the weekend.

During special holidays (eg. Christmas , Holy Week , and the April Fair ) additional metro services are put on with extended opening hours. For the latest information and timetables please visit the official Seville Metro website .

Seville Metro Frequency

Seville Metro Tickets and Prices

Single tickets on the Seville Metro cost €1.35 , and there are no additional discounts for a return ticket – you just book two singles.

There is an option for an all-day ticket priced at €4.50 , allowing you unlimited metro travel for 24 hours. This option is only worth it if you’re planning on using the metro more than once.

Tickets can be purchased at all stations via self service machines , with some of the larger stations also having manned kiosks to purchase tickets.

From a tourist perspective, if you’re already in the centre, the Seville Metro isn’t recommended , and there are better alternatives (either walking or the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus ) to travelling around Seville’s main attractions , as the metro is mainly used to access the suburbs around Seville.

PRESS RELEASE: Routes Europe officially handed over to 2025 hosts

On the final day of the 2024 edition of the event, Aarhus Airport and VisitAarhus officially handed over the hosting responsibilities of Routes Europe to the Government of Spain, The Regional Ministry for Tourism, Culture and Sport of the Government of Andalucia, and Seville City Hall.

Routes Europe is held in varying venues and locations annually, bringing together key stakeholders from the route development community to drive air network growth across Europe and beyond. Airlines, airports, and tourism authorities are expected to take part in over 4,000 meetings at the 2025 edition of the event which will be influential in building high-value air service development partnerships.

Seville is recognised as a hub for tourism innovation and its efforts have allowed visitors to the city to remain practically unhindered by seasonality. Considered the fourth largest city in Spain, Sevilla Airport is crucial to the city’s thriving tourism industry, connecting to a total of 79 destinations served by 24 airlines.

The expansion project at Sevilla Airport allows the airport to serve 10 million passengers, increase services, and improve passenger experience. Connecting directly to a wide range of European destinations, the capital of Andalusia plans to communicate clear growth opportunities for new long-haul services. By hosting Routes Europe 2025, Seville will cement its position as a key gateway and an MRO capital of Southern Europe to the region’s leading airlines.

In its 2024 summer schedule, Sevilla Airport will welcome five new destinations served by three airlines including Ryanair services to Trieste, Birmingham, and Budapest. The Stockholm route will be served by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and Maderia by Air Nostrum.

Miguel Sanz, Director General of Tourspain, Government of Spain, said: “The recovery of connectivity is essential for tourism. Spain has fully fulfilled this recovery with Europe and forecasts regarding air capabilities in 2024 are very good. Participation in Routes is a key alliance for Turespaña, which has been proven effective, not only in terms of data, but in the effort in the developing of new routes and capacities, thanks to the direct and fluid relationship between airports and destinations. From Turespaña we offer special support to the organization of this great event, in a destination with enormous potential for connectivity, such as Seville. Without any doubt, it will boost the attributes of this city in tourism and air services, and will strengthen the international leadership position of our country in quality services.”

Arturo Bernal, Regional Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport of the Government of Andalucía, said: “From the Government of Andalusia, we would like to express our gratitude to Routes Europe for the support and for choosing us. Seville is a reference in the aerospace sector at an international level, with the presence of important companies such as Airbus or the Aerospace Technology Park (Aeropolis), with more than ten thousand professionals linked directly or indirectly to this sector.”

Bernal added: “The growth of Seville airport is also an important aspect of improving Andalusia's connectivity, both domestic and international. The improvements being made in recent years will allow the airport's annual capacity to be increased to over ten million passengers, opening up new objectives for the future. The organization of an event such as Routes Europe 2025 will serve as an opportunity for Andalusia to show all its potential to all the professionals of the sector who will participate in this magnificent event.”

José Luis Sanz, Mayor of Sevilla, said: “Seville is a unique tourist attraction destination in Europe, connected with 21 countries and 82 airports, which links us with almost any destination in the world in just a little more than a stopover. Behind this there is a lot of work with the aim of continuing to improve Seville’s connectivity. The organization of an event like Routes Europe 2025 in our city is an honour and a responsibility. We have no doubt that it will be memorable and will position Seville at the highest level in the future of European air connectivity.”

By consistently uniting decision-makers from the European route development community, Routes Europe has made a real impact on the region's air services – over half of the region’s new routes are connected to meetings at the event. VPs and Heads of Network Planning from 90 of Europe’s leading carriers are expected to attend the event in Seville.

Steven Small, Director of Routes, said: “The development of new air connections has proven to contribute to economic growth and desirability of a destination. Hosting the 18th edition of Routes Europe will allow Seville to demonstrate the extensive potential of the destination and wider region to the region’s leading carriers, ultimately enhancing the number of air services and growing seat capacity to the destination. I am confident that the attractiveness of this dynamic city will support Seville’s objectives in the future.”
