By Flight

Flying is the easiest way to get from Valencia to Seville. Several direct flights leave each day from Valencia’s international airport, with most fares costing under 50 euros. Flights are operated by Iberia, Vueling, and Ryanair.

Valencia’s airport can be accessed via the Valencia Metro, or by taxi. 

By Rental Car or Private Transfer

Private transfers can be booked to drive you directly from your hotel or from Valencia airport to Seville. If you prefer to rent a car, many major rental companies exist in Valencia as well. 

There are a few different routes you could take to get from Valencia to Seville. You have the option of taking highways A3 and A4—this is the quickest route, and takes you through the historic city of Cordoba, with its famous Mezquita, Synagogue, and Alcazar.

You could also choose to take highway A92. While this will lengthen your trip by about 45 minutes, it will give you the opportunity to visit the university city of Murcia, as well as Granada, where the famous Alhambra palace is located. If you do intend to visit the Alhambra, be sure to book ahead, as the palace can only be visited by advance booking and tickets sell out quickly.

For those who enjoy hiking, you can consider stopping off at the Sierra de Andujar, Sierras de Cazorla, or Sierra Nevada nature parks for some great views.
