VillagesBest towns near Seville for a day trip, by train, bus or car
The best towns near Seville are Carmona, for Roman tombs and town walls, and Osuna, for its collegiate church, and both work without a car. Trains reach Utrera in 33 minutes and Osuna in 77, with the last one back after 10pm. Avoid Mondays, when most museums close, and note that the famous white villages are in Cádiz, not here.
VillagesCarmona Day Trip From Seville, Worth It and What to See
A Carmona day trip from Seville is worth it for Roman tombs, two fortresses and convent cakes, all reached by one bus and seen on a 2.9 km walk. Go Thursday to Saturday, when every sight is open; on Mondays the Necropolis and Santa María shut. Six paid sights cost 13 euros, and the nuns take cash only.
VillagesDay Trips From Seville Without a Car, by Bus or Train
Four of the five classic trips from Seville end at a bus stop in town, each with its line code and fare. The fifth, the Sierra Norte, is a C-3 train ride to a station outside the villages. Give Itálica a morning, Carmona a day, and Doñana, Matalascañas or the sierra a full day. Pick a weekday, because Sunday buses thin out.
VillagesCarmona From Seville by Bus, and What It Costs
Line M-124 runs from the San Bernardo stop in Seville to Carmona in about 73 minutes, with the last bus back at 21:00 Monday to Saturday. A single costs 3.00 euros, or 2.30 euros on the consortium card. Two people sharing one card pay 10.70 euros for the round trip, card included, instead of 12.00.
VillagesItalica From Seville by Bus, Free With an EU Passport
Entry to Italica costs nothing for EU citizens and 1.50 euros for everyone else. The buses that run there are the M-170A and M-170B from Plaza de Armas, and Sunday is the worst day to attempt it, because the site shuts at 3pm and only twenty buses head out all day. Monday it is closed, and individual visitors need no booking.
