Seville bus station: Estación Plaza de Armas

Transport

Seville’s main bus station is called Estación Plaza de Armas. Fortunately, it is very well connected with the Tussam city buses and you can even walk to some areas of the city center from there.

Located by the river, right outside the historical city center of Seville, Plaza de Armas is the more modern of the two bus stations in Seville, and it was inaugurated in 1992.

This bus station serves destinations in Andalucía (Córdoba, Granada, Málaga, Huelva) and many of the towns to the north and the west of the city (Carmona, Ronda) and other regions of Spain, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Cáceres, Mérida, Asturias and Galicia. Bus departing from this station travel to Portugal and France as well.

In addition to this, the bus station is also an intercambiador de transporte, or public transportation hub.

Seville receives a lot of foreigners every year and taxi drivers know it. Taxis at Estación Plaza de Armas generally have a very bad reputation.
