A complete guide to Seville Cercanías trains

Transport

The Seville Cercanías trains are the local commuter trains that serve the city, and run frequently to small towns in the outskirts. Seville has a good train connection with Renfe suburban network.

Unless you plan to visit one or some of the surrounding villages (e.g. the beautiful Utrera), you won’t need to use the Cercanías trains.

However, if you plan to take the train to travel around Spain, you should definitely have a look at my complete guide on train travel from Seville.

Alternatively, you can also read more about getting to Seville by train from other cities in Spain.

Unfortunately, there is no Cercanías train line linking the Seville airport with the city center. Just in case you need it, here’s everything you need to know when arriving to Seville airport and how to get there from the city center.

Cercanías trains start running every day between 5:00 and 6:00 and stop at around midnight.

Trains normally run every 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the line. At weekends and in the evening they are less frequent, and you may have to wait up to 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the time.

The Seville Cercanías trains tickets and fares

The price of the Cercanías train tickets varies according to the distance covered. You can buy, for example, a single ticket or a Bonotren with 10 trips.

Unfortunately, you cannot use the same transport tickets as you would for Metro and buses.

Don’t throw out your Cercanías train ticket and receipt until you’re well away from your destination train station. On arriving at your destination you’ll need your ticket again in order to exit the train platform area.

If you arrive to Seville by AVE, you can use your Combinado Cercanías.
