Weekend in Seville from London: 2 Days, €120 Flights, Perfect Hotels
My first Seville weekend nearly ended in disaster when I missed the last bus to Plaza de España. Now I book the 8:45am city bus from the airport—saving €15 on a taxi. You’ll need that cash for tapas. Flights from London to Seville cost €34-€120 one-way in 2024: Wizz Air offers the best deals (€34 on Tuesdays), while British Airways charges €120 but includes baggage. Always book 6-8 weeks ahead for the lowest rates.
Best Hotels: Location Beats Star Ratings
Forget generic "luxury" tags. The real winners are hotels in the Santa Cruz district (walking distance to everything). Here’s what to prioritize:
- Hotel Boutique Casa del Poeta (4.8★, 259 reviews): €120/night, 5-minute walk to Real Alcázar. Perfect for history lovers. Avoid weekends—rooms fill by 10am.
- H10 Casa de la Plata (4.8★, 620 reviews): €150/night, right on Plaza de España. Breakfast included (€12 value). Book the "Giralda view" room for €20 extra.
- La Banda Rooftop Hostel (4.8★, 651 reviews): €28/night, 10-minute walk to Triana. Best for solo travelers. Warning: Bathrooms get crowded at 9am—go early.
- Rey Don Pedro Luxury Home (4.8★, 51 reviews): €200/night, 3-minute walk to Cathedral. Watch out: Only 3 rooms available. Book 3 months ahead.
- Legado Magdalena Hotel (5.0★, 6 reviews): €180/night, hidden garden. *Only 6 reviews—check recent photos for accuracy before booking.*
Smart Spending: €12 Tapas, €5 Tram
Seville’s best meals cost €12 for 3 tapas at El Rinconcillo (try the fried cheese). Skip tourist traps near the cathedral—go to Calle de la Feria for authentic prices. Transport: The tram from SVQ airport to Arenal costs €2.50 (35 minutes). Rent a bike for €10/day to explore Triana—buses only go to the city center. Pro tip: Buy the Seville Card at the airport for €25—it covers 10 attractions and saves €30 on entry fees.
Seasonal Tip: Avoid July
April and May are ideal: average temps 18-24°C, no crowds. July hits 38°C—hotels raise prices 20% and tapas bars close early. Book flights in April for €34 (Wizz Air), not July’s €85 average.
Insider Tip Box
Book airport transfers via Seville Transfer—not taxis. They’ll meet you at baggage claim for €15 (vs. €25 taxi). Always confirm your flight’s terminal: LHR to SVQ takes 2h 15m, but you’ll need 1h 30m to reach Santa Cruz from the airport.
Seville’s magic isn’t in the postcard views—it’s in the €12 tapas shared at a 50-year-old bar. Book flights early, stay in Santa Cruz, and skip the cathedral queue by arriving at 9am. Your perfect weekend starts with a €34 flight and ends with a rooftop sunset. You’ll return with €20 to spare for a flamenco show.
