Steps to plan your trip
Recommended For Most Guests
Best flight option for most UK guests
For most guests travelling from the UK, the easiest option is to fly direct into Seville Airport (SVQ). From London, there are regular direct flights from Gatwick with airlines including easyJet, Vueling and Ryanair.

Do you need to hire a car? Probably not. If you're staying in central Seville, everything is easy to do on foot and taxis are simple to use throughout the weekend. A taxi from the airport to the city is usually around €10–€15, or you can pre-book a transfer if you'd prefer.
Getting AroundBest area to stay for this wedding
For most guests, staying centrally in Seville is the best option. It makes it easier to explore the city, enjoy the wedding weekend and get to the venue without overthinking logistics. We'd recommend looking at areas such as Santa Cruz, El Arenal and Old Town.
Where to StayMust Sees
Seville has a few absolute must-sees to fit in around the wedding events. Don’t miss a visit to the Cathedral (ideally timed for sunset), a stroll up to the rooftop for views over the city, a boat ride in Plaza de España, and the stunning gardens of the Real Alcázar. It’s highly recommended to book tickets in advance, as they often sell out in the week leading up to your visit.
Things To DoTop Tips
Pack for Heat
Seville in early Oct is warm (mid–high 20s°C). Bring light, breathable outfits, sun cream for daytime and a light layer for cooler evenings at wedding events and outdoor celebrations.
Eat Late
In Seville, expect late dining: lunch 2–4pm is often the main meal, and dinner is from 9pm. Restaurants may not open until 8:30pm, so wedding evenings run later than UK.
Useful Phrases
Useful wedding phrases: “Felicidades a los novios” (congratulations to the couple), “¿Dónde es la ceremonia?” (where’s the ceremony), “¿Dónde es la recepción?” (where’s the reception), “¡Salud!” (cheers).
Currency
Spain uses the Euro (€). Cards are widely accepted, especially in cities, but carry some cash for small tapas bars, taxis and market stalls during your wedding trip in Seville.
✈️ Best way to get to Seville
Most guests fly direct from London — it's around 2h 45m. Flying via Madrid is also an option if you're looking for flexibility or better value. Flights to Malaga are also more frequent, but requires you to travel to Seville.

Transfers
Seville Airport (SVQ) is around 30 minutes from the city centre. Here are the main options for getting in.
Taxi
The easiest option. Taxis queue outside arrivals — the fixed fare to central Seville is around €28–32. No pre-booking needed.
Pre-booked Transfer
A good option if you prefer a meet-and-greet or are arriving late at night. Often a similar price to a taxi.
Organise a TransferCar Hire
Only worth it if you're planning to explore Andalusia before or after the wedding. Parking in central Seville is limited and expensive.
Organise Car HireGetting Around
Once you're in Seville, the historic centre is very walkable. Most guests staying centrally won't need a car for the whole weekend.
Walking
The old town (Santa Cruz, El Arenal, Triana) is compact. Most sights and restaurants are within 15–20 minutes on foot.
Taxis
Easy to hail on the street or book via MyTaxi. Usually €4–8 for short trips across the city.
Uber / Cabify
Both operate in Seville and are often similar in price to taxis.
🏨 Where we recommend staying
Most guests are staying centrally in Seville — it makes the whole weekend much easier.
Stay in Santa Cruz
The city’s most charming neighbourhood — central, walkable, and packed with tapas bars, boutique hotels, and iconic sights. It’s also an easy taxi ride to the wedding venue.
Best for: Guests who want to be in the heart of it all
Explore hotels in Santa CruzStay in El Arenal
A slightly quieter area that’s still very central. Great value accommodation, close to the river, and surrounded by some of Seville’s best restaurants and bars.
Best for: Guests who want a quieter base while still being close to the action
Explore hotels in El ArenalMaking a trip of it?
If you’re extending your stay, consider heading to the coast after the wedding — Cádiz is perfect for a relaxed beach day and seafood lunch. You could also make a bigger trip of it with a few nights in Málaga, or even venture into Portugal for a change of pace and scenery.
