Madrid to Seville
Take the Train — 2h 33m, from €20, ~hourly
Spain's original high-speed line, and still one of its best: Madrid Atocha to Sevilla Santa Justa in about 2h33, with Renfe now joined by cheaper competitors on the same route. Advance fares can start near €20, though walk-up AVE tickets reach €90. Socibus and Alsa coaches take just over six hours for €14–30, which is a real saving if time is not the constraint.
Every way to make the trip
Competition on this corridor has cut advance fares sharply — check all three operators.
Just over six hours. Socibus runs from Madrids Estación Sur.
Times are the fastest scheduled service for each mode; flights are gate to gate, before airport time. Fares are typical advance-booking ranges, not quotes. Checked 5 September 2026. Distance is straight-line — rail and road are longer.
Prefer to drive?
Compare car hire at either end. Returning the car in the other city usually adds a one-way fee — check it before you book.
