Car Hire Seville Airport | Hertz Car Rental

As the capital of Spain’s Andalusia region, Seville is a thriving city filled with ancient history, traditional heritage and innovative developments – and getting to the heart of it from Seville Airport couldn’t be easier. Only 11km away, join the A-4 west straight from your pick-up point and intersect onto Avenue de Kansas City to reach the centre.

When driving in the city, be prepared for narrow roads and pedestrian-only areas in and around the old district, Casco Antiguo. Finding street parking can be challenging and it is usually limited to a maximum of three hours. However, Seville does have a variety of parking garages and underground lots available, usually at an hourly rate.

With direct access to the A-4 from Seville Airport, you can also hop in your hire car and explore the various towns and cities in the vicinity. Take the A-4 east to reach the cultured city of Córdoba. Mostly know for its magnificent Great Mosque, this 10^th century marvel stands as a stunning reminder of Moorish influence in Spain, when Córdoba was one of the most important cities in Europe. You can also bypass Seville and head south to reach the sleepy coastal town of Cádiz in less than two hours. Alternatively, head south-east of the airport along the A-375 to find the mountaintop city of Ronda.

Driving in Spain is on the right-hand side of the road and seatbelts must be worn at all times. Motorways typically have a speed limit of 120km/h, while on dual carriageways this is reduced to 100km/h. In the towns and cities, the maximum speed is usually 50km/h, with signs indicating the top speed for certain areas. Always ensure you check signs for the route that you are on, however, as limits can vary. 

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Seville is a picture-perfect destination resplendent with awe-inspiring architecture and phenomenal attractions. Boasting the largest historical centre in Spain and famous for its flamenco dancing, Seville is a city of tradition, heritage and beauty. Here you can discover vibrant neighbourhoods and historical landmarks, and indulge in a feast for the senses with wonderful music and food.

Explore ancient myth and medieval might 

Home to more than 2,000 years of history, legend has it that the city was discovered by the Roman hero Hercules himself. To the south of the historic quarter at Alameda de Hércules, you can even spot two towering statues of the famous God, as well as a monument to Julius Caesar, who is said to have restored the city. 

For another rich taste of history, the Alcázar of Seville is a must-see. This Spanish royal palace was originally built as a fortress during the 8^th century by Moorish settlers, before being reimagined as the home of the former Spanish king, Peter of Castile.

To reach new heights, quite literally, climb up the Torre del Oro (or the Golden Tower), a military structure dating back to the early 13^th century. Here, you can enjoy sweeping views of the city.

Soak up magnificent music

Seville is well-known as the birthplace of ‘flamenco’, an artform which includes guitar, song and dance, and you can immerse yourself in this Spanish tradition in the city. There’s an abundance of bustling flamenco bars in Seville, especially in the Triana and Santa Cruz neighbourhoods. One of the oldest is Los Gallos Tablao Flamenco, featuring an array of fabulous flamenco artists who vary in style each night.

To learn more about this traditional form of expression, you can also visit the Flamenco Museum. On top of allowing you to experience a flamenco show first-hand, it also includes exhibitions on its origins and history. You can even embark on your own flamenco workshop to learn just what it takes to be a top flamenco artist.

Satisfy your appetite after an exciting day of song and dance by enjoying some tapas in the 

La Macarena district. Then scout out even more flamenco venues to put your newly-learnt skills to the test.

Explore the charming coast

To feel the true benefits of the Mediterranean sun, head to one of Southern Spain’s attractive coastal destinations. Just over 120km away, the historic port city of Cádiz is a real favourite. Here you have a wide collection of attractive beaches to choose from, including La Caleta – a small cove tucked away between two ancient castles. Another favourite is Playa de la Cortadura, a 4km stretch of golden sand dunes and azure water.

Matalascañas is the closest beach from Seville, and as little as an hour and a half’s drive from the centre. To reach its golden shores you will travel through Doñana National Park, a preserved area home to a mix of wildlife, from migrating birds to the endangered Iberian lynx. Off the beaten track, this beach is a hidden gem and the perfect location to cool off and relax.  

Whether you want to soak up the history or bask in the summer rays, car hire at Seville Airport gives you access to many of southern Spain’s most spellbinding locations. Book now and enjoy an adventure to remember.
