The infrastructures left as a legacy of the 1992
Seville Universal Exposition make Seville a city with
an excellent transport system connecting it to the
rest of the province, the region of Andalusia and
the rest of Spain.
However, Seville is a city that not only has a good
internal and external transport system, but also a
privileged geographical location: Southern Europe
is the gateway to Northern Africa and a stop-off point
on the way to the Americas, just as it was five hundred
years ago. Seville is easy to reach using any means
of transport, thanks to its modern transport facilities.

The main roads into Seville are
the A-4, A-92 and A-49 motorways and the N IV
road. Seville has two ring roads, the SE-30
and the Supernorte, to ensure fluid traffic
flow around the city. |
Seville is linked to the capital of Spain by high-speed
train (AVE). The journey takes just two hours and
twenty minutes, with stops in Cordova and Puertollano.
An extensive local train service links Seville to
other towns in the province, and there are direct
trains to all Andalusia's provincial capitals.
Long-distance trains run from Seville to Valencia
and Barcelona. Santa Justa train station, situated
in the heart of the city, is a modern building designed
by architects Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz.
Flights into Seville land at San Pablo International
Airport, just a twelve minute drive from the city
centre. The current impressive airport, designed by
Rafael Moneo, was opened in 1991. The total cost amounted
to over one hundred million euro, and it has a passenger
capacity of eight million a year. There are now direct
flights to major European cities and good connections
via Madrid and Barcelona to many of the most important
destinations worldwide.

Seville's urban transport system
currently consists of a network of bus lines
linking all the different parts of the city
and its metropolitan area. |
