Green Mobility Guide

Seville

Sevilla is a completely flat city. It is situated in one of the lowest areas of Spain, the lower valley of the river Guadalquivir. It is only 10 metres above sea level on average, which is 90 kilometres far by river navigation and 100 kms. by road.

With the largest old town in Spain, 4 square kilometres, a municipal area of about 140 square kilometres and many interesting neighbourhoods, it is an ideal city for walking and strolling. In a city that is flat, open and clear and has a very good climate most of the year, cycling is ideal.

The metro is very useful for connecting large urban areas, especially in the west-east direction, but the line north to south is still in progress. The tram is a very pleasant way move around the city so its route, which is now very short, is being extended to access key areas of the city.

 

Therefore, the bus is the most popular means of public transport, with its extensive network capable of reaching all parts of the city. Taxis are very useful, as they can be hailed not only at the taxi stations, but also at any point in the city, and their price is affordable.

Seville City Council is currently immersed in the Breathe Plan (Respira Seville) which is part of the Seville Strategic Plan for 2030: ‘Creating a sustainable city that mitigates and adapts to climate change’. This objective is specified in five strategies: Decarbonisation of the city, Seville as a territory of urban planning and bioclimatic architecture, New shared management of green spaces, Development of sustainable urban mobility and Sustainable management of resources and circular economy.

The improvement of pedestrian and cycle mobility and the promotion of public transport are two of the fundamental objectives of Seville’s Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan.
