Driving to Seville - what to do with car for 3 nights?

Will be driving from Portugal. What do you do with the car for 3 nights? Is there maybe a good safe lot to leave the car outside of city where then can just uber in to hotel? thank you

First of all, why UBER when taxis are excellent????

Possibly think of leaving the car in Portugal, taking public transport, or even a driver, to Sevilla, and renting a second car upon your departure. Might wash out price-wise, as compared to the drop-ff fee between countries, plus the fee of parking in Sevilla....maybe 20 euros per 24 hours..just a wild guess......

I've used private drivers often in this area and have always had good, if pricey, experiences....very easy to arrange.

I do not know anything about parking in the city but hopefully others here will have information.

I met a couple in Sevilla a few years ago who did just what you are planning. They said they left the car in a parking garage outside the center. If you aren't traveling light, consider leaving most of your luggage in storage in Portugal rather than leaving it in the car for 3 nights. Try the trip advisor seville forum. There are usually locals who can give you specifics on where to park and how to get to the center.

In 2011 we parked at Interparking Cano y Cueto, along Avenida de Menéndez Pelayo, since it was near our hotel. A recent photo shows the rate as €25 per day. It is an underground garage an fine for smaller cars. Like most parking garages, maneuver room is limited. A navigation system should be able to take you right to it.

I’ve never parked on the outskirts. There are some free lots not terribly far from the historic center, for example, C. Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, 113 (1.2 miles walking from the cathedral). Maybe there’s one near your lodging.

In 2023, we stayed at H10 Casa de la Plata, which we loved, and parked at Parking Imagen which is approximately 350m away. Worked out well for us. Looks as though current fee is 22€ per 24 hours.

Keeping the car because then will be driving back to Portugal, Seville is the middle of our trip and need the car for the other locations. Thanks for the ideas of parking spots. I'm sure people do this all the time and know we dont want to be driving into the heart of Seville. Just need safe parking for 3 days.

Driving into Seville is not an issue as long as you have a route planned (use Google maps) and parking scoped out. Have a great trip!

If you use Booking.com to find a hotel, select parking as a filter. Some hotels have their own garage, other have an arrangement with a nearby one. There are plenty of options (depending on when you travel, of course).

I remember using a large, underground (pay) garage, near the center of town. By now, there probably are displays with the number of vacant spaces, like in northern Europe.
