Couples, sherry lovers or birdwatchers: who each Seville day trip suits

History buffs and couples: Córdoba

Córdoba suits history buffs, architecture lovers and couples. Its Mosque-Cathedral is a forest of red-and-white striped arches, and the whitewashed Jewish Quarter is easy to walk. If you only have time for one classic Andalusian cultural trip from Seville, make it this one. We list 7 Córdoba day trips from Seville, rated 4.6 out of 5 by more than 3,439 travellers.

Photographers and romantics: Ronda

Ronda is for photographers, romantics and anyone who wants mountain views after the flat river valley. The town is split by the deep El Tajo gorge, crossed by the Puente Nuevo stone bridge. We list 10 Ronda day trips from Seville, rated 4.5 out of 5 by more than 11,155 travellers.

Families and military history fans: Gibraltar

Gibraltar suits families and military history fans. Red telephone boxes and English pubs sit under the Rock, where a cable car climbs to the wild Barbary macaques. It is a slightly surreal contrast to the rest of Spain, though the border crossing adds some logistics. We list 6 Gibraltar day trips from Seville, rated 4.4 out of 5 by more than 940 travellers.

Foodies by the sea: Cádiz and Málaga

Cádiz is for beach lovers, seafood fans and relaxed explorers. The old city sits on a peninsula almost surrounded by the Atlantic, with sea walls, fish markets and town beaches, a break from Seville's summer heat. We list 3 Cádiz day trips from Seville, rated 4.3 out of 5 by more than 764 travellers.

Málaga suits culture lovers, foodies and relaxed explorers. The port city mixes the Alcazaba fortress, the La Malagueta beachfront and a world-class art scene, as Picasso was born here. Direct high-speed trains from Santa Justa make it a car-free day. We list one Málaga day trip from Seville, rated 4.3 out of 5 by more than 144 travellers.

Sherry and horse lovers: Jerez de la Frontera

Jerez de la Frontera suits wine and horse lovers, and it is much less touristy than Seville. Sherry ages in its old bodegas, and at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art the horses dance to classical music. We list 5 trips to Jerez, rated 4.3 out of 5 by more than 846 travellers.

Birdwatchers and nature lovers: Doñana and El Rocío

Doñana is for nature lovers and birdwatchers. Its wetlands, dunes and pine forests shelter the endangered Iberian lynx, and El Rocío nearby has sand streets and hitching posts. The heart of the park is closed to walkers on their own, so you see it on a guided 4x4 tour. We list 6 trips to Doñana, rated 4.5 out of 5 by more than 400 travellers.

Archaeology buffs and TV fans: Itálica

Itálica suits archaeology buffs, budget travellers and Game of Thrones fans. The first Roman city on the Iberian Peninsula keeps detailed floor mosaics and a huge amphitheatre, the series' Dragonpit. It is 20 to 25 minutes away by car, so your afternoon stays free. We list 8 trips to Itálica, rated 4.4 out of 5 by more than 1,883 travellers.

Hikers with a head for heights: the Caminito del Rey

The Caminito del Rey is for hikers and thrill-seekers who are fairly fit and do not fear heights. The boardwalk clings to the sheer walls of the Gaitanes Gorge, high above the river. Entry tickets sell out weeks ahead because of daily visitor limits. We list 2 Caminito del Rey day trips from Seville, rated 4.3 out of 5 by more than 180 travellers.

Santa Justa trains and the Caminito checkpoint: Seville day trip tips

Trains to Córdoba, Jerez, Cádiz and Málaga leave from Sevilla-Santa Justa. At the Caminito del Rey, you park and then walk or take a shuttle bus to the checkpoint. Allow an extra 30 to 45 minutes before your ticket slot. Check what your trip includes and where it meets before you book.
