Package Deals to Seville, Spain: Saving on a City Break

The months that usually ask less of your budget are the shoulder ones: January, February, March, November and December. They are also comfortable for sightseeing. January tops out around 16°C and February around 19°C, with roughly five rainy days in each, which is pleasant weather for queuing at the Alcázar or walking between churches. November reaches about 20°C and December about 17°C.

March is the one to watch: it is mild at 21°C but brings around ten rainy days, so pack a coat. The popular months are April, May and October, when highs run from 23°C to 29°C, and demand follows. July and August average 37°C with almost no rain, which many visitors find too hot for a city break, so flexible travellers often look at the winter months for cheap city breaks to Seville instead.

For most people, the city of Sevilla itself is the obvious base. It is a large city with far more places to stay than its neighbours, and the main sights cluster close together: Seville Cathedral, the Reales Alcázares, the Archbishop's Palace and the Plaza de toros de la Maestranza are all around a mile from the centre, with Casa de Pilatos and Casa de Murillo closer still. Staying central means you can skip taxis and public transport for most of your sightseeing.

Camas, across the river and around four miles out, is home to the Isla Mágica theme park and the old Cartuja monastery, while Santiponce, about five miles away, sits beside the ruins of Italica and its Roman amphitheatre. Both are close enough to visit as day trips from a city base, which keeps cheap holidays in Seville simple: one hotel, short walks, a short airport transfer.

Flexibility pays. Midweek flights often cost less than weekend departures, and checking more than one UK regional airport as well as the London ones widens your options. Avoiding the school holidays makes a noticeable difference for families, since that is when demand across Spain peaks.

A package that bundles flight, hotel and transfer can work out well for cheap breaks to Seville, Spain, and with the airport so close the transfer is short. Room-only or self-catering stays let you eat as the locals do rather than paying for a board basis you may not use in a city full of places to eat. Booking early for the popular spring and autumn months, and comparing Seville package deals from several providers on this page, is the most reliable way to judge value.

Seville airport (SVQ) has direct flights from the United Kingdom and is only seven minutes by road from the city, eleven minutes from Camas and twelve from Santiponce. Jerez airport (XRY) also has direct UK flights and is about an hour and three minutes' drive from Seville, which can be worth checking if dates or departure airports suit you better.

You can compare packages from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach here, alongside hotel prices, tours and tickets, and car hire. A hire car is rarely needed in the centre but can be handy for Italica or the wider region of Andalusia.
