The airport is located 10 kilometres north of the city, next to the N-IV road. The premises, designed by the prestigious Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, were totally refurbished for the Seville World Exhibition. Nowadays, more than two million travellers use this airport every year, most of them coming from other Spanish cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Valencia. Nevertheless, about 20 per cent of the flights connect the city to other European destinations: London, Paris, Düsseldorf, Brussels, Frankfurt, Rome, etc. When it comes to travelling to and from the airport, visitors can use either taxis, or the special bus service that departs from Puerta de Jerez, in the city centre.

Seville also has other long-distance services, such as Barcelona-Seville-Malaga/Granada-Almería, and the train-hotel Barcelona-Cadiz, via Seville. In addition, regional trains link Seville with the other Andalusian capitals and towns.
