Within the city center, walking is the preferred method of transportation along the narrow and windy streets. It's the best way to learn street names, experience the personality of each neighborhood, and soak up the local culture. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk much more than you might be used to at home! If you get lost, don't be afraid to practice your Spanish and ask for help.

Many locals also use Tussam, the bus system. If you are studying at the Pablo de Olavide University you will be especially interested in the bus due to the fact that the university is just outside the central part of Sevilla.

For current schedules, pricing, and information, please consult the website at www.tussam.es. Here is a list of estimated prices for bus passes:

1 trip = 1.20 EURO (you can buy these on the bus)

10 trips = 7.00 EURO (you can buy these at the newspaper kiosks and tobacco shops around town. This pass will allow you to exit a bus and get back on within the hour with no further cost for your trip)

10 trips = 6.00 EURO (you can find these at the newspaper kiosks and tobacco shops as well, the only difference is that this pass will not allow you to get off and back on a bus, you will have to use a trip every time you get on a different bus)

30 days = 30.00 EURO (can be purchased at kiosks)

The long awaited subway system project is now complete and ready to use for your commuting convenience. It is an above-ground train (tranvía) that crosses through the center of the city. More information can be found at www.metrocentrosevilla.com.

Another new option that might be of interest to students is called Sevici, short for "Sevilla en bici." It is a bicycle rental program that is free of charge for rides under 30 minutes and is available throughout the city. For more information, see www.sevici.es.

Your resident directors will also give you detailed information about transportation options upon arrival in Sevilla.
