Return train from Seville to Cordoba

How much does the train from Cordoba to Seville cost?

Train ticket prices from Cordoba to Seville move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.

What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the rail company requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.

Cheapest train ticket from Cordoba to Seville: how to pay less

A cheap train ticket from Cordoba to Seville is not luck - it is booking the right seat on the right departure. Here is how we find it:

• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are typically the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
• Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest train from Cordoba to Seville that day, and how much you would save by moving to the next one.

How to book train tickets from Cordoba to Seville with Haqqi Tours

Booking a train from Cordoba to Seville with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Fill in the booking form on this page with your travel date, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are travelling and the class you prefer. Our booking desk then messages you on WhatsApp to check your booking: we finalise the departures available on that day, the seats and the cost. You choose, we book, and the electronic ticket arrives in the same chat, ready to show on your phone or print.

• Step 1 - fill in the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the available departures, the seats and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the departure you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it to you; we stay in touch until you arrive in Seville

Because a person books the ticket, not a machine, we can do the things a booking site cannot: hold seats together for a family, pick the coach nearest the luggage racks, choose a quiet carriage, or line up the Cordoba to Seville train with a transfer from your accommodation to Córdoba Central station and another from Sevilla Santa Justa station to your hotel in Seville.

Timetable of the Cordoba to Seville train

More than 20 a day - that is how often the train from Cordoba to Seville runs with Renfe AVE, Avant and Alvia. The fastest services take about 45 minutes; some departures are slightly slower where they make extra stops. The first trains of the morning suit a full day in Seville; the late-afternoon departures are popular with travellers who want to sleep in their own bed and arrive in the evening.

We recommend booking a specific departure rather than an open ticket on this route: the fare is lower and the seat is guaranteed. If your day changes, we can generally move you to another train through the same WhatsApp chat.

Is there a direct train from Cordoba to Seville?

Direct - and that is the main reason passengers choose the train over flying between Cordoba and Seville. No connection, no second platform to find, and the journey time of about 45 minutes is exactly what the timetable says. Haqqi Tours books the direct service by default.

Departure: Córdoba Central station

Córdoba Central station is where the Cordoba to Seville train begins. We send the platform and coach details with the ticket when the railway publishes them, and a short note on how boarding works there - whether tickets are scanned at a gate, checked on board, or both. Arrive with a small margin; on this route the doors close a minute or two before the timetabled departure.

• Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees
• Cafés, kiosks and left-luggage are available at Córdoba Central station for early arrivals
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your accommodation in Cordoba to the station on request
• Let us know which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one

Arrival: Sevilla Santa Justa station

You step off at Sevilla Santa Justa station, right in the city - close to Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter and El Arenal and the Torre del Oro. The airport bus reaches the centre in about 35 minutes and suits a central hotel with a cabin bag; a private car is simpler for the narrow lanes of Santa Cruz, a late arrival, a family with luggage, or a trip on to Jerez, Córdoba or the coast. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet you off the train and take you to the door of your accommodation.

Onward journeys from Seville - a connecting train, a ferry or a flight the same day - can be added to the booking; tell us and we time the Cordoba to Seville train to fit.

Classes and what it is like on board the Cordoba to Seville train

What is the train from Cordoba to Seville like inside? Modern coaches with reserved seats, tables for two or four, racks for suitcases, sockets and normally Wi-Fi of varying quality. In 2nd class and 1st class the differences are space and quiet more than anything else. Over about 45 minutes the extra comfort of the higher class is worth it for some travellers and not for others; we tell you the cost of both and let you choose.

• Reserved seats with tables, power sockets and luggage racks
• Toilets in every coach; a café or bar coach on most long-distance services
• Wi-Fi on many trains on this route - useful for work, not reliable for streaming
• Quiet coaches and family areas on selected services - ask us when booking

Children, luggage and groups on the Cordoba to Seville train

Travelling with children on the train from Cordoba to Seville is easy: young children are often free or heavily discounted, seats can be booked together, and there is room to move about. Let us know the ages on the form and we apply the right fares. Luggage is not weighed or charged on this route; you bring what you can lift onto the rack. For groups, we book seats in the same coach and ask about group fares, which usually make the Cordoba to Seville train the cheapest way to move several people between the two cities.

Things to do in Seville after the train

Seville is the Andalusian capital of the Giralda, the Alcázar, flamenco and orange trees. Arriving by train puts you in the middle of it: the Museo de Bellas Artes, a flamenco show in Triana, the Roman ruins of Itálica, the Cathedral and Giralda tower and the Real Alcázar are all reachable from Sevilla Santa Justa station by metro, tram or bus or a few minutes by taxi. For the first meal, try tortillitas de camarones, torrijas at Easter and salmorejo and gazpacho.

Haqqi Tours can provide guided day tours, tickets and private drivers in Seville; ask when you book the train and we send the options.

Best time to take the train from Cordoba to Seville

The train from Cordoba to Seville runs all year. March to May and October to November are ideal; Holy Week and the April Fair are the peak festivals, when hotels fill early and central streets close to cars; July and August frequently exceed 40 °C. If you can travel outside those weeks, the same seat costs less and the train is quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Train, plane or bus from Cordoba to Seville?

For most passengers the train is the best way to get from Cordoba to Seville: about 45 minutes centre to centre, no change, no airport time and no baggage fees. A flight only wins when the distance is very long; a bus is cheaper on some days but slower and less comfortable, and arrives at a bus station rather than the centre. Haqqi Tours arranges flights and transfers as well, so if the train is not the right answer for your dates we say so.
