Timetable of the Seville to Cadiz train

The exact Seville to Cadiz train times change with the season and the day of the week, so we send the timetable for your specific date rather than a list that may be wrong by the time you read it. As a rule the service runs about hourly, each taking around 1 hour 45 minutes. Weekend timetables are sometimes thinner in the early morning; holiday periods add extra trains and sell out earlier.

Our advice for the timetable: choose the departure that fits your day in Cadiz, not the cheapest one blindly - though we tell you both. A train that arrives at Cádiz in the early afternoon gives you the evening in Cadiz; a late one lands you after dinner.

Is there a direct train from Seville to Cadiz?

There is a direct train from Seville to Cadiz operated by Renfe Media Distancia and Alvia, and it is the one we book unless you ask for something different. One ticket covers the whole journey; you keep your seat from Sevilla Santa Justa to Cádiz; children and luggage stay in one place. It runs about hourly.

Departure: Sevilla Santa Justa

Sevilla Santa Justa is where the Seville to Cadiz train begins. We send the platform and coach details with the ticket when the rail company 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.

• Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure
• Keep the e-ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both
• 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 Sevilla Santa Justa for early arrivals

Arrival: Cádiz

The train arrives at Cádiz - Cádiz is one of the oldest cities in Europe, an Atlantic peninsula of white houses, watchtowers and city beaches. From the platform you are minutes from taxis, local transport and the city itself. Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from Cádiz to your hotel in Cadiz with a driver waiting at the platform exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Seville to Cadiz journey.

Many travellers continue from Cadiz to somewhere else the next day. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

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

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

• Pets are allowed on many services with a small ticket - tell us if one is travelling
• 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

Children, luggage and groups on the Seville to Cadiz train

Haqqi Tours books family and group travel on this route week in, week out. Children's fares depend on age bands set by Renfe Media Distancia and Alvia, which we apply automatically; a pushchair folds into the luggage space; a table of four keeps everyone together. Larger groups - a school trip, a company, a wedding party - get seats reserved in a block and, where available, a group rate. There is no luggage allowance to worry about on the Seville to Cadiz train.

Things to do in Cadiz after the train

Cádiz is one of the oldest cities in Europe, an Atlantic peninsula of white houses, watchtowers and city beaches. Start with the Torre Tavira camera obscura, the Central Market and the cathedral and its golden dome, then La Caleta beach.

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

Best time to take the train from Seville to Cadiz

The train from Seville to Cadiz runs all year. High season in Cadiz follows the school holidays and the big events. 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 Seville to Cadiz?

Weighing a flight against the train from Seville to Cadiz? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is usually as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 1 hour 45 minutes on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some travellers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.

Return train from Cadiz to Seville

We book the return leg from Cadiz to Seville just as easily, and normally on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the train from Seville to Cadiz cost?

"How much is the train ticket from Seville to Cadiz?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your travel date in a few minutes of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.

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

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

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

• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
• Tell us 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
• Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
• For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers frequently unlock a lower rate

We are happy to be asked "what is the cheapest way to get from Seville to Cadiz by train?" - it is a question we answer many times a day, and the answer for the date you travel comes back by WhatsApp.
