• Las Golondrinas: Order the Punta de Solomillo (marinated and grilled pork tenderloin served on a slice of bread and with potato chips on the side). Seriously, this might have been the best thing I ate in Spain.
• Bodega Mateo Ruiz: Local favorite family-run tapas bar that’s known for having the best fried bacalao (fried cod) and cheap wine.
• Bodegas Santa Cruz: A local-favorite bar that serves up delicious, authentic tapas at solid prices. It’s always busy with locals and in-the-know tourists so you might have to fight for a spot (but it’s worth it).

Seville Transportation Prices

Seville is compact so the best way to get around is on foot — Seville’s old town center is compact so you’ll rarely walk more than 25-minutes to get somewhere. However, there is a city bus and tram that cost €1.40 per trip — here’s a good overview of Seville’s tram and bus. 

You absolutely don’t want a car in Seville — the streets are tiny and there is essentially no parking.

There is also a city-wide bike-sharing service called Sevici if you want to explore on two wheels (but you’ll still have to dodge taxis and people).
