Train from Seville to Granada

If you prefer the idea of exploring Granada on your own and simply buying a ticket to Alhambra, then catch a train.

The Seville to Alhambra day tour by train will take longer, usually between 3 and 4 hours, rather than 2 h 30 min by car. This makes it a better option if you’re planning to spend more than one day in Granada.
