Money-saving tips
Practical ways to stretch your budget further.
Eat the menú del día (set lunch) at local restaurants — €10–€14 for 3 courses with wine saves 60% versus à la carte
Drink standing at the bar, not sitting at a table — terrace seating commands a 30–50% surcharge at many bars
Book Alcázar and Cathedral tickets online at least a week ahead to avoid needing a guided tour to skip queues
Buy a SEVICI weekly bike pass for €13.33 instead of paying for taxis — the city is flat and compact
Supermarket wine: Mercadona and Lidl sell excellent Andalusian wines from €3–€5
Visit Museo de Bellas Artes on a weekday (free for EU citizens, €1.50 for others)
Stay in La Macarena or Triana rather than Santa Cruz — same city, 20% cheaper accommodation
Travel January–February or November for lowest prices (avoid Feria and Semana Santa)
Use the airport EA bus (€4) rather than a taxi (€25–€32) from the airport
