History and Construction

Sevilla Santa Justa — Seville's main railway station — is located at Avenida Kansas City, s/n, 41007 Sevilla, and serves as the primary hub for high-speed, long-distance, and regional rail services across Andalusia. Seville-Santa Justa is the third-busiest railway passenger hub in Spain, handling millions of travelers each year as the city's primary transit gateway.


The station was inaugurated on May 2, 1991, with its construction tied to the preparations for Expo '92, one of the major international events that reshaped modern Seville. Sevilla Santa Justa replaced older railway stations like Plaza de Armas and San Bernardo, consolidating the city's rail traffic into a single, modern hub near the historic city center.


Since opening, the station has grown into the backbone of the local Cercanías commuter rail network, while also functioning as a key hub for southern Spain's high-speed rail grid. Today, Sevilla Santa Justa acts as the central node for regional services across Andalusia, connecting the city to Córdoba, Málaga, and beyond.

Location and Rail Connections

Sevilla Santa Justa sits at Avenida Kansas City, s/n, 41007 Sevilla, near the historic city center — close enough that walking from the station to the old town takes about 20 minutes. Nearby streets, including José Laguillo, connect the station to the wider Nervión and city-centre districts. From the station, several of Seville's most famous sights are within easy reach: La Catedral de Sevilla and La Giralda, the cathedral's iconic bell tower, are a short journey away, and travelers arriving during Semana Santa (Holy Week) will find the station busier than usual, given how central an event Semana Santa Sevillana is to the city's calendar. Some of the area's smaller attractions are practically a tiro de piedra — a stone's throw — from the station once you're in the surrounding Nervión neighbourhood.


Estación de tren Sevilla — as the station is often called in Spanish — connects the city to Córdoba and Málaga via high-speed and media distancia (medium-distance) services, alongside Cercanías commuter lines serving greater Seville. Different línea (line) schedules apply depending on the day: services generally run Monday to Friday, except festivos (public holidays), with a separate timetable for Sábados, domingos y festivos (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays).


As the central node for regional rail in Andalusia, Sevilla Santa Justa's platforms handle everything from local Cercanías trains to long-distance high-speed services, making it the natural starting point for exploring the wider region by train.
