Triana’s a cozy and bohemian neighbourhood, with picturesque streets that reflect the local atmosphere. However, one of the disadvantages of this neighbourhood is that the buildings are usually quite old, so the flats may not be in the best condition. Also, due to their popularity, the cost of rent is a little high compared to other neighbourhoods around the city centre.
Living in Triana is especially suitable for students who’ll be attending the following University of Seville campuses: Los Remedios, Cartuja, Centro, and Reina Mercedes.
Triana is known for being one of the most lively neighbourhoods in Seville. In fact, it’s known to be home to some of the best tapas bars. It also has plenty of bars and clubs for nightlife, many of which are located on Betis Street, one of the most iconic streets overlooking the river.
Some of the emblematic places to visit in this neighbourhood are:
To enjoy the good weather of Seville, students usually take walks along the Guadalquivir river. In addition, in the Vega de Triana Park you can have picnics, exercise, or enjoy the events that take place there throughout the year.
Triana is connected to the rest of the city via the L1 line of the metro and several bus lines. In addition, the central area of Seville can be reached in just a few minutes on foot or by bicycle.
Nervión is another one of the best neighbourhoods for students in Seville. It’s a more modern and commercial area than Triana or even the centre of the Andalusian capital. It has many offices, shopping centres and student residences, as well as two campuses of the University of Seville: the Ramón Cajal Campus and the Pirotecnia Campus.
This neighbourhood, located southeast of the centre of Seville, is full of tapas and cocktail bars, many with a modern atmosphere. In fact, it’s a lively area for nightlife, as it also offers several nightclubs and venues with live music.
Nervión houses the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, home of the Sevilla FC, so keep in mind that the streets tend to be crowded on match days, ideal for soccer fans! There are also several shops and shopping centres, with movie theatres and other entertainment options.
The pretty Buhaira Gardens and the little Federico García Lorca Park provide outdoor spaces to enjoy the good weather of the Andalusian capital.
Transport connections in Nervión are very good, with stations of the line 1 of the metro and with bus and tram stops. In addition, the Sevilla-San Bernardo train station is just a few minutes walk away.
La Macarena is a neighbourhood that’s quite chosen by students, having a creative and relaxed atmosphere that combines local Andalusian life with a university atmosphere. It’s ideal especially for those who are going to study at the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, and Communication of the University of Seville, as well as the Higher Technical School of Engineers (ETSI).
The cost of rent in La Macarena is usually much cheaper than in central areas, although it’s very close to them.
The area of the Alameda de Hércules is one of the most popular spots for students to hang out. It's home to the neighbourhood's widest variety of restaurants and bars, as well as some of its nightclubs.
As for cultural sites, the most notable is the Basilica of La Macarena with the image of the Virgin of Hope Macarena, one of the most venerated in Seville. Also worth visiting is the Perdigones Tower and the Camera Obscura (with beautiful views of the city), the section of the remains of the ancient wall and the Fair Market, one of the most authentic markets in Seville, perfect for trying local tapas.
In La Macarena there are some green spaces to enjoy Seville's beautiful weather outdoors. However, they tend to be relatively small. Among them are the Perdigones Park and the Andalusian Parliament Park. The Miraflores Park is also accessible, located further east.
The most used means of transport by students living in La Macarena are buses and bicycles. In addition, you can get to the downtown area in less than half an hour walking, so it’s a good option to visit it.
Living in the central area of the Andalusian capital is always a good idea! Its historic atmosphere with medieval and Renaissance buildings is unique. Keep in mind that, depending on the area, living in the city centre can entail a higher cost than in neighbourhoods on the outskirts.
In the old town is the central building of the University of Seville, in the historic Royal Tobacco Factory building. Many of the institution's campuses are also within easy reach.
This neighbourhood is full of restaurants and bars for all budgets, and you'll quickly learn which ones are most popular with students and which ones with tourists. In addition, many of the nightclubs of the city are found here, especially in the area of the Alameda de Hércules and its surroundings, which is where students tend to hang out. That's why it's another one of the best student neighbourhoods in Seville!
Among the cultural sites that you have to visit in the old town of Seville during your stay in the city are:
The Murillo Gardens make up an ideal park to enjoy the outdoors, while the walk along the Guadalquivir river are ideal for a walk, a picnic, or exercising.
As far as public transport is concerned, most of the bus stations are located in the streets surrounding the neighbourhood, although there are some lines that cross it. To the south of the old town there are also metro stations and tram lines. Many students also choose to walk or bike from one place to another, since everything is close by.
There are many neighbourhoods to consider for living, so it’s recommended to determine where your university and college are located so you can choose easily accessible accommodation. Among the neighbourhoods most chosen by students each year are: Triana, Nervión, La Macarena, the old town of Seville, and Los Remedies.
It's quite affordable compared to Spanish cities like Madrid, Valencia, or Barcelona. Estimate that, with affordable rent for a room in a shared apartment, you should have around €600-700 per month, including transportation, food, and entertainment.
Cycling is one of the preferred transportation options for students, who often choose to use the public bike service, Sevici, or buy a secondhand one upon arrival. As for public transportation, there are several metro, train, tram, and bus stations that serve the entire city and surrounding neighbourhoods.
It's a very lively city, and there are several neighbourhoods with a good atmosphere, bars, clubs, and restaurants. Some of them are, for example, Triana, the city centre, La Macarena, and Nervión.
The reality is that this depends a lot on which campus you’re going to study at. Triana and Los Remedios are close to the campuses of Los Remedios, Cartuja, Centro, and Reina Mercedes; in La Macarena are the campuses of La Macarena and Central, with easy access to the campus of Cartuja; in Nervión are the campuses of Ramón y Cajal and Pirotecnia. Meanwhile, all campuses are easily accessible from the centre of Seville.
