Cost of living · Seville
What does it cost to live in Seville?
Seville is a grand Andalusian capital, and still mid-priced. It is warm, walkable and full of life. Rent is your main cost, and it comes as two numbers. The official registered rent is about €668 a month. It is based on older leases, so it sits below today's prices. A one-bedroom advertised now asks about €809. Plan with the higher one. Here is what Seville really costs.

The big one
Rent decides your budget
Rent is the number that moves. The rest barely changes.
Rent is your biggest cost, and the one you control most. Where you live changes it more than anything else. So we start there.
Renting
What different rents get you
These are what flats ask for today. Each is one flat type, at today's advertised price.
€577
A one-bed outside the centre
Working neighbourhoods like Macarena or the outer north. Cheaper, still an easy ride into the centre.
Outside the centre
€809
A one-bed in the centre
In Santa Cruz or El Arenal, by the cathedral. You can walk everywhere, right in the old town.
In the centre
€947
A three-bed outside the centre
Family space in areas like Nervión or Los Remedios. Newer flats and more room, a short ride in.
Outside the centre
€1,338
A three-bed in the centre
A family-sized flat in the old centre or Triana. This is about the most you would expect to pay.

Good to know
What surprises people
Step outside the old core and prices drop fast.
The expensive part of Seville is small. It is the old tourist centre, around the cathedral. Step just outside — to Nervión, or across the river to Triana. There, a full city costs clearly less. You do not need the edge of town to save.

Do you need a car? No.
€35
A monthly pass for the metro, tram and buses across the city.
€1.40
A single ride on the metro, tram or bus.
