1. Marbella to Seville by Car
Travelling by car is one of the most convenient ways to get to Seville from Malaga, on your own terms. There are a number of car rental places in Marbella you can use and the journey is a fairly easy one. I have added the details below.
- Distance travelled: 195 km
- Journey time: 2 hours 45 minutes fastest route
- Journey details: via A-397
- Tolls to be paid: 8.35 euros (use toll calculator
- Petrol estimate: 27 euros
There are actually three different route options for this journey, the fastest one being the one through Ronda, which also makes a very picturesque stop-over. This road leads through the mountains so you can expect to encounter some serpentines on the way and you might have to drive slower or make a stop on the way to Ronda.
If you prefer, you can also take the longer but same-duration journey passing near Gibraltar and Cadiz, if those would be your preferred stops on your way to Seville.
The last option is a route via Benalmadena and passing Antequrra, which is a good option if you would like to see the Antequerra national park on your way, or stop over at Caminito del Rey.
2. Marbella to Seville by Bus
There is a direct bus connection between Marbella and Seville but with only 2 departures per day.

Bus Ticket Prices
The bus tickets start at 19.98 euros per person.
Marbella Bus Station
The main bus station in Marbella is North of the town centre, a somewhat inconvenient location for most people.
The faster long-distance buses will only stop at the main bus station and not closer to the coastline.
The bus station in Marbella has almost non-existing facilities and no shops, only a few vending machines. It is also a fairly remote location with no other facilities like restaurants or shops located close by.
There is a small taxi rank outside of the bus station, and if you would like to walk from there to the coastline, it would take about 30 minutes.
The location of the bus station is marked on the map below.
Seville Bus Station
Seville bus station is located at Plaza de Armas, close to the river. From the station you can take a taxi just outside or walk to the old town, which should take about 20 minutes.
3. Marbella to Seville by Train
Marbella does not have a train station as the train network does not run further south than Fuengirola. If you would like to get to Seville by train, you would have to get to Fuengirola by bus or car, in order to get to Malaga by train. From there you can take a train to Seville.
4. Marbella to Seville by Taxi
If you’re planning to travel by taxi, the cheapest estimate I found was around 80 euros per person, with a pre-booked private transport company.
You can also check gettransfer.com which I often use for long-distance trips – the site will give you quotes from lots of different companies for your trip so you can select the cheapest one.
