Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget
Setting realistic expectations for your travel budget is important. Many people think they can visit Seville on a tight budget, but most travelers aren't comfortable with a low "shoestring" budget. Think about what you enjoy during your vacations and how you typically travel. Do you prefer resorts, vacation rentals, or hostels? Do you want to visit museums, sights, and participate in activities? Is dining out a priority? These factors will shape both your budget and your itinerary.
What Defines a Budget Traveler?
While you might think you're a budget traveler, without giving up many of your usual comforts, you'll likely need to spend more than the $58 per day that backpackers often spend.
Backpackers often work within this tight budget by staying in hostel dorms, eating fast food or street food, using public transit, and mainly visiting free attractions.
Seville is packed with plenty of hostels, including JOY Plaza de Armas, Black Swan Hostel Sevilla, and Onefam Centro. At hostels like these, you can enjoy affordable dorm accommodation and a lively social scene, but amenities might be quite minimal. The culinary scene is a major highlight for those visiting Seville, but budget travelers often eat street food or cook for themselves in hostels, which can mean missing out on delicious local dishes.
So, are you average?
Couples and families enjoying a vacation will probably want to stay in a mid-range hotel, eat at popular dining spots, and explore the key museums and attractions that have entry fees. Tourists visiting Seville generally aim to explore the major attractions, museums, and significant landmarks. Keep in mind that most activities cost money. Thus, it's reasonable to expect your daily budget to be around $159 per person, per day.
Seville offers a diverse selection of hotels and vacation rentals. If you're traveling with companions, you can share a hotel room with a partner, friend, or your kids, making it easier on your wallet. Families should look for hotels and restaurants that are family-friendly. Hotel Casa Del Poeta is an excellent option for kids, and Hotel Ateneo Sevilla is another fantastic choice. For more family and couple-friendly accommodations, check out our hotel guide for Seville here.
Want to Escape the Daily Grind in Style?
If your ideal trip includes every luxury and top-tier service, be ready to budget around $478 per day. A stay at nicer hotels, meals at prestigious restaurants, fancy excursions, and getting around the city with taxis or private drivers will cost you more. Also, higher-end tours are common with luxury travelers, such as Alcazar and Cathedral of Seville Private Tour - offered by Viator.

If you're looking for some good food, tapas are a favorite in Seville. These small dishes are about the size of an appetizer and are usually delicious when enjoyed with wine. You'll want to order several as they are much smaller than entree sized, but they are quite delicious and can be surprisingly filling. There are great tapas places throughout Seville, with many concentrated around the cathedral in the center of town. There are some bars near the river that have good views, but prices can be a little steep given the quality of the food. If you're on a particularly tight budget you can buy your own food at any of the markets that are around the city center. Enjoy a meal of your own making as a picnic with a view.
When you're out with kids, seek restaurants that provide a kids' menu. This can help you save a good chunk of change, as these meals are usually priced lower. Remember, some places may not display their kids' options, so be sure to ask the server before ordering.
Many hotels include breakfast in their price, while some add it on as an extra charge. The price and quality can vary depending on the hotel. Knowing ahead of time can help you decide if you need to spend even more money. Maybe it's worth your money for the delicious buffet at the hotel. Or, perhaps you should just go to a nearby bakery or cafe that's much cheaper.
Save some money and appreciate the beautiful scenery by having a picnic. Find a nearby grocery store or market, pick out some fresh food, and choose a nice park or scenic spot for your meal.
Use a water bottle instead of splurging on drinks everywhere you go. It's a smart choice for the environment, too.
If you're planning to take a tour, make sure you know which meals are included beforehand. You might be on the hook to pay for some of the food yourself which can add to your budget.
