Day trip to Saville from Faro

Has anyone done this? Looks like there's a bus and it takes between 2.5 and 3 hours. Just wondering what the bus is like and whether it's worth doing. Thanks!

I've not done this particular trip but I see you can get an Alsa coach, which is like National Express - they're nice air conditioned coaches, I've been on a few. We got one from Granada to Seville and they gave us free bottled water and headphones but that was a few years ago.

Seville is definitely worth visiting but a day is nowhere near enough and it's a long time on a coach there and back in a day. What about staying overnight and having nearly 2 days there?

If you are comfortable driving it might be easier to hire a car and just drive. Agree with the PP though that I’d book a hotel for the night and have nearly two days in Seville. If you are going in August be aware that Seville can be swelteringly hot - it’s a lovely city and worth a visit though.

Yes we were thinking about staying overnight - will have a look at hotels. Thank you!
