Parking in Seville: GES Zones, Garages and Free Spots 2026

car parking in Seville
Safe & CHeap parking
All locations

Parking in Seville is governed by GES (formerly ORA), with three colour-coded street zones – Sea (1.85 EUR/h), Blue (1.40 EUR/h, max 2h) and Green (1.10 EUR/h, max 5h). For longer stays AUSSA and SABA underground garages are the only sensible option – 22-28 EUR/day drive-up or 12-18 EUR/day pre-booked on Parclick.

Seville parking zones: GES (Sea / Blue / Green) explained

Seville renamed the old ORA system to GES (Gestion de Estacionamiento en Superficie) but the day-to-day system is similar. Color tells you allowed stay length and price tier. Historic centre around the Cathedral and Santa Cruz is largely pedestrian and many streets are residents-only.

Sea Zone (Mar)1.85 EUR/h, max 1h, very high turnover (near Cathedral, La Encarnacion)
Blue Zone (Azul)1.40-1.70 EUR/h, max 2h (centre + tourist areas)
Green Zone (Verde)1.10 EUR/h, max 5h (residential edges)
EnforcementMon-Fri 09:00-14:00 + 17:00-21:00, Sat 09:00-14:00, free Sun and August
Free zonesMost areas beyond Ronda de Capuchinos / SE-30 motorway

Trick: Blue 35-minute minimum charge is 0.45 EUR, but parking meters bill in 5-minute blocks beyond. The free August month is real for street zones but does NOT apply to underground garages.

Free parking near Seville (with a short walk or transit)

Beyond Ronda de Capuchinos

Streets north of the inner ring road are largely free. 20-25 min walk to the Cathedral, or one short bus ride.

Isla de la Cartuja

Across the river by the expo grounds, mostly free street parking. 20 min walk or tram T1 line to the Cathedral.

Heliopolis / Los Bermejales

South of the centre near the Estadio Benito Villamarin. Free street parking, 30 min bus ride to the centre. Best for budget multi-day stays.

Free zones can become residents-only with little notice. Check signs and the SmartSeville app before leaving the car overnight – a fine is 60-90 EUR.

Paying for GES – the apps that work

SARE / AUSSA SmartSeville

The official app for Seville GES. Lets you start, extend and stop sessions, pay by card, and stop early to recover unused minutes. Recommended over the meter.

Note your plate and zone code (printed on the nearest meter) before starting – both are required in the app.

EasyPark

Universal European app, works in Seville GES. Convenient if you use it elsewhere in Spain (San Sebastian, Cordoba).

Telpark (Empark)

Spanish national parking app. Covers most GES zones and several garages. Backup if SmartSeville rejects your card.

Coin meters

On every block. 5-minute blocks, max session 2-5h depending on zone. No early-stop refund. Use only if no smartphone.

Where to park by neighbourhood

Centro / Cathedral / Santa Cruz

No street parking. AUSSA Cano y Cueto or SABA Plaza Concordia are the safe bets.

Triana (across river)

Mix of green zone and free streets. Rafael Salgado is the cheapest garage anywhere in central Seville.

Macarena and Alameda

Mostly blue + green zone. Park outside the SE-30 ring and walk in via Calle Feria.

Los Remedios

Residents-heavy, limited tourist parking. SABA Plaza Concordia or Paseo Colon are the closest options.

Nervion + Sevilla Este

Centro Comercial Nervion offers free parking with shopping receipt. Tram T1 connects to the centre.

On Feria de Abril (April) and Semana Santa (Easter) the centre becomes completely closed to vehicles. If you visit those weeks, park at AUSSA Rafael Salgado or further out and walk/bus in.

Top parking tips for Seville

  • Pre-book your garage on Parclick – drive-up rates run 40-60% higher than online.
  • Use SmartSeville or EasyPark instead of coin meters – you can stop early and save minutes.
  • Check Sunday/August rules: GES street zones free, garages stay paid.
  • Photograph your bay number and signs before walking away – useful if you dispute a fine.
  • If your hotel is inside the SE-30 ring, ask reception for a garage discount voucher (many AUSSA lots have hotel partnerships).
  • Drive into Santa Cruz or the Cathedral area – many streets are residents-only with auto-bollards.
  • Leave the car on a yellow line “just for 5 minutes” – towing is fast in Seville centre.
  • Pay drive-up at SABA Plaza Concordia if you can pre-book – the saving is about 10 EUR/day.
  • Trust unmarked spots near Feria grounds in April – the entire area becomes no-parking with active towing.
  • Skip the SmartSeville app if staying multi-day – cumulative meter overpayment can add up.

2026 update

GES rates increased ~5% from January 2026. Sea Zone went from 1.75 to 1.85 EUR/h. SmartSeville app now accepts Apple Pay and Google Pay. SABA Plaza Concordia and AUSSA Cano y Cueto unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. GES (Sea, Blue, Green) zones are free on Sundays and public holidays, and the entire month of August. Garages remain paid 24/7. Yellow lines are no-parking regardless of day.
AUSSA Cano y Cueto on the edge of Barrio Santa Cruz – 4 minutes walk. SABA Plaza Concordia near the Setas is 5-6 minutes walk. Both run 22-28 EUR/day drive-up; pre-book on Parclick for 13-18 EUR/day.
1.40-1.70 EUR per hour depending on sector, with a 2-hour maximum. Pay via SmartSeville (recommended), EasyPark, Telpark or coin meters on the street.
No. The entire centre and Los Remedios become vehicle-restricted for Feria week (April) and Semana Santa (Easter). Park outside the SE-30 ring at AUSSA Rafael Salgado or take public transport.
AUSSA Rafael Salgado in Triana at 8 EUR/day drive-up (39 EUR/week) is the cheapest reliable option within walking distance of the centre. Free street parking beyond the SE-30 ring also works if you do not mind a bus ride.
You can pay an “anulacion” fine of 6-9 EUR via the app within 1 hour. After that the full fine of 60-90 EUR applies. Persistent or unpaid infractions can lead to towing in the historic centre.

Before you park: quick checklist

  • Have plate and zone code ready for SmartSeville
  • Pre-book AUSSA / SABA on Parclick if staying 4+ hours
  • Check for yellow lines and resident-only signs before leaving the car
  • Save bay photo and ticket reference
  • Confirm August / Sunday GES status
