Where to stay for the Seville Marathon 2027: areas, real prices and walking times

The Zurich Seville Marathon is on Sunday 21 February 2027 with 20,000 bibs, and the city feels it. On 1 November, for race weekend (Friday 19 to Sunday 21 February), Booking listed 1,118 places to stay in Seville with free cancellation and a score of 7 or more, at a median of €254 a night for two people. The same property cost on average 1.5 times more than the following weekend.

One figure says it all: for a single Saturday night, only 173 places were left and the median was close to €390. Up here you can see how many places are left and how prices are moving, updated every week; below, which areas let you walk to the start and which are better value, and at the end, a map of what is still available.

Where everything is over the weekend

• Start and finish: on Paseo de las Delicias and Avenida de María Luisa, next to María Luisa Park and the Plaza de España. The race starts at 8:30.
• Transport: metro line 1 (Prado de San Sebastián and Puerta Jerez) and the tram drop you a short walk from the start.
• Bibs: at the Runners’ Fair in the FIBES Conference Centre (Avenida Alcalde Luis Uruñuela, 1), on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 February, 10:00 to 20:00. No bibs are handed out on Sunday. Note that FIBES is in Sevilla Este, far from the centre: plan on a bus, taxi or car.
• 5K Breakfast Run: on Saturday 20, with separate entry.

Areas, from the closest to the furthest

What was available on 1 November for two nights, Friday 19 to Sunday 21 February, for two adults. Time is how long it takes to walk to the start along real streets at an easy pace (median for the area); price is the median per night.

By the park: almost nothing left

Around Prado de San Sebastián, Los Remedios and San Bernardo, 11 to 21 minutes on foot, there were only 9 places left, at a median of €257. Apartamentos Plaza España – Enjoy Sevilla (score 9.5), 11 minutes from the start, was €391 a night and Hotel Giralda Center (score 9.2, 16 minutes) €367.

Santa Cruz and San Bartolomé: the prettiest area, and the most expensive

The old Jewish quarter and its surroundings are 11 to 25 minutes on foot: walk down through the Murillo Gardens and you are at the start. There were 48 places, at a median of €329. Below that: LIRIUM Casa Patio (score 9.2, 22 minutes) was €215, Basic Hotel Sevilla Catedral (score 8.8) €251 and Hotel Rey Alfonso X (score 9.4, 17 minutes) €286.

El Arenal: by the river

Between the Cathedral, the Maestranza bullring and the river there were 52 places, mostly apartments, 16 to 26 minutes on foot, at a median of €352, the highest in the city. Sevilla DosTorres (score 9.7, 19 minutes) was €270.

Alfalfa, Encarnación and Museo: the most choice in the centre

This is the area with the most places available, 79, 21 to 33 minutes on foot from the start, at a median of €275. Hostal Hom Museo (score 8.7) was €193, nüa santiago15 (score 8.6) €230 and Casa San Roque (score 8.5) €246.

Triana: cross the bridge and save

Across the Guadalquivir there were 21 places at a median of €227, about €100 less than in Santa Cruz. Triana is about half an hour’s walk from the start. Monte Triana (score 9) was €212 and Zenit Sevilla (score 9.1, 27 minutes) €228.

Nervión and Santa Justa: if you arrive by high-speed train

Between Santa Justa station and Nervión there were 18 places at a median of €225, and metro line 1 takes you to Prado de San Sebastián. It is the practical area if you come by train. Hotel Macià Sevilla Kubb (score 8.7, 24 minutes) was €211.

Alameda and San Lorenzo: apartments in a lively area

North of the centre, 30 to 44 minutes on foot, there were 58 places, almost all apartments, at a median of €235. A good area for dinner on Saturday, but the start is far: plan on a taxi or the tram on Sunday.

Sevilla Este: the cheapest, by the expo

Around FIBES, where bibs are collected, there were 12 places at a median of €160, the lowest in the city. On foot, forget it: it is over an hour and a half to the start. M.A. Hotel Sevilla Congresos (score 8.5) was €155. It only makes sense if you are coming by car.

Which nights to book

Properties with free cancellation and a score of 7 or more on 1 November, for two adults:

• Don’t book only Saturday night. There were 173 places left and the median was close to €390: many properties require a two-night minimum.
• Friday and Saturday offers six times the choice of Saturday night alone (1,118 places against 173) and costs considerably less per night. As the bib expo closes on Saturday at 20:00, arriving on Friday is the most comfortable option.
• The race pushes the city’s prices up by 50%, comparing the same properties with the following weekend. In Barcelona, for example, the half marathon adds 10% and the full marathon 20%: in Seville, don’t wait until January.

Five things to check before you pay

1. Free cancellation and its deadline. The race is almost four months away: book with free cancellation and note the last day you can cancel.
2. Minimum stay: in city-centre apartments, this is what rules out most options.
3. How you will get to FIBES for your bib: it is in Sevilla Este, a fair way from the centre.
4. Breakfast at 7:00: with an 8:30 start, ask whether they serve it earlier on Sunday.
5. Check-out time: with a late check-out you can go back for a shower after the finish without rushing.

Before planning your trip: race bib and documents

Entries for the Maratón de Sevilla 2027 are sold out, an important detail to bear in mind before finalising travel arrangements. If an opportunity to transfer an entry arises, check that it is authorised by the organisers and understand the conditions before assuming the place can be transferred to someone else.

To collect your race bib, you must present your registration confirmation and a DNI, passport or other proof of identity. Having your documents ready prevents an outstanding task from disrupting the rest of your trip.

Someone else can also collect it for you. In that case, they need a copy or confirmation of the registration, a photocopy of the runner’s DNI and an authorisation signed by the runner. This is a useful option for anyone unable to attend the expo in person.

What to collect at the runner’s expo

You can collect both your race bib and your runner’s bag at the expo; to receive the latter, you must present your race bib. Entry is free for participants and accompanying visitors, so there is no need to make a separate trip from the rest of the group’s plans.

The bag includes the official technical clothing and the items provided for leaving belongings during the race: a mandatory bag and its identification sticker. The chip is attached to the race bib and does not need to be returned at the finish.

Before leaving the expo, it is worth checking that you have everything you need for race morning. Keeping your race bib, documents and bag-drop bag separate from the rest of your luggage makes preparation easier and avoids last-minute searches at your accommodation.

From your accommodation to the bag drop

The bag drop will be on avenida Santiago Montoto, in the port of Sevilla, near the Acuario. It will be open from 6:45 to 15:30, giving you time to leave your belongings before heading to the start and collect them after your run.

Its location matters when planning the journey from your accommodation: it is not enough to look only at the distance to your start pen. You also need to allow for a stop at the bag drop and the time needed to put away any clothing or items you will not take with you during the race.

Those travelling by car should bear in mind the road closures planned in the city centre on race day. Checking access routes before setting off is particularly useful if your accommodation is far away or if anyone accompanying you plans to travel around the city.

A meeting point for after the finish

The start is on avenida de María Luisa, by the Casino de la Exposición, while the finish will be on paseo de las Delicias, at the glorieta de Buenos Aires. Knowing the difference between the two locations helps you plan your journey there and back, especially if you leave belongings at the bag drop.

For runners and accompanying visitors, it is practical to agree on an easily recognisable meeting place in advance and decide how to contact one another afterwards. That way, everyone can move around independently without relying on finding each other in the crowd by the finish arch.

The organisers set a limit of six hours from the start of the last runner, with the finish closing at 15:00. Keeping these times in mind, along with the bag drop’s closing time, helps you plan your return and any later activities without relying on a single estimated finish time.

How we got these prices

We searched Booking on 1 November 2026 for two adults in one room, for three stays: Friday 19 to Sunday 21 and Saturday 20 to Sunday 21 February, plus the following weekend as a reference. We filtered for free cancellation and a score of 7 or more, and combined the results sorted by price, score, distance and Booking’s own recommendations. The price is the one any user sees, without loyalty discounts; the price per night is the total divided by the nights. Walking times are measured along real streets from the start, at an easy pace. We left out beds in shared rooms and anything more than 15 kilometres away. For the reference search we only collected part of the results, so we give no median there and compare prices property by property. Prices change daily.
