Benito Villamarín Stadium

Nice place

Estadio Benito Villamarin is located in the south of the city of Seville, about 3 kilometres from the historic city centre.nnThe stadium lies on the Avenida la Palmera, a large avenue which connects the stadium in one straight line with the centre. Around the city centre, the avenue – though with a different name – runs along the bank of the river Guadalquivir.nnThe stadium can be reached with bus 1, 2, 6, 34 and 37.nnFrom the southern edge of the city centre (Prado de San Sebastián), catch bus 1 (to Glorieta Plus Ultra), 34 (to Los Bermejales), or 37 (to Bellvista).nnFrom the bus station in the west of the centre, take bus 6 to Glorieta Heliopolis. The bus runs (partly) over the west bank of the river.nnFrom the northern edge of the centre and eastern parts of the city you can catch bus 2 to Glorieta Heliopolis.nnThere is no direct bus connection from Seville’s central rail station to the stadium, but bus 1 passes about 500 metres west of the station and bus 2 about 1 kilometres north-east of the station.nnAll buses have very frequent service. Bus 1, 2, and 6 have their last stop near the stadium.nnEstadio Benito Villamarin is located in a quiet residential area. There is the odd bar and restaurant around, mostly in the area toward the river, but you are likely better off eating and drinking in Seville’s historic centre.nnThere are a few hotels hotels around Estadio Benito Villamarin. Hotel Silken Al-Andalus Palace is located 200 metres from the stadium, gets good reviews, and is reasonably priced. Boutique Hotel Holos is a little more expensive, while Hotel Sevilla Palmero is somewhat further away, though still easily at walking distance.nnIf you have more money to spend, then Villa de la Palmera will likely be your pick, and hostel Albergue Interjoven is for those on a tight budget.

Great stsdium. Clean and the fans are soo friendly.

I got lucky and managed to get a ticket for the Seville derby. I’ve been to hundreds of football matches around the world and this is one of the best experiences I’ve had. The stadium is great and it was a brilliant atmosphere on the night

As early as 1912, the Spanish architectnAníbal González Álvarez-Ossorio had an initial design of a stadium for thenIbero-American Exposition of 1929. The executive committee has commissioned the architect Antonio Illanes del Río to complete the design in 1923. [3] Several locations were considered for the new stadium when finally the current location was chosen by commissar Cruz Conde. [3] The technical study for its construction was carried out by Manuel María Smith who has designed the San Mamés Stadium of Bilbao in 1913. [3] The construction works were launched in 1923 and finally completed by the end of 1928.
