Seville caps tourist flats at 10% of the homes in each barrio, and most of the old centre was already over that line. Andalusia charges no tourist tax, and the city's only low-emission zone is on the Isla de la Cartuja.

Where to stay
Seville's sights sit in the Casco Antiguo, where parts of the street network need a permit and tourist flats have reached their cap. Triana, Nervión and Los Remedios lie outside that ring.

Monthly stay
Andalusia draws its line at two months, so a month in a registered Seville flat is still a tourist stay. Beyond two months with the same tenant, the let becomes a seasonal lease.

No tourist tax is in force in Andalusia. Seville's mayor asked the regional tourism minister for one again on 18 September 2026, and the minister opposes it. Both come from press reports; no official statement was read.
Not in eleven barrios of the Casco Antiguo, among them Santa Cruz, Arenal and Alfalfa, nor in the traditional part of Triana. Since 29 October 2024 tourist flats may not exceed 10% of the homes in each barrio, and those barrios were already above it.
Santa Cruz, beside the cathedral and the Real Alcázar, puts the sights on foot. Parts of the Casco Antiguo are restricted-access zones that need a municipal permit, so ask the hotel how its guests arrive by car.
Andalusian rules require a document, as a contract, showing the operator, the flat's Registro de Turismo de Andalucía code, the number of guests, the dates, the total price and a contact phone. Guests show an identity document.
