Seville is widely praised by visitors and residents alike as one of the best cities in Spain to live or spend time in. The city is considered very safe and welcoming, with a strong sense of community and respect toward all individuals, including foreigners and LGBTQ+ residents. It's affordable compared to many other parts of Spain, with budget-friendly tapas and rentals. The internet is fast and reliable, making it suitable for remote work and digital nomads. Many find it ideal for a mid-term stay with plenty of local amenities, green spaces, and an active expat scene.

The architecture and historical charm of the old town are major draws, as are the modern, walkable neighborhoods like San Lorenzo and Feria. There’s a lively social scene, with numerous bars, restaurants, and cultural spots. However, summer brings extreme heat and a dry climate, which several reviewers found uncomfortable and a deal-breaker for long-term or year-round living. The city also has a more traditional or conservative cultural atmosphere, which may not appeal to everyone.

Overall, Seville strikes a great balance between tradition, affordability, and modern comforts for both short and extended stays.

Amazing city for a week or two. Really beautiful and tons to do. Loved walking around the streets when I wasn't working!

Spent a month in Seville and had a blast. Quality of AirBnBs was great with 100MBPS internet to placate Zoom calls. I stayed in San Lorenzo / Feria / which was a trendy, LGBTQ+ vibe with countless tapas bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and beautiful young Spanish people. I much preferred it to Triana, which seems to be more touristy nowadays despite being billed as an “authentic” experience. The old town is great for a weekend to do the major historical and tourist attractions which are well worth doing - some stunning architecture and a lot of interesting history stretching back a couple thousand years. You can join the Sevillians and jog along the river in the evening, go kayaking, sip a beer at midday, or just chill on the rooftop of your apartment. It’s also quite international - a lot of expats from all over. This is a good place to set up a mid term base.

Seville is great. One of the best cities in Spain by far. I have been living here for 15 years. It's really safe, has lot of party, good weather and it's cheap (compared to the rest of Spain). You're 1h away from the beach and the montains. Free speech, real democracy values, and amazing police forces. Really respectful with LGTBI, women, foreings. There is no racism. Lots of "guiris"

Well, SEVILLE is definitely my favourite city from the ANDALUSIAN region of SPAIN.
The old town, the buildings and the view from outside is quite marvelous. It has a typical imperial feeling when you walk over there, or maybe I was too drunk. :)
For nomads, it might be the place where you can stay for a longer period of time.

3,000 remote workers in Seville now, of which 4+ members checked in (some members are set to private)

Members who will be here soon

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
