Seville is widely praised as a safe and affordable city with beautiful architecture and a charming old town. The city offers fast internet, making it a dependable choice for digital nomads, and many found it suitable for both short- and medium-term stays. Neighborhoods like San Lorenzo and Feria are highlighted for their LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, nightlife, and easy access to cafés and supermarkets. The city has a strong sense of community and inclusivity, with many users noting the welcoming attitude toward foreigners and the absence of racial or gender-based issues. It’s a walkable city with a rich history worth exploring and plenty of activities like jogging, kayaking, and rooftop relaxing. Many expats and locals enjoy the lifestyle and day-to-day living here.

However, multiple reviewers emphasized that summers in Seville can be incredibly hot, to the point of being unlivable year-round for some. The climate is also very dry, and a few users mentioned the city having a generally conservative vibe. Despite these drawbacks, Seville remains a top choice for many due to its safety, affordability, and livability.

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.

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.
