Can anyone provide information on parking in Seville. It seems that it is very expensive and hard to find. Few hotels have parking, and although there are some city/public lots (12-20Euro) security seems to be a big problem. Does anyone know if it is theft of the car or break-in's into cars or am I misreading this altogether. I haven't read about this problem in another city in Spain.

We have only 4 days and had really planned on staying in the city center, and don't want to spend the time traveling in from a suburban location. Other than the car issue,personal safety doesn't seem to be a problem in Seville any more than any other city - is this correct?

Any information and any tips on secure (and cheap) parking would be appreciated. Thanks to all.

If you are going to be there for 4 days, why have a car? There is no "cheap" parking and driving can be a pain. If it's your own car, then you might consider leaving it out at the airport and taking a taxi into the city. If it's a rental, then just drop it off and pick up another one when you're ready to leave.

We ditched ours at our hotel (Dona Maria) which is in the best location in the world. We didn't even think about it for days. I'm not sure what they charged to park it for us.

thanks for the replies, without a long story, we have to keep the car - its a lease not a rental. We'll contact the hotel and see what they recommend.

There was a parking garage of sorts near the train station where we returned our rental car. I would definitely park it there and leave it for the four days.

We had a car and just left it in the hotel garage - perfectly safe no problem. I think it was about $20 per night (way cheaper than it would be here).
