Getting to the Real Betis stadium in Seville by train
When football is life, nothing stands between you and the match — not a city, country, or cross-continent journey. Get to the Real Betis stadium in Seville by train from anywhere: Madrid, Paris, and even London.

From Seville Santa Justa, take the C1 or C5 train south to Sevilla-Virgen del Rocio, then walk three-quarters of a mile to Estadio Benito Villamarín.
From Madrid
Madrid to Seville by train is very straight-forward: make your way to Madrid Atocha and head to Seville Santa Justa train station on a 2.5 to 3.5 hour journey. From Seville Santa Justa, take the C1 or C5 to Sevilla-Virgen del Rocio then walk to Estadio Benito Villamarín.

From Seville’s main train station, take the C1 or C5 train to Sevilla-Virgen del Rocio, then walk to Estadio Benito Villamarín.
