Why visit san sebastian.

San Sebastian is a perfect destination for a weekend getaway or a  holiday weekend , but to get the most out of the city it’s advisable to spend 3 or 4 days , this way you will be able to enjoy its beaches, restaurants and excursions to the fullest. The mere fact of strolling around its streets full of charm, walking along its  beaches  or indulging in a whimsy tasting of the  best pintxos  in town could be just a few reasons to visit Donostia.

The foreign tourism that the city receives does it not only for its unquestionable beauty but also mainly due to the reputation that its cuisine has far from our borders. This outstanding cuisine drives a  great number of visitors to come to Donosti in order to discover the best food and tastes . Michelin-starred restaurants are in high demand by those who visit us following the recommendations of the most prestigious gastronomic magazines in the world. However, if you are planning to go to one of these restaurants, we recommend that you book your table in advance as it is often difficult to get a reservation at short notice, especially in the summer, when more people visit the city.

In addition to the  famous restaurants , the  cider houses  (commonly known as “sidrerías”), and primarily the cider houses of Astigarraga and Hernani,  are a distinct “must to do” within the Basque culinary culture . If you’ve never been to one before, you should definitely try them on your next visit. It is a unique and very advisable experience, not only for the food and the cider but also for the good atmosphere and the laughter you get with the famous Txotx!

If you  come in summer  you can take advantage of the good weather and go to one of  its beaches . The best thing about them is that they  are located in the heart of the city , which gives them an unparalleled charm. Recently,  ‘ La Concha ’ beach has been named the best beach in Europe and the sixth in the world by Tripadvisor users  (Year 2017).

If you travel with the youngest members of the house, you will also find  a lot to do with your children in San Sebastian . The  Aquarium , for example, is a must see. It is one of the largest in Europe and is the attraction that receives more tourists throughout the year. Riding the tourist train is another good way to see the city at a glance while the children have a great time, just like the tourist bus. Undoubtedly these two options are highly recommended to see San Sebastian with the little ones and, this way, they do not get too tired.

Another good option is to visit to the  top of Monte  Igueldo , where in addition to seeing the curious amusement park, you will have the best views of San Sebastian and the bay of La Concha. You can either take ‘the funicular’ (cable car), go by bus, or for the most adventurous, trek up to the top.

For film lovers, the  San Sebastian Film Festival , one of the most prestigious film festivals in Europe, will be a must, where the main stars of Spanish and international cinema congregate every year. Likewise, the Jazz Festival is another of the highlights of the summer, together with the celebration of the festivities of ‘Semana Grande’ of San Sebastian, where the international fireworks competition is its highlight.

How to travel to San Sebastian

San Sebastian has easy access by train and bus, although its airport ( Hondarribia airport ) is somewhat more limited, and unless you fly from Madrid or Barcelona, the access by plane is more complicated.

One option in this case, if you want to  come by plane , is to fly to Bilbao and then transfer to Donosti with the hourly bus connection from Bilbao airport (17€ one way). In just one hour you will be at the bus station in the heart of the city, next to the train station. You can also search for flights to Biarritz in France, which is very close to San Sebastian.

If you  come by car , it is best to park it in the hotel car park or in a public car park during your stay in the city. The best way to get around Donosti is by walking or taking the bus in certain cases, but it is not worthwhile to get around in your own vehicle as it is difficult to park and the distances are too short to get around by car. Our recommendation is that you forget about it while you enjoy the city.

Do you have your accommodation?

One of the most complicated matters when it comes to coming to the capital of Gipuzkoa is undoubtedly the accommodation. The high demand for both  apartments  and  hotels in San Sebastian  strongly increases prices if not booked well in advance.

Our recommendation is to  book your accommodation as soon as possible  to ensure a good price on your reservation. On  websites like Booking  you can book your accommodation right now and cancel it up to 48 hours before your arrival, so if for whatever reason you do not make the trip, nothing happens, you cancel it and do not lose your money.  This way you can find up to 60% cheaper prices for your stay .

The best guide to San Sebastian

In our guide you will find  all the relevant information about  what to see and do in San Sebastian , so that you can get a good shot and don’t waste your time looking for information. We show you all the essential visits and day itineraries, for instance, so that you can organize yourself well and not leave anything behind.

The information you see here has been gathered from our own experience. If you see an error or believe that some information is not correct, you can contact us and we will solve it.

16 Best Things to Do in San Sebastian, Spain

By: Author Laura Bronner

Posted on Last updated: March 27, 2024

When planning your trip to northeastern Spain, you’ll want to discover all of the best things to do in San Sebastian, Spain.

In San Sebastian, rising bluffs and golden sands create a memorable picture frame. They act as delightful boundaries and present experiences that put you in touch with the utter beauty of Basque Country. But what lies within the frame, the picture itself, is much more grand.

Like any work of art, the more you study it, the more unique wrinkles and discoveries you uncover. Enjoying the best things to do in San Sebastian is like that, albeit within a compact space.

Split by ancient walls, the city’s old and new sections create a brilliant blend of past and present. Historic architecture, cultural landmarks, and the aromas of traditional cuisine add layer after layer to San Sebastian. It’s a culinary destination above all else, so foodies will want to prepare for an epic vacation.

If you are visiting this region of Spain in March or April , it’s getting warmer, but just know that it will be quite rainy. Check out full guide for what to pack for Spain to make sure you have all of the essentials.

How to Get to San Sebastian

San Sebastian lies along Spain’s northern coast and is 13 miles (21km) from the French border. Although, it’s fairly simple to get to San Sebastian, even the local airport lies in a separate municipality.

San Sebastian Airport is around 20 minutes from town and has regional connections to Madrid and Barcelona Airport .

However, if you’re flying here from an international destination, then we recommend flying to either Biarritz or Bilbao Airport which both have more diverse options. The cities are 45 and 70 minutes away, respectively.

If you prefer to take the slow and scenic route, Spanish trains and buses depart regularly for San Sebastian from Madrid . This journey takes roughly 5.5 hours.

The promenade in San Sebastian is a beautiful place to stroll any time of day.

Where to Stay in San Sebastian

There are so many great places to stay in San Sebastian. While the town is known as a hub for luxury, it’s not difficult to find affordable pensiones  and hostels.

Uma Suites Ondarreta is well located in the old town only a few blocks away from La Concha and close to tons of great restaurants and pintxos bars in San Sebastian. Rooms are clean and simple and the price is unbeatable at €50 per night. Book a stay at Uma Suites Ondarreta here .

Enjoy Comfort is a little pension hotel located just three blocks from the beach. Locally owned, this little guest house has a few rooms with a shared bathroom and free coffee and tea facilities. It’s cleaner and more comfortable than a hostel and a good option for couples who want more privacy than a hostel.

Rooms start at €78 per night. Book a stay at Enjoy Comfort here .

Looking out over La Concha, guests will enjoy fabulous views from Hotel Niza that extend far beyond the price tag. The interior is infused with bright decor and the terrace allows you to enjoy the beautiful Bay of Biscay.

The hotel restaurant is inspired by the best of Biarritz and your excellent location means your steps from the water and minutes from the Old Town. Rooms start at €120. Book a stay at Hotel Niza here .

You can save money without losing on location with a stay at Hotel Parma . On the edge of the Old Town, this hotel looks over La Zurriola Bay, steps away from the town’s best surf. The family-run hotel comes with comfortable and bright rooms with a daily buffet breakfast. 

Rooms start at €125 per night. Book a stay at Hotel Parma here .

Near the celebrated Calle 31 de Agosto lies the beloved Hotel Maria Cristina . The architectural masterpiece, set along the Urumea River, is the height of luxury.

Draped in Belle époque elegance, your upscale room comes with great views, marble bathrooms, and rain showers. Downstairs lies a fine dining restaurant, and guests will be a brief stroll away from the heart of the Old Town.

Rooms start at €325 per night. Book a stay at Hotel Maria Cristina here .

15 Things to Do in San Sebastian

These are 15 of the best things to do in San Sebastian. Whether it’s your first time to this stunning beach town in Spain or you’re back for another summer in the Spanish sun, this list should help give you some fun new ideas. 

San Sebastian’s Old Town is a beautiful place to explore and one of the best things to do in San Sebastian.

1. Wander the Old Town

Wondering what to do in San Sebastian? Exploring the city’s Old Town is a great way to get acquainted with this beloved Spanish beach town. Known as Parte Vieja, the historic core lies between the Alameda del Boulevard and the heights of Monte Urgull .

San Sebastian provides visitors with a relaxed pace of life.

However, the history, eye-catching architecture, and the movements of locals provide this part of town with a pulsating atmosphere.

At its heart lies the Plaza de la Constitución. This sprawling public square brings locals and visitors together as one. The former bullfighting space is surrounded by lovely wrought-ironed balconies.

Wander without agenda down the many old, cobbled streets to find traditional Basque tapas and pintxos eateries. Plus, the historic Gothic church, Iglesia de San Vicente , is the oldest in the city.

2. Experience Mercado de la Bretxa

The history of San Sebastian will draw you in as much as the beauty found at along the coast. At Mercado de la Bretxa , you can wander back to 1870, when San Sebastian’s most prominent market began.

Mercado de la Bretx is a fixture of the Old Town. Not only does the facade of the market delight the eyes, but it’s also the perfect introduction to the city’s fabulous Basque cuisine. The cornerstone of this culinary delight is the quality of its fresh produce.

Come and explore the range of complex cheeses, fruits, and meats to create your own charcuterie picnic to enjoy at the beac. All the while, you can soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the traditional stalls. 

Santa Clara Island is well worth seeing up close.

3. See Santa Clara Island Up Close

Inevitably, you’ll find yourself soaking in the Spanish sun at La Concha Beach. From here, you’ll have a stunning view of Santa Clara Island. The vista will only tempt you to see it up close.

The island is surrounded by rugged rocks like. Santa Clara, in all its quaint beauty, is a welcome departure from the happening waterfront. Exploring it is one of the top San Sebastian activities.

You can paddle out to the island on kayak, but many prefer the helping hand of Motoros de la Isla and their boats. Once here, you can explore the natural swimming pools at high tide.

If the tide is out, a remote beach is exposed with memorable views. Afterward, check out the historic 1864 lighthouse before settling in for drinks and snacks at the resident beach bar.

4. Explore Montes Urgull & Igueldo

The town is surrounded by two beautiful bluffs, Monte Urgull and Monte Igueldo.

To start, we suggest heading up Monte Urgull . First, head to San Sebastian’s aquarium to connect with the Paseo Nuevo. Here, you’ll rise above Parte Vieja and wander around the tip of the hill that’s crowned by the alluring 12th-century Castillo de la Mota fortress .

Later, refuel with some tapas and take your weary legs to the other side of the bay. Here, you can ride the funicular to the top of Monte Igueldo , 600 feet (182m) above the sea.

On arrival, a mix of San Sebastian, the Basque countryside, and the arch of La Concha Beach provide a feast for the eyes. Oh, and there’s an amusement park here too!

Explore all of the different churches and cathedrals in San Sebastian.

5. Admire Buen Pastor Cathedral

The Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, AKA Buen Pastor Cathedral , was completed in 1888. It lies in the newer part of town and is the biggest and most striking religious complex in San Sebastian.

Built from sandstone sourced from the subterranean wares of Monte Igueldo, the Neo-Gothic cathedral is highlighted by its 250ft central tower. The facade is simple yet breathtaking. The collection of spires, the colors of the sandstone, and the surrounding greenery fit together like puzzle pieces.

Yet, it’s what lies within that will leave the greatest impression. The enormous interior, spread across 20,600 square feet (1,913 sq meters), requires more than just a moment to take in.

Stained-glass windows line the walls, creating a kaleidoscopic effect. Lying at the end of the ethereal cathedral is the cathedral’s organ.

6. Take a Food Tour

Lying on the coastal edge of the rolling Basque countryside, San Sebastian is a foodie haven. It’s a place where you can eat as you stroll, popping in and out of local establishments to refuel on famous pintxos.

You’ll quickly start to get the hang of it. But to truly become an expert in Basque cuisine, one requires a local tour guide . Across your five stops, each paired with fantastic local wines, you’ll get to know the traditional flavors, each with its own story to tell.

On this food tour , you’ll also dive into San Sebastian’s Old Town to discover its impressive past that has evolved into a pintxos mecca. Your friendly, expert guide will help peel back the layers behind both the past and the evolution of the local cuisine. Book a food tour here .

Pintxos are a must-try when you are in San Sebastian.

7. Sunbathe on La Concha Beach

La Concha Beach is the white sand welcome mat set between San Sebastian and the spectacular waters of La Concha Beach. It’s this very bay, this soft sand and these gentle waves that have made this town so famous around Europe.

Its alluring Belle époque aura, thanks to the backdrop of classic buildings, is a pleasant reminder of Queen Maria Cristina. The queen’s pronouncement of La Concha being a Royal Beach made the city one of the most popular places for royals and dignitaries from around Europe to visit.

Today, all you have to do is lay down the beach towel and revel in the mix of golden sands and cobalt blue seas. For more action, kayak along the shores or wander the gorgeous Paseo de la Concha.

8. Try the Best Pintxos (Calle 31 de Agosto)

After your food tour, you’ll know a thing or two about pintxos. But when the cravings for these mouthwatering creations arise, where should you go? The answer is, Calle 31 de Agosto .

This convivial street is lined with pintxos bars serving up this traditional treat in all the right ways. Spread along the historic street, with architectural highlights of its own (hello, Basilica de Santa María del Coro), you’ll be faced with seemingly endless choices.

If you’re unfamiliar with pintxos, they are the Basque equivalent of tapas. Most often they are served on a slice of crusty bread and can range from fried seafood to sliced meat and cheese. They are usually pre-prepared and ready at the bars to have with a drink as a light snack. 

The best way to handle the smorgasbord of options is to enjoy just one at each establishment. Not only does this keep the appetite alive, but doing so allows you to experience a brilliant mix of atmospheres, not to mention the vibe of one of the city’s best thoroughfares. No wonder it’s one of the top attractions in San Sebastian.

San Sebastian is moody during the spring and early summer, making it great hiking weather, but not ideal beach weather.

9. Sightsee from The Water

So, you’ve seen the water from the land, but how about the land from the water? San Sebastian’s resident Bahia de la Concha is a small bay packed with highlights and you can see them all from the water.

Meeting at Donostiako Port, this catamaran experience takes you out into the bay for memorable panoramic views. As you glide across the turquoise waters, you’ll cruise by major highlights. These include the beautiful Oteiza sculpture and the impressive Paseo Nuevo sea wall as you make your way into the bay.

Soon, you’ll pass Peine del Viento sculpture and, once again, see Santa Clara Island. All while the mountains of Urgull and Igueldo stand like trustworthy companions. It all reaches its pinnacle when the Miramar Palace comes into view alongside the Pico del Loro. Book that boat tour here .

10. Experience San Sebastian Architecture

If you can’t get enough of San Sebastian’s captivating architecture and plethora of landmarks, then we have just the solution. Alongside a born-and-raised San Sebastian guide, you can take in all the must-see attractions.

This small-group tour begins on Boulevard Street along the 19th-century city walls that split the Old and New towns. It’s an appropriate spot to start ticking off the architectural highlights along the serpentine inner-city streets.

As you go, you’ll have the chance to see not only the iconic sights, but also the beloved local gems like the Hotel de Londres, Maria Cristina, and the Victoria Eugenia Auditorium. Like any good San Sebastian walking tour, it ends with a round of pintxos at a traditional bar. Book that architecture tour here.

San Sebastian is packed with tourists in August thanks to the good weather and European summer holidays.

11. Take a Basque Cooking Class

In San Sebastian you don’t eat while you visit, you visit while you eat. However, it’s one thing to experience the culinary brilliance of this port town. It’s a whole other thing to leave with some helpful tricks to recreate the tapas and pintxos in your own kitchen.

To aid in this, take part in a hands-on cooking class that unveils the secrets of Basque cuisine. The class is held within a real, family-run restaurant. This allows you to enjoy a class not just with a professional chef but in a unique environment too.

Across two and a half hours, you’ll learn how to create four iconic dishes, all before enjoying the fruits of your labor and trying your own creations. Book the Basque cooking class here .

12. Taste the Best of La Rioja Wineries

Arguably Spain’s most famous wine region, La Rioja, lies just two hours south of San Sebastian. The scenic drive takes you away from the coast, through Pamplona, and into the magical countryside.

The best way to visit the region as a day trip is to take a wine tour from San Sebastian. On arrival, you’ll have your choice of celebrated wineries spread among the beauty of northern Spain. The region is spread into eastern and western zones with different climates, leading to a welcome diversity of vinos.

Although the drive to the region and the flexibility of having a rental car is helpful. You can really indulge and leave the driving to your guide with this experience . You’ll also be able to go behind the scenes, discover local wine-making practices, and explore the medieval village of Laguardia. Book the wine tour here .

San Sebastian is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities in Spain along the coast.

13. Visit Gaztelugatxe and Guggenheim

Game of Thrones may have come and gone, and some fanfare was lost among that odd 8th season. However, the film sites still make for great side trips with the history and visual accuracy creating a portal to the world of GOT.

Ninety minutes from San Sebastian lies the 10th-century fort of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe , or, as you may know it, Dragonstone. The impressive fort makes the 241-step climb more than worth it, with its historic charm and spectacular views.

With a chance to rest your feet, take a brief trip into the city of Bilbao . Here, you’ll find the iconic Guggenheim Museum. The unforgettable architecture makes way for fascinating exhibits showcasing contemporary art.

Book a tour that visits both as a day trip here .

14. Ride the Waves at Zurriola Beach

On the other side of Monte Urgull lies another sandy cove to enjoy during your time in San Sebastian. Where La Concha is all about relaxation, Zurriola Beach is all about action.

Depending on the time of year, the swells at Zurriola Beach can soar to heights of over six feet (1.8 meters). During the spring and summer, you’ll find beginner-friendly swells allow for the perfect sunset surf.

If you didn’t come to San Sebastian with your shortboard, you’ll find several rental shops in town and along the beachfront. Some will even offer lessons for newbies or those looking to take the next step. When it’s time to chill, Zurriola Beach has ample sand to laze about.

There are so many sculptures around the coastline that you can only see if you get out on a boat to explore.

15. Enjoy a Day Trip to Biarritz

Forty-five minutes northeast of San Sebastian is the beach town of Biarritz. Overflowing with elegance, the beloved resort town shares the same royal beginnings as San Sebastian. Ever since Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, arrived in the 1800s, Biarritz has grown in popularity.

It makes for an easy day trip from your hotel and provides a lovely change of scenery further along the Bay of Biscay. As you admire the rolling waves of the, you’ll notice the dramatic coastline that lies in stark contrast to the town’s prestigious architecture. The difference makes Biarritz very easy on the eyes.

Like San Sebastian, you can visit great restaurants along the promenades, while even better surfing waits for those who want to chase the perfect break. Book a day tour to Biarritz here .

16. Listen to Music at Jazzaldia

Every summer, jazz lovers descend upon San Sebastian for a week of wonderful music.

The San Sebastian International Jazz Festival, known as Jazzaldia, happens each year in July. In 2024, it will take place from 23-28 July. It is the oldest jazz festival in Spain and has had acts like Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Simple Minds, and Patti Smith to name a few.

You can listen to the music for free if you get to the beach early enough to get a spot on the sand. You can also get tickets to some of the larger shows which give you access to be close to the stage.

You can learn more about the acts that are playing this year as well as get access to tickets on the Jazzaldia website .

19 Absolute Best Things to Do in San Sebastián | Spain’s Basque Country

San Sebastián is the Basque country’s culinary capital. If you’re a foodie, then this is your paradise. Did you know, Spain’s Basque Country boasts the highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world? Having a meal here is just one of many top  things to do in San Sebastián .

San Sebastián’s appeal stretches beyond its plates of pintxos . Overlooking the crescent-shaped Bay of Concha, San Sebastián is located on Spain’s northern coastline set amongst scenic mountains making it an impossibly charming city. After spending 5 days exploring, relaxing, and eating my way through San Sebastián I’ve come up with the ultimate list of the best things to do in the San Sebastián.

Going to the Basque Country? Enrich your travels with my free Basque travel phrase guide plus audio. I also have a Spanish phrase guide too!

San Sebastián & Donostia – The City with Two Names

San Sebastián actually has two names – San Sebastián is its Spanish name and Donostia is its name in the local Basque language called Euskara. While they look completely different, that both mean “Saint Sebastián”. In the Basque language, dona/done/doni means “saint” and is derived from Latin word domine . The second part, -stia contains a shortened form of the saint’s name.

Here are the Best things to do in San Sebastián

1. stroll along the seaside at la concha promenade.

Essential information

Address – Kontxa Pasealekua, 20007 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain Admission  – Free Opening hours – 24 hours. Sunrise and Sunset are especially magic. Reviews – Read Tripadvisor reviews of La Concha Promenade

2. See the Peine del Viento sculptures

Completed in 1976, the sculptural group is made up of three curved steel sculptures that are welded into huge granite rocks located in direct contact with the sea. Strong winds and huge sea waves crash upon this area with great intensity and through a system of holes in the ground waves explode into the air in high columns. This place is even more spectacular on stormy days or when there is a heavy swell.

Peine del Viento gets its name from the combination of the shape of a twisted comb (peine) seen in the sculptures, along with the characteristic wind (viento) in the area.

Address – Eduardo Chillida Pasealekua, s/n, 20008 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain Admission  – Free Opening hours – 24 hours Reviews – Read Tripadvisor reviews of Peine del Viento

3. Explore the Old Town (Parte Vieja)

San Sebastián’s Old Town dates back to medieval times but much of it was rebuilt after a fire devastated the city in 1813. Highlights include the Municipal Museum San Telmo, the Gothic church of St. Vincente,  the Baroque basilica of Santa María del Coro, and the stunning Plaza de la Constitución with its arcades and balconies. To learn more about San Sebastián’s history, join a guided walking tour of the Parte Vieja or a pintxos tour.

The Parte Vieja takes on a whole new atmosphere as patrons spill out onto the streets around lunch and dinner times to enjoy an endless variety of tantalizing pintxos. Pintxos is the Basque Country’s answer to the Spanish tapas. Local specialities include deep-fried cod, marinated anchovies, handmade croquettes, and of course tortilla de patatas (potato omelette). Tips on where to eat in San Sebastián coming up shortly!

Address – Start at Calle Mayor and walk to the end to see Basílica de Santa María del Coro before taking any side street.

4. See the bullet holes in San Sebastián’s City Hall

If you looking closely you can still see bullet holes on the facade of the building as a result of the fighting that took place here during the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939) between the nationalists and republicans.

It wasn’t until 1947 that the City Council moved its headquarters here from the Plaza de la Constitución. Today, San Sebastián’s City Hall faces the quiet Alderdi Eder gardens, an essential stopping point for those looking to relax after wandering along the promenade.

Address – Ijentea Kalea, 1, 20003 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain Admission  – Free Opening hours – Monday – Friday 09:00 – 14:00 Reviews – Read Tripadvisor reviews of San Sebastián’s City Hall

8. Take the Funicular up to Monte Igueldo for Exceptional Panoramic Views

Those with a family in tow can have a fun day out at the Parque de Atracciones de Monte Igueldo amusement park located here which features charming carousels and a traditional wooden roller coaster.

You’ll be happy to know that all rides are reasonably priced so you won’t break the bank. There are food stands and a restaurant with a balcony where you can enjoy your meal with a view.

If you’re looking for something more sophisticated, head to Hotel Mercure Monte Igueldo, for a drink on their outdoor terrace or dine in their elegant restaurant. Extend your stay and book a room in their hotel.

Not to be missed is the 16th-century El Torreón tower which you can climb for views of the lighthouse and the rolling hills of the Basque countryside to the west.

Unless you have a car and prefer to drive, the best way to reach the top is by taking the funicular.

Address The funicular is located at Funikular Plaza, 4, 20008 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain at the far end of Playa de Ondarreta near the Royal Tennis Club.

Learn about the cultural heritage of the Basque country at Museo de San Telmo, the biggest museum for Basque history from prehistoric times to the present day. The museum building is equally impressive occupying both a 16th-century Dominican convent and Renaissance-era buildings.

Over 26,000 historic artefacts are on display here providing an interesting insight into the country’s past.  The collection is divided into four key areas including fine arts, history, archaeology, and ethnology. In the fine arts area are paintings, drawings, and sculptures by El Greco, Rubens, Morán, and Ribera alongside Basque artists such as Arteta, Echagüe, Salaberría, Ugarte, and Zuloaga.

The history exhibit showcases weapons from the 15th century to the present day and the archaeology exhibit includes a collection of ceramics, coins, and pre-Columbian artefacts.

15. Eat the World’s Best Cheesecake at La Viña

People from all over flock to La Viña bar and restaurant who critics claim make the “World’s Best Cheesecake”. La Viña bakes upwards of 100 cheesecakes a day so it’s fair to say they’ve definitely mastered the art of this mouthwatering crustless cheesecake (gazta tarta).

The caramelised cheesecake is a cross between a dense New York-style cheesecake and Spanish flan and for just 5,00 € each serving comes with two slices, which you won’t want to share. At least, I didn’t!

Address – 31 de Agosto Kalea, 3, 20003 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain Price   – 5,00 € for two slices Opening hours – Tuesday to Sunday 11:00 – 16:00 and 19:30 – 23:30 Reviews – Read Tripadvisor reviews of La Viña

17. Visit the 12th-century Castillo de la Mota

Adorning the top the castle is a 12-meter high sacred heart statue (Cristo de la Mota) watching over the city by Frederico Coullaut who completed it in 1950.

Today, the castle is home to the Casa de la Historia (History House Museum) which documents the city’s 800-year history. Explore the museum with a tour guided by audio-visuals, models, objects and scenographies.

The walk to the top is lovely and for the most part, is shaded. The path up can be reached from Kaiko Pasealekua where the boats are or from the streets behind Basílica de Santa María del Coro. On a hot day, I recommend cooling off with a beer or ice-cream at Polboriña, a small cafe located near the castle with outdoor seating and gorgeous views of Santa Clara island.

Address – 82G6+2C Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain Admission  – Free Opening hours

• Every day from 11:00 to 20:00 (July 1 – August 31)

Reviews – Read Tripadvisor reviews of Castillo de la Mota

18. Visit Iglesia de San Vicente, San Sebastián’s oldest church

The church you see today was built during the first half of the 16th century under the Gothic style. Before entering the church, notice the sculpture of “La Piedad”, by the artist Jorge Oteiza on the church’s facade. Church of San Vicente is home to one of the best Romanesque altarpieces and highlights of the church, made by Ambrosio de Bengoechea in collaboration with Juanes de Iriarte.

A fun little fact I learned is that those who are christened in here are called “koxkeros”, after the stones protruding from the church (koxka in Basque).

Address – San Juan Kalea, 15, 20003 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain Admission  – Free Reviews – Read Tripadvisor reviews of Saint Vincent Church

19. Spoil your taste buds with a Pintxos and Ice-cream

A local tradition is to sample a local ice-cream so don’t be shy, try one, two or three San Sebastián’s ice creams in any of its ice-cream shops which boast a wide range of flavours.

Not sure where to start? For recommendations on where to eat in San Sebastián , see the section below!

Where to eat in San Sebastián

Let your taste buds take you on a tour of San Sebastián with these tasty restaurant recommendations.  A quick word of warning. If you’re vegan or vegetarian (like me), finding pintxos that meet your dietary requirements will be very difficult. The closest you’ll get is a tortilla de patatas, but you can’t just have this for every meal. My advice is to stick to dining in a restaurant where you’ll have more options. I also found this vegetarian pintxos tour which I’m annoyed I didn’t see earlier.

Here are all the places me and my friends ate at and recommend.

Old Town Coffee

Address : Reyes Catolicos Kalea, 6, 20006 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain Opening times: Tuesday-Saturday 09:00 – 18:00 / Sunday 09:00 – 13:00

La Casa Vergara

Address: Calle Mayor, 21, 20003 San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, Spain Opening times: Everyday 11:00 to 24:00

La Cuchara de San Telmo

La Cuchara de San Telmo is well-known for preparing some of the best dishes in Basque cuisine. I must admit that nothing on the menu appealed to me as a vegetarian (I ate at a nearby restaurant afterwards) but nonetheless, my friends absolutely loved it.

Unlike most pintxo bars in San Sebastián, everything at La Cuchara de San Telmo is made to order based on what’s in season. For this reason, I recommend arriving early, no later than 20:00 otherwise you risk waiting in the long queue and once you get your food, you’ll have to eat it standing up outside. There is very little space inside and tables outside fill up quickly.

Everything here is good, or so my meat-eating girlfriends tell me. Some vegetarian options are available but to be honest, I’ve never liked French Onion soup :P

Address: Santa Korda Kalea, 4, 20003 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain

Opening times:

• Tuesday – Friday 19:30–00:00
• Saturday – Sunday 12:00 – 15:30 and 19:30 – 23:30.
• Monday closed

Xibaris Restaurante

I had one of my better vegetarian meals here. I had probably the best patatas bravas of the trip here and a large garden salad. It might look small from the outside but there is additional seating available downstairs. The service was excellent too.

Address: San Jeronimo Kalea, 20, 20003 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain Opening times: Monday – Tuesday 11:00 – 16:00 / Wednesday – Sunday 11:30 – 00:00

Address: Narrika Kalea, 10, 20003 Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain Opening times: Everyday 11:00 – 01:00

Getting Around San Sebastian

San Sebastián is a very walkable city so it’s unlikely you’ll need to use public transportation to get around the city centre.

DBus is San Sebastián public bus network. Fares cost €1.70 (€2.10 at night) and can be bought on board from the drive. Buses run from 07.30 to 22.30 after which a limited night bus service continues until about 04:00. One of the most useful routes is bus 16, which connects the city centre with Monte Igueldo.

Taxis are available 24hrs a day with official rates in place which operate with a taximeter. unlike in other cities, taxis in San Sebastián do not normally stop when hailed down in the street. The best idea is to head for a taxi rank or phone Taxidonosti +34 943 46 46 46 or Vallina Teletaxi +34 943 40 40 40.
