Fantastic Beach in Town Centre This is a great beach, it is very wide and shallow at the beginning but you get depth quite fast and you can swim very far out. The beach itself is really nice and has all the necessary amenities. What I also like a lot is that you can go to restaurants, shops etc very easily. Last but not least the view is also amazing!

The boat ride is very charming and great views of the city once you get the funicular up. A lovely break from the hustle and bustle of the city

We stopped here for a while during a business trip to Bilbao in late 2022. This place is so relaxing. It is so calming to watch and listen to the waves crashing on the rocks. There is a hole where you can feel the sensation of the waves crashing between the rocks. It is so nice to be here even for a moment. We visited during the day and there were almost no people visiting. It was so peaceful at that time. I met a very friendly local. I asked his name at that time, but (sorry) I forgot to remember her name.. If you visit San Sebastian, you need to take some time to enjoy the waves crashing here. It was such an amazing experience. Warm regards from Indonesia, TH

A nice hike with beautiful views of the city and ocean. Saw many birds around with colorful feathers. I enjoyed walking around the fort and soaking in the scenery and seeing some history like the canons and jail cells. There were many place to sit along the way up. Recommend for a nice walk and little exercise.

We had a great visit here with the kids, the staff and displays are multilingual which makes it really accessible for all. I love that there is a maritime museum section at the start with local history and even pirate sections. The aquarium is a good size with lots of variation, enough to keep the kids engaged for at least an hour. The gift shop was good not too overpriced and the staff are friendly. All in all it is well worth adding this as a detour if visiting the local area, I will say we went for opening, by the time we finished there were big queues. Buying tickets in advance won't help as you still have to join the queue to validate them. So to avoid disappointment I would recommend getting in early.

It’s a beautiful beach at the end of San Sebastián. There’s plenty of space for a large crowd, and it’s great to watch the surfers there!

San Telmo museum is located at the old town and right at the foot of Mt. Urgull. The old part of the museum is housed in a 16th-century Dominican convent and the main entrance is the modern part and also used it for special exhibition. If you want to know more about the Basque culture and history , then this is the right place. It has a bit of everything. Paintings , archaeology , special history sessions for the last hundreds year. Interesting display of large scale murals from Josep Maria Sert.

A beautiful place to find sanctuary from the crowds or the rain. So peaceful and the stained glass is gorgeous. Not a religious visit but you can appreciate the faith and devotion of the people of San Sebastián-Donostia

Beautiful view and building with an interesting story , you’ll find panels outside explaining it

San Sebastian is the best city in the world if you love food, beer and cozyness. It can be a little busy with tourists at times

Was drawn to come here thanks to it's magnificent entrance. Only costs a couple of Euros to get in and is well worth it. A lot to see inside including the stunning architecture.

We visited on a Wednesday in mid-August, arriving around 11 a.m. There was already a line at the entrance, but it moved quickly. Entry to the park costs €2.50 per person, with separate fees for each attraction. Parking was straightforward, and the park has roughly ten attractions in total. We chose the boat ride, which cost an additional €2.30 per person for about a 90-second experience. It opened at 11:15 a.m., and we waited at least 30 minutes in line. The wait was worth it—offering stunning views over San Sebastián.

Since he was born after his father’s death, she ruled as Regent of Spain until he came of age in 1902. • During her regency, she maintained stability and modernized the country despite political challenges, including the Spanish-American War (1898), which led to the loss of Spain’s last colonies (Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines). • She was known for her conservative governance, maintaining strong ties with the Catholic Church and the military.
