Exploring San Sebastian for Two Days

  1. Day 1: The Beauty of San Sebastian
    10 minutes (5.5 km) from San Sebastian Airport

    Start your first day by visiting the Monte Igueldo Amusement Park. Situated on top of a hill, this park offers stunning vistas of San Sebastian, stretching out to the sea. Take a ride on the antique carousel and the roller coaster, both of which date back to the early 20th century. Then head to La Concha Beach, a crescent-shaped beach surrounded by lush green landscapes. Spend some time sunbathing, swimming or strolling on the promenade. In the evening, visit the Old Town (Parte Vieja) of San Sebastian, where you'll find numerous pintxos bars and traditional restaurants. Savor some of the best Basque cuisine and nightlife experiences in the city.

  2. Day 2: Cultural and Natural Wonders
    20 minutes (8 km) from Parte Vieja

    On your second day, start by visiting San Telmo Museum, which is located in a 16th century convent building. You can learn about Basque history, culture, and art through a variety of multimedia displays. After that, wander around the Ulmendi Park and witness the tranquility of the park's landscape. Then, take a short bus ride to Peine del Viento, a spectacular public sculpture made of steel that sits on the rocks at the edge of the coast. Watch the waves strike the rocks and see the seagulls swirling around. You will never feel anything short of divine pleasure.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, you can discover more historical and cultural sites in the area, such as The Naval Museum or the San Sebastian Aquarium. If you have some extra days, you can also take a day trip to the nearby town of Hondarribia, one of the most picturesque towns in the Basque Country. On the other hand, if you have limited time, you can skip any of the suggested locations on the itinerary. But we suggest you not to do so!
