Take a citytrip to San Sebastián

Discover the city

San Sebastián, the hidden gem in the green north. An elegant seaside town on what is called the most beautiful beach bay in Europe.

'Donostia' is what the Basques call their city by the sea (pronounced 'Donosti'), and for them it is the best place on earth. Since San Sebastian became European Capital of Culture in 2016, more and more travellers know how to find the city. Bilbao has the Guggenheim, San Sebastián the vibrant food culture in the pintxos bars of the Casco Viejo and other neighbourhoods, and the most beautiful urban beach bays surrounded by green mountains, such as La Concha. The culinary offering is overwhelming, the cultural offering continues to grow. San Sebastián truly relaxes and de-stresses with its healthy sea air and the smell of good food!

The nicest neighbourhoods in San Sebastián

Explore the pintxos bars of Casco Viejo, go shopping in el Centro, enjoy the beach in La Concha.
