Our pick of the best things to do in San Sebastián

Whether you live in the city or fancy a getaway, San Sebastián always has something new to offer. Bathed by the Bay of La Concha, considered one of the most beautiful in Europe, the food capital of Guipúzcoa blends urban beaches, a charming old town and cuisine that's a world-class benchmark.

Culture and heritage: San Sebastián's must-sees

Even if you already know them by sight, these key spots in the city are always worth another visit. From the perfect curve of La Concha beach to the lanes of the Parte Vieja, these are places that never lose their appeal, whether you're showing them to a visitor or rediscovering them yourself.

La Concha Beach

Considered one of the most beautiful urban beaches in Europe, La Concha Beach forms an almost perfect bay sheltered by Mount Igueldo and Mount Urgull, with fine sand and calm waters all year round.

Its seafront promenade, with its iconic white wrought-iron railing, is one of the most photographed spots in the city, perfect for a stroll in any season.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Playa de la Concha, 20007 San Sebastián
  • Hours: open 24/7

Parte Vieja: the historic pintxo district

Rebuilt after the 1813 fire, the Parte Vieja is San Sebastián's historic and gastronomic heart, with narrow streets packed with pintxo bars considered among the best in Spain.

Wandering through it at aperitif time, hopping from bar to bar to try different specialities, is one of the most authentic experiences any visitor can have in the city.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Parte Vieja, 20003 San Sebastián
  • Hours: open 24/7

Mount Igueldo

This hill, accessible via a century-old funicular opened in 1912, offers the most complete panoramic views over the Bay of La Concha, the city and the Basque coast all the way to France on clear days.

At its summit you'll also find an amusement park with over a century of history, blending nature, views and a touch of family nostalgia.

  • Price: funicular from €3.75
  • Address: Monte Igueldo, 20008 San Sebastián
  • Hours: funicular varies by season

Mount Urgull

At the opposite end of the bay, Mount Urgull is home to La Mota Castle and the statue of the Sacred Heart, with tree-lined trails winding between the remains of old military fortifications.

Climbing to the top, free and on foot, offers spectacular views over the fishing harbour and the whole bay, especially beautiful at sunset.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Monte Urgull, 20003 San Sebastián
  • Hours: accessible during daylight hours

Peine del Viento (Comb of the Winds)

This sculpture by Eduardo Chillida, located at the western end of the bay where the sea crashes against the rocks, is one of the most recognised works of urban art in Spain, fully integrated into the landscape.

Its wrought-iron shapes, placed to "comb" the wind and the waves, create a unique natural spectacle, especially impressive on rough sea days.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Paseo Eduardo Chillida, 20008 San Sebastián
  • Hours: open 24/7

Basilica of Santa María del Coro

Located right in the heart of the Parte Vieja, this 18th-century baroque basilica stands out for its elaborate stone façade, considered one of the masterpieces of Basque baroque.

Its interior, more sober than its exterior, houses the image of the Virgin of the Choir, patron saint of the city, deeply venerated by locals.

  • Price: free
  • Address: Calle 31 de Agosto, 46, 20003 San Sebastián
  • Hours: approx. 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Santa Clara Island

Located right in the centre of the Bay of La Concha, this small island is a perfect destination for a half-day trip, with a lighthouse, trails and a beach for swimming in summer.

Accessible by small boats from the harbour, it offers a unique perspective of the city from the water, with the full curve of the bay unfolding around it.

  • Price: crossing from €5
  • Address: Isla de Santa Clara, 20003 San Sebastián
  • Hours: boats vary by season

Kursaal Palace

Designed by architect Rafael Moneo, this congress centre and auditorium shaped like two translucent glass cubes is one of the city's most distinctive contemporary buildings, located at the mouth of the Urumea river.

Home to the San Sebastián International Film Festival, its night-time lighting makes it a visual landmark quite different from the rest of the old town.

  • Price: free exterior (events ticketed separately)
  • Address: Zurriola Hiribidea, 1, 20002 San Sebastián
  • Hours: exterior accessible 24/7
