From palaces steeped in royal history to tranquil parks offering serenity amidst the city's bustle, San Sebastian promises a rich tapestry of attractions that will appeal to all.

Visit the regal Miramar Jauregia

Staked grandly (and rightfully so) on San Sebastian's sea-front, the Miramar Jauregia gleams in all its royal splendour. This glorious palace, once the summer escape for the Spanish monarchy, now facilitates intellectual discourse as the University of Basque Country's headquarters. Don't miss the chance to visit!

Discover history and greenery at Aiete Jauregia

Make a trip to the Aiete Jauregia and its flourishing gardens nestled between the Urumea and Ibaeta districts. Infused with historical significance, the palace and its charming surroundings offer you a tranquil retreat from city bustle.

Explore the verdant Aiete Parkea

Escape to the tranquil lap of nature that is the Aiete Park, renowned for its manicured French-style gardens and century-old trees. With a peaceful pond home to ducks and swans and a refreshing waterfall, this park will be the picture-perfect embodiment of your idyllic daydreams.

Ascend the tech hill of Miramon

Located at the zenith of the city, Miramon is the hub of San Sebastián's technological marvels. The neighbourhood is festooned with modern structures, including the Basque Culinary Centre, and the open-air museum, Txillida Leku.

Relish splendid views from Igueldo Tower

The Igueldo Tower offers an unforgettable vantage point over San Sebastian. Take a thrilling funicular ride up the tower, hold your breath as the city unfolds beneath you, and then let it out as a sigh at the breath-taking views.

Destination Essentials

San Sebastian is a year-round gem, welcoming visitors with its rich tapestry of experiences. However, if beach lounging and sunbathing top your holiday agenda, visit between May to July when the Mediterranean sun is at its finest. Furthermore, San Sebastiàn is drier in the summer, with August and September brimming with cultural events.

For those seeking a blend of pleasant weather and less crowded tourist spots, October is your ideal travel time. Despite being the onset of autumn, the city still retains its summer warmth. If you're hunting for deals, winter offers discounted rates - be prepared, though, for chillier temperatures.
