Download GuideSan Sebastian is the kind of place you come to to do nothing and just chill. The city is very inexpensive which is very nice for those traveling on a budget.
Insider Tip:Hike the trail on the northeast side of town. Well worth it.
I LOVED San Sebastian and will certinaly be going back! It has been my favourite place I have visited in 2 months of travelling. Perfect if you love the beach, relaxing and going out at night.
Insider Tip:Swim to the island from the beach, it's a relatively quick swim, and the feeling of arriving at the beach is definately worth it!!
You go to San Sebastian for two things, one is the bars and nightlife (and there is plenty as you would expect in Spain) you can eat and drink all night, and then during the day you do the other thing in San Sebastian to do, go to the beach and surf/swim, kayak, sunbathe etc. Lovely setup for a town but be prepared for crowds and a bit of bustle cause it sure is busy on the beaches!
Insider Tip:Head up to San Sebastian or at least part of the way to watch the sunset, truely awesome! Also note that the Alsa ticket office is up the road slighty from the bus stop location it is on Av Sancho El Sablo
Amazing City!! Not too touristy yet and laid back by day and great night life at night. Completely worth going to and would say to stay at least a weekend or 2 to 3 nights. The beaches are great and one of them is a surfing beach.
Insider Tip:Do a pub crawl run by a hostel called "the hostel on the hill"(or some name like that) it only cost 15 euros and the bars they take you to have great drink deals. Didn´t spend much and got a lot of free drinks.
