Location & what to see

Pension Aries is at San Jeronimo 22, in San Sebastián’s Old Town, among pedestrian streets lined with historic buildings, bars and shops. The Basilica of Santa María is 80 m away and the Church of San Vicente is 140 m away. The San Telmo Museum is 130 m away, and the Alde Zaharreko Azoka market is 260 m away. The area is well suited to exploring on foot, although the streets can remain lively at night.

Mota Castle is 280 m away and Urgull Park is 330 m away; both offer a chance to explore local history and enjoy walks outdoors without going far from the old town. La Concha beach is one of the nearby attractions at 740 m, while Ondarreta is 1.3 km away. San Sebastián railway station is 950 m away and the bus station is 1.1 km away. San Sebastián Airport is 15 km away. The area is pedestrianised and the property has no parking, so arriving by public transport or on foot is particularly practical.

For a cultural day out, the San Telmo Museum and the Aquarium, 540 m away, offer two different visits; the Basque Maritime Museum is 440 m away. Urgull has paths and viewpoints, while La Concha and Ondarreta are good for a walk by the sea and a swim in the warmer months. In summer, Semana Grande livens up the city with celebrations and activities; in September, the International Film Festival brings screenings and visitors. In the old town, you can combine these visits with a stop at the market or one of the nearby restaurants.
