Location & what to see

Pensión Donostiarra is at San Martin, 6, in a central area of San Sebastián. The Cathedral of the Good Shepherd is 180 m away and Plaza de Guipúzcoa is 370 m away; the surrounding area has shopping streets, cafés and restaurants, with easy access to the city’s main urban spaces. The Old Town and its pintxos bars are a popular part of exploring the city, and the historic centre is a five-minute walk from the guest house.

Donostia train station is 280 m away and San Sebastián Bus Station is 240 m away, making them practical landmarks for arriving without a car and getting around the area. San Sebastián Airport is 15 km away. La Concha beach is 790 m away and Zurriola beach is 1 km away; the latter is known for surfing. San Telmo Museum is 860 m away and San Sebastián Aquarium is 1.1 km away. For parking, there’s a public option nearby, available with advance reservation at a cost of €25 per day.

You can combine a walk around the bay with a visit to San Telmo Museum or the Aquarium, then continue towards the historic centre to try the local cuisine. La Concha is ideal for a walk by the sea and, in the warmer months, for enjoying the beach; Zurriola has more of a surfing scene. If you prefer an outdoor route, Monte Ulia is 2.1 km away. The nearby stations also make it easy to plan trips outside San Sebastián without relying on a car.
