San Sebastian is a coastal city on Spain’s Atlantic coast known for its beaches and historic architecture. This walking tour lasts about 90 minutes to 2 hours and starts in the city centre, moving through boulevards and cultural landmarks before reaching the Old Town. The guide explains the city’s development from the 19th century and points out key sites including City Hall, the Victoria Eugenia Theatre, Tabakalera cultural centre, and the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd. The tour then continues into the Old Town, where visitors walk narrow streets that were the site of intense historical conflict. Stops include the Market of La Bretxa, a long-standing market with shops over 190 years old, the Gothic Church of San Vicente which holds a relic older than the city, and the Plaza de la Constitucion with its hidden details. The outside of the Baroque Church of Santa Maria del Coro marks the end of the walking portion. At the final stop, those who have selected the option receive one pintxo and a drink at a traditional Old Town bar. This tasting includes local white wine and offers a chance to try San Sebastian’s food culture. This inclusion is not available for the bilingual group option. The tour is guided throughout and does not include hotel pickup or drop-off.
