Overview: car trip from Bilbao to San Sebastian
As you drive from Bilbao to San Sebastian with Daytrip, you'll leave behind sights like the iconic Guggenheim Museum, famous for its contemporary art collection and architecture, while looking forward to San Sebastian. This lively city in Spain is only a short distance from Bilbao, but there's much to do along the way.
Instead of a direct transfer, you can enrich your trip with sightseeing stops to experience more of the Basque Country's rich history and culture. Your first sightseeing destination should be San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the medieval fortress that was "Dragonstone" in the hit series Game of Thrones.
After touring the home of the Targaryens, your professional English-speaking Daytrip driver will take you to the Sanctuary of Loyola, a beautiful Baroque complex that is a feast for the eyes. This complex was the birthplace of Saint Ignatius, and it is adorned with breathtaking sculptures and artworks that you can view during your visit.
But don't forget about Onati, Getaria, or Guernica when driving with Daytrip. Our drivers are happy to indulge your travel wishes before dropping you off in San Sebastian. World-class culinary delights, timeless beauty, Basque Country culture and history, and a small-town feel await you!
About San Sebastian
Your car trip from Bilbao will take you to San Sebastian, a beautiful city nestled along the idyllic northern coast of Spain in the Basque Country. San Sebastian's history dates back to 1180 when Sancho the Strong founded the city in what is now known as the Old Quarter. However, San Sebastian only became popular after Queen Isabel II's visit in 1845 on her doctor's advice. Her yearly visits helped the city become the resort city it is today.
Nowadays, most people visit San Sebastian for its beautiful beaches, particularly La Concha Beach, which perfectly balances urban lifestyle with natural beauty. Besides the beaches, the city is also famous for its mountains. Overlooking the Bay of Biscay, every corner of San Sebastian is postcard-worthy. Of course, the history, culture, and Michelin-starred restaurants (the 3rd most per capita in the world) also entice travelers looking for a luxurious getaway or unforgettable holiday in Europe.
So book a ride with Daytrip and prepare to be amazed by the city's quaint Old Town, lively pintxo bars, and architectural landmarks, which will have you taking another look. Depending on when you decide to visit, you can expect lots of cultural events where you can make memories that will last a lifetime. You also shouldn't miss out on visiting the city's incredible churches, museums, or mountaintop amusement parks.
From Bilbao to San Sebastian: travel tips
Traveling from Bilbao to San Sebastian is an exciting experience filled with numerous sightseeing opportunities, taste explorations, and local insights. However, the experience can be overshadowed by travel stress if you don't keep in mind the following travel tips.
You don't need to stay in expensive areas
San Sebastian is pretty small, so unless you really want a room overlooking the sea, you don't actually need to stay in the most expensive areas. For example, Parte Vieja is one of the most historic and popular places to visit but has incredibly high lodging rates. Accommodation just a few blocks away can be hundreds of dollars cheaper per night at the cost of a couple-minute walk!
Walk rather than take public transport when sightseeing
We know you're excited to sightsee, but try to avoid public transportation when visiting a new town or city with Daytrip. Once you're dropped off, most of the time, you can walk around with many of the attractions in Spain located near each other, as is the case with many other European countries.
The same applies to getting to San Sebastian. Most of the top attractions are only a mile or so apart, making walking the easiest way to get around and avoid high taxi fares.
Save your appetite for San Sebastian
The distance between Bilbao and San Sebastian is short enough that you won't work up too much of an appetite while driving or sightseeing. If you do, it's a good idea to save your appetite for when you get to the city. San Sebastian boasts some of the best food in the world, with Michelin-starred restaurants like Arzak, Mugaritz, and Akelarre offering premium cuisine worth waiting for.
How to get from Bilbao to San Sebastian
If you're ready to begin your San Sebastian adventure, you'll need to arrange transportation from Bilbao to San Sebastian, and this begins with learning your options. Below, we've discussed the easiest and most convenient options available, but you'll notice there is no flight option as there is no airport offering flights from Bilbao to San Sebastian.
From Biboa to San Sebastian by bus
Taking the bus is the second fastest way to get from Bilbao to San Sebastian, besides driving with a private car service like Daytrip or taking a taxi.
Typically, buses take about an hour and 15 minutes, and a ticket costs between $8 and $19. Unlike many other areas, this isn't the cheapest option---that distinction goes to the train. The cost of your ticket will depend on when you choose to travel and which bus line you book with. The most popular are ALSA and Flixbus.
You should also be aware that you likely won't have access to many amenities on the buses and will be unable to stop and sightsee.
From Bilbao to San Sebastian by train
The train might be the slowest way to travel from Bilbao to San Sebastian, but it is one of the more scenic options. A train trip usually takes about two hours and 40 minutes, and the train line most people book with is Euskotren.
This train line offers trips every hour on average, and tickets cost between $5 and $9, making it the most affordable way to travel between the two cities.
From Bilbao to San Sebastian by private car transfer service
Taking a taxi might be tempting, considering the short distance between the two cities, but it will be incredibly pricey. A better alternative is to book with a private car service like Daytrip.
A one-way trip starts at $62 (57 euros) per person, and if you travel directly, you'll be able to get to San Sebastian in only an hour and 10 minutes. Where Daytrip stands out is the guaranteed quality service.
You'll have an English-speaking driver who will handle your luggage when they meet you in Bilbao, and will happily share their insights on local culture on the drive to San Sebastian. They might not be a tour guide, but we can help educate you on the area and what to expect.
Even better, Daytrip lets you stop for sightseeing along the way, so you don't have to miss San Juan de Gaztelugatxe or Oñati as you cruise through Basque Country! So sit back and relax while we navigate the roads and you plan where to visit.
Things to do when you get to San Sebastian
Now that you know how to get from Bilbao to San Sebastian, you can begin planning where you will visit after you've been dropped off in the city. To help you with this portion of your planning, we've shared a few of the best things to do when you get to San Sebastian.
Visit the Old Town
It might be the most visited place in San Sebastian, but it's worth it. The Old Town is the second oldest part of the city. It lies on the foot of Mount Urgull and is surrounded by the River Urumea on one side and the sea on the other. Besides being a naturally beautiful neighborhood, you can also expect to find the Old Town to be the social hub of San Sebastian.
Several bars offer the best Pintxos in the city, and places like St Vincent's Church and the Basilica of St Mary can be toured. There are also shops and restaurants to visit.
San Telmo Museum
If you love to explore museums, you'll want to stop at the San Telmo Museum. This 16th-century museum was once a Dominican convent and a military barracks before becoming a museum.
Nowadays, it holds important relics, artworks, sculptures, and knowledge about Basque citizenship and society. There is also a small cloister and ancient church at the museum that you can visit after you've learned more about San Sebastian and what makes it a culturally significant city.
La Concha Beach
The jewel of San Sebastian is undoubtedly La Concha Beach. For years, it has been named the best beach in Spain and Europe, and it's not difficult to see why, given that it is located in the center of Santa Clara Island.
Besides its pristine shore and sparkling shallow blue waters, perfect for sunbathing and frolicking in the water, the beach also has a gorgeous promenade. You can stroll down the promenade or lean against its rails and take in the gorgeous view you won't find anywhere else in the world.
Eat!
A cornerstone of Basque culture are pintxos bars. Pintxos, the Basque version of tapas, is a culinary delight, and hopping from bar to bar to sample these small dishes is a must. San Sebastian also has 11 different Michelin-starred restaurants (some with 3 stars!).
If you've never eaten at a Michelin restaurant this is a great opportunity! While a menu at 3-starred Arzak or Martin Berasategui’s restaurant will set you back around $325 (not including a wine pairing), others, like Beti-Jai Berria or Bergara, are pintxos bars that won't break the bank!
When is the best time to visit San Sebastian?
Even though the trip from Bilbao to San Sebastian isn't far, you should still give some thought to when you're traveling. Typically, the best time to visit both Bilbao and San Sebastian is from late spring to early summer (May to June) or during early fall between September and October.
These months offer travelers pleasant weather, when it's warm enough to truly enjoy the city and all it has to offer, from beaches and museums to parks, church tours, and festivals. There's also fewer tourists, so you'll have a more authentic experience!
Although you can consider the summer months, this is peak tourist season, so there are more crowds, higher accommodation prices, and the reservation books for the best restaurants in San Sebastian are filled.

Por qué la gente ama Daytrip
- 1715 viajeros tomaron esta ruta con nosotros
“Utilicé este servicio para un traslado desde Split, en Croacia, hasta Perast, Montenegro. Mi experiencia fue excepcional. Mi conductor, Bojan, fue servicial, informativo y se aseguró de que mi viaje fuera cómodo y agradable. Recomiendo encarecidamente este servicio.”
“Quedamos extremadamente satisfechos con la calidad del servicio que recibimos de Day Trip. Tuvimos dos viajes con Day Trip el 31 de agosto de Atenas a Lefkada y el 7 de septiembre de Lefkada de regreso a Atenas. Ambos viajes incluyeron paradas en lugares pintorescos de Grecia. Ambos conductores fueron excelentes y complacientes. Sin embargo, nos gustaría especialmente reconocer a Panos Peppas, quien fue nuestro conductor de Lefkada a Atenas. Panos fue increíblemente amable y agradable, y brindó un servicio al cliente excepcional, que incluyó encargarse de todo nuestro equipaje, proporcionarnos aguas frías durante todo el viaje, darnos barritas de proteína, entregarnos material impreso sobre el Canal de Corinto (una de las paradas escénicas), buscar y facilitarnos información sobre la terminal y la puerta de nuestro vuelo de regreso a casa, y proporcionarnos una receta de tzatziki.”
La mejor empresa de transporte en cualquier lugar
“Nos encanta absolutamente esta empresa y la hemos usado muchas veces a lo largo de los años para ir de un lugar a otro sin la molestia de alquilar un coche nosotros mismos. Conductores excelentes cada vez. Eficientes y profesionales. Vale cada centavo y sinceramente recomendamos Day Trip a todos. Su calificación de 5 estrellas está totalmente merecida.”
Excelente experiencia al viajar
“Viajamos de Núremberg a Múnich en un hermoso Audi. El conductor nos recogió en nuestro hotel a la hora exacta solicitada. Nos llevó a Múnich con suficiente tiempo para nuestro próximo tour. El conductor se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos.”
Transporte seguro y a precio razonable
“Gonzalo de Daytrip fue nuestro conductor y fue absolutamente increíble. Hizo todo lo posible por localizarnos, ya que no teníamos buena señal en nuestros teléfonos. Esperó pacientemente nuestra llegada al vestíbulo para llevarnos desde el Tulum Dreams Resort a nuestro otro hotel en Cancún, a una hora y media de distancia, cerca del aeropuerto, antes de nuestro vuelo de regreso a casa. Fue educado, respetuoso y amable. Se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos durante todo el trayecto. Rápido y directo. Recomiendo esta empresa, ya que encontrar un transporte solo de ida de Tulum a Cancún no es fácil ni barato, y esta empresa ofrece un excelente servicio a un gran precio. Definitivamente los volveré a usar cuando esté en la zona de Cancún/Tulum. Gracias, Daytrip y Gonzalo.”
“Marianna nos recogió para llevarnos de Heraclión a Chania. El clima era terrible y, debido a esto, Marianna llegó unos minutos tarde. Me contactó para avisarme. Marianna vive en Chania y hizo que nuestro viaje fuera muy interesante al contarnos sobre cosas locales para hacer y ver en Chania. Marianna es una conductora segura y todos nos sentimos cómodos con la velocidad a la que conducía y lo bien que manejó bajo la fuerte lluvia. Es una persona encantadora y habla inglés con fluidez. Recomendamos mucho a Daytrip, y si estás en Heraclión o Chania, asegúrate de pedir a Marianna.”
“Utilicé el servicio para ir de Luxor a Hurghada, Egipto. Ahmed H fue nuestro conductor y fue perfecto. El coche era nuevo, estaba limpio, tenía agua y aperitivos para nosotros, y acomodó nuestras paradas. Gran servicio de su parte y lo recomendaría.”
Viajes cómodos y seguros en México
“Usamos Daytrip para dos trayectos en México, y ambos fueron geniales. Muy cómodos, y llegamos a cada destino a una excelente hora. Ambos conductores fueron increíbles, y nos sentimos muy seguros. Uno de nuestros conductores, Miguel, también puso la mejor música. Definitivamente usaremos Daytrip en nuestro próximo viaje a México.”
Una gran manera de viajar y ver algunos lugares en el camino
“No sabíamos qué esperar de este viaje y reservamos desde Australia. Inicialmente buscábamos una forma fácil de viajar de Granada a Málaga. Decidimos no perder la oportunidad de ver algo más en nuestro camino. Miguel ciertamente superó nuestras expectativas. Su inglés era excelente (lamentablemente hablamos muy poco español), y fue muy amable y servicial. Disfrutamos mucho escuchando sobre las regiones por las que pasamos y también discutiendo algunas de las costumbres locales. Miguel nos llevó a Antequera como estaba planeado y se aseguró de que pudiéramos conseguir fácilmente nuestras entradas para las atracciones sin ninguna prisa. Nos recogieron y dejaron puntualmente y realmente disfrutamos nuestro viaje. Esperamos volver a España y poder usar este servicio nuevamente en algún momento.”
Mi viaje de San Sebastián a Bilbao
“He programado un viaje desde San Sebastián a Bilbao para el 2 de junio con Daytrip para un destino planificado en lugar de tomar un tren porque la compañía ofrecía destinos de entrega entre ciudades. Fue una de mis mejores decisiones de mi visita al País Vasco, ya que Jimi, nuestro conductor/guía, fue absolutamente maravilloso. Nos dio un recorrido para recordar. Nos llevó por caminos secundarios donde el paisaje era simplemente increíble, lo que si hubiéramos conducido por nuestra cuenta ... lo habríamos perdido totalmente. El lugar de pinchos al que nos llevó era tan sabroso que tuvimos dificultades para encontrar algo mejor en Bilbao. También almorzamos donde el rodaballo estaba para morirse ... fue el mejor plato de pescado que mi esposa haya tenido ... esto no fue una exageración ya que somos amantes de la comida y viajamos a muchos lugares para experimentar la cultura y su comida. Tienes que entender ... ¡Esta es la pasión de Jimi! Ama su hogar ... ¡y le encanta compartir su amor por él! Gracias, Jimi, por hacer que el día sea tan especial. Volveremos pronto al área del País Vasco y cuando lo hagamos ... ¡definitivamente te buscaremos!”
