Transferência de carro particular de San Sebastian para Bordeaux

If Bordeaux hasn't been on your radar, it should be. This city is the undisputed wine capital of the world (yes, that is why Bordeaux sounds familiar). You can find some of the most delicious wines in its bars and restaurants, and it won't cost you a limb to procure. But Bordeaux has more than simply wine on offer.

Visitors can look forward to picking and choosing between 350 historical monuments and buildings, dozens of art galleries, museums, and some of the best street food in France. So what are you waiting for? This is your invitation to book a car trip with Daytrip and sit back and relax while our door-to-door service gets you from San Sebastian's refined luxury to Bordeaux's mysterious high-end beauty.

Bordeaux is a port city, so the Gironde estuary reveals immense nature, culture, wine tourism, and enchanting chateaux. If you travel further along this city's coast, you'll also get to feel the silky sand of the Arcachon basin between your toes, and you might even get the chance to savor a few delicious oysters!

Returning to land, there's much to see and do in Bordeaux. From lavish 18th-century buildings and UNESCO-listed quays surrounding the imposingly elegant Place de la Bourse to the famed mirror of the water and the many gastronomic delights, including decadent pastries, regional delicacies, and Michelin-starred fine dining establishments, you'll find something to occupy your time.

Unfortunately, basic services like banks and post offices have skeleton staff during this time, and some are closed altogether. That's why it's important to plan ahead to ensure the places you want to visit along the way to Bordeaux and the city itself are open and accepting visitors.

You can plan ahead by buying tickets weeks to months in advance (this is a nifty way to ensure prices are at their lowest) and reserving high-end restaurant spots and accommodations ahead of schedule.

Choose the right mode of transportation

There are many travel options for those who want to travel from San Sebastian to Bordeaux, but the best option is a road trip. If you travel with a private car service like Daytrip, you'll be free to be spontaneous with sightseeing stops along the way.

We recommend stopping to snap a few pictures of a few local dishes in Hondarribia while enjoying some of the best local food you'll ever eat. Or why not lay out a blanket for an impromptu picnic at Rocher de la Vierge before venturing onto the famed rock at this location?

When you book with Daytrip, the options are endless regardless of what you want to see and do. And if you book early enough, you'll save on transportation costs, and our expert drivers know exactly how to avoid annoying traffic and scarce parking situations.

Be prepared for strikes

Many travelers aren't aware that strikes are common in France, so it's important to plan for this possibility when traveling from San Sebastian to Bordeaux.

Often, strikes disrupt or cancel transportation services in France, which can severely impact your French adventure. So, it might be best to put alternative travel options on the back burner—like Daytrip. Daytrip isn't affected by strikes, so you're guaranteed a stress-free trip.

Just note that ferry travel is not listed as there is no ferry between these cities, but if you're interested in a short cruise, Bordeaux offers a few cruise tours by boat.

From San Sebastian to Bordeaux by bus

For most travelers, the best budget option to get from San Sebastian to Bordeaux is to take the bus. Three bus service providers—BlaBlaCar Bus, Flixbus, and Iberocoach —complete the trip between these two European cities.

BlaBlaBus is the fastest bus option, taking about three hours and 15 minutes to complete. The bus leaves hourly every day, and the tickets cost between $17 and $26. Then, Iberocoach offers the cheapest trips. With Iberocoach, you should expect a ticket to cost between $12 and $17, but don't expect a luxury three-hour and 58-minute trip to Bordeaux.

Lastly, Flixbus is a good option for those seeking a reliable bus service that isn't too expensive. Unfortunately, Flixbus doesn't offer as many trips daily, but a bus leaves every three hours from San Sebastian to Bordeaux. The average ticket cost is between $22 and $35, but the ride is bound to be more comfortable than Ibercoach, even though the bus trip is just over four hours with a stop or two.

From San Sebastian to Bordeaux by train

Euskotren, SNCF, and TGV inOui are the three train lines that offer trips from San Sebastian to Bordeaux. These trains are incredibly convenient, but you often must catch two trains to get to Bordeaux. This is because only two of the three provide high-speed train services, and there is no direct train between the two cities.

Typically, you would catch the Euskotren at the Amara-Donostia train station, which will take you to the Hendaia train station in Irun in a little under 40 minutes. From Hendaia, you will travel to the Bordeaux St Jean train station in France. The second half of this trip will take about two and a half hours, with the entirety of the trip costing between $32 and $92.

It is also important to note that the Euskotren runs hourly, the SNCF only offers trips once every four hours, and the TGV inOui only provides trips between the two cities five times daily. When there are strikes in France, you should expect delays, and although it is scenic, the train might not be too comfortable, and there is no chance of sightseeing.

From San Sebastian to Bordeaux by private car

In our opinion, the best way to travel from San Sebastian to Bordeaux is by private car service Daytrip, and we don't say this because we're biased. With a private car service, you get several benefits you wouldn't get when traveling via the bus or train.

Daytrip will bring you door-to-door, from your accommodation in San Sebastian to your hotel in Bordeaux without you having to worry about handling your luggage. Our drivers are also English-speaking professionals who can share tips and insights.

And unlike any other transportation option, you can stop for sightseeing at places like the neo-Gothic Chateau d'Abbadie or the dramatic Rocher de la Vierge on your way to Bordeaux. And let's not forget how our drivers will expertly navigate the roads between these two cities to avoid traffic and keep you entertained the entire way!

For example, if you visit Place de la Bourse, you'll also tour the charming Chartrons neighborhood and see the impressive 37,000-square-foot Miroir d'Eau, the largest reflecting pool in the world.

Marché des Capucins

Foodies will love wandering through the Marché des Capucins, a gorgeous open-air market that has been thriving for decades.

When visiting, you'll get to wander from vendor to vendor, buying different types of local foods to feast on right there and then or to save for later. We recommend buying cream-filled pastries, fresh cheeses, fruit, and authentic local delicacies you won't get to try anywhere else.

In addition, if you're a seafood lover, you must not miss the opportunity to visit Chez Jean-Mi, an oyster bar in the Marché des Capucins that sells a delectable selection of fresh-shucked oysters ready to tantalize your taste buds.

Cathédrale Saint-André

We know that religious attractions aren't for everyone, but when in France, it's usually a good idea to visit the cathedrals in the towns and cities you visit, as they are some of the most spectacular in the world.

You'll want to visit the Cathédrale Saint-André, otherwise known as the Bordeaux Cathedral. This cathedral is open to the public and is one of the world's most beautifully designed houses of worship.

Not only is the Gothic-style Roman Catholic architecture impressive, but its sweeping sky-high spires are also worth a second look, as is its treasure trove of medieval paintings known as the Marcade Collection.
