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 Berasateguiâs 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.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âIâve scheduled a drive from San SebastiĂĄn to Bilbao for June 2nd with Daytrip for a planned destination rather than taking a train because the company offered drop off destinations in between cities. It was one of my better decisions of my visit to the Basque Country as Jimi, our driver/guide was absolutely wonderful. He gave a tour to remember. Took us on back roads where the scenery were simply amazing which if we drove by ourselves... would have missed totally. The Pinxtos place that he took as was so savory that we had a hard time finding anything better in Bilbao. We also had lunch where the turbot was to die for... it was the best fish dish that my wife ever had... this was no exaggeration as we are foodies and travel to many places to experience the culture and their food!
You have to understand... This is Jimiâs passion! He loves his home... and loves to share his love of it!
Thank you Jimi for making the day so special! Weâll be back to Basque area soon and when we do.... weâll definitely look you up!â
