Modern San Sebastian stands out for its perfect mix of 19th-century glamorous buildings, innovative art street, and for being home to some of the best restaurants in the world. From Michelin Star upscale eateries to simple local taverns with delicious pintxos, San Sebastian is a foodie's paradise! But remember that, in contrast to what happens in the south of the country, pintxos are not free! A pintxo will cost anywhere from 1 to 4 Euros, and you will be able to choose from a simple skewer of olives and anchovy to very sophisticated snacks created by local chefs. After spending a night indulging in local food and wine, most tourists feel like doing some outdoor activity. In that case, we recommend going for a walk around Mount Urgull, the green hill that dominates San Sebastian and offers wonderful views. Culture lovers should spend some time at San Telmo Museum or discover the avant-garde Kursaal.
