First and foremost, Donostia-San Sebastian is absolutely beautiful. If you have 2 days in San Sebastián you really are in for a treat. This city has a gorgeous coastline, beautiful architecture and a fabulous culinary scene tried and tested by the world famous chef Anthony Bourdain. San Sebastián is clean, friendly and accessible, with everything that you need for a perfect weekend break.

Remember to refer to this place as Donostia-San Sebastian particularly when Googling! The problem is that there are two other San Sebastian’s in Spain — San Sebastián de la Gomera (the capital of the island) and one in Madrid!

Is San Sebastian worth visiting?

So, you’re thinking about travelling to Spain and want to know is San Sebastian worth visiting? I can tell you that it absolutely is. In fact, it is extremely popular because it has of the most beautiful urban beaches in Europe. San Sebastian also has a gorgeous old town with several interesting Churches and Museums (later on in this blog I will be telling you which ones not to miss!)

The city is also very accessible and so it’s an easy place to be for anyone with walking difficulties or chronic illnesses — it’s one of the most wheelchair friendly cities I have ever visited.
