San Sebastian

Will be docking here on Vista June 2025. Wondering if there are normally shuttles into the centre of town or is it walkable?

Hello

 

City centre is very walkable

 

San Sebastian and surroundings is known to have, by far, the best luxirious restaurants in Spain

 

It is enough to look for 3 and 2 Michelin stars restaurants in Spain

We once spent a few nights in San Sebastian and really enjoyed the evening/night life with decent tapas and restaurants :).  But, the most fascinating part of our visit was watching the locals come to the beach, directly from work.  One particular lady walked onto the beach, wearing a very stylish business suit and carrying her heels.  She found a spot (near us) and pulled out a large fabric bag which she put over her head (there was a hole for her head).  The bag was full length.  She then changed into her swimsuit (under the bag) and within 1 minute was ready to lie on the beach 🙂  You have to love a city with that kind of atmosphere.

Do know where the Vista will be docking?  I know there's a small harbour/marina right by the old town but wouldn't think it would be able to support a cruise ship. 

We were in San Sebastian for a few days in 2019 and agree that most of the town and vicinity is very walkable though.  We stayed just outside of the old town and walked in.  Fairly flat (apart from Monte Urgull that overlooks the old town) and pedestrian friendly including neighbourhoods beyond. Reasonable bus system too.

Looking at Oceania's website, it looks like we're tendering. If that's wrong, then the port is about 6km away from the city centre.
