Travel to San Sebastian


JuteVilla
By train

Trains arrive from many parts of Spain, Portugal and France, including overnight services from Paris andLisbon. Take care when booking from France as there is also a town named Saint Sébastien in France. There are two train stations in San Sebastian: the RENFE station for national and local trains (at the east end of Puente de Maria Cristina), and the Euskotren station for the local network (Plaza Easo). However as you are travelling from Spain to France, there is not a single train from San Sebastian to Biarritz, nor is the service between the two linked. You may therefore be stuck half way waiting for hours for a connecting train.

By plane

San Sebastian is well served by airports:

San Sebastian, a small airport 20km from the town centre, next to Hondarribia.

Bus to the airport: i2 (€2) departs from Plaza Gipuzkoa nearly once an hour and rides exactly 30min, making maximum 4 stops (typically less).

Cafes in the departures area are limited to a single cafe on the ground floor, plus posh restaurant on the 2nd floor.

Shopping in departures area is limited to a single souvenir small shop; no duty free shops available.

Electronic check-in is available only for Iberia and Spanair. It doesn't work for Iberia e-tickets printed from an e-mail, however.

Wifi network is not available.

Biarritz (in France), 50km away with bus and train connections to San Sebastian. Take a French SNCF train to Hendaye, change to the nearby Euskotren station (located just outside the SNCF station) and take a Euskotren to San Sebastian. Each train ride is between 30-40 minutes, with the total train trip cost less than €10. A coach service also exists between Biarritz airport and the Hendaye train station, via Saint-Jean-De-Luz (change buses there). The
