Arriving by car in San Sebastián

Roads link San Sebastián with Bilbao, Irun and Pamplona, but driving into the centre adds parking and one-way-street decisions. Plan where to leave the car before arrival.

Why go

A car is useful for reaching the city from elsewhere in the Basque Country or for trips beyond the centre. Once you arrive, the compact beach and Old Town area is easier to explore on foot. Compare the convenience of driving with the time needed to park, and check current arrangements before setting out.

Useful to know

Choose a parking destination before entering the centre rather than circling its one-way streets.
Check current parking rules and any tolls on your chosen approach.
