How to get to San Marino from Rimini

Arriving in Rimini, you need to decide on which type of transport you will go to San Marino. It should be noted separately that the mountainous terrain of the republic does not allow the construction of railways on its territory. Therefore, the most accessible transport is a bus or car.

Tickets are purchased at the box office of the bus station or at any travel company in the city. The buses have everything to make you feel as comfortable as possible. The distance between Rimini and San Marino is only 25 kilometers, which you will cover in 40-50 minutes, taking into account the stops.

The timetable of buses from Rome to Rimini is available on specialized websites and at the bus station. The total duration of the trip is 5 hours. The bus makes one change in Rimini, and then goes to San Marino. Perhaps this is the most convenient way to get to San Marino from the Italian capital.

You can also use the services of car rental companies. The distance between San Marino and Rome, 350 kilometers, you will travel in 3.5 - 4 hours. The duration of the trip directly depends on the number of stops, the equipment of the car and weather conditions.

Whichever way you choose, keep in mind that all roads to San Marino lead, as a rule, through Rimini and other cities in Italy.

I fell in love with this city even before I arrived. I learned about San Sebastian by chance from a friend. I typed in Google and saw that very beautiful panorama of La Concha Bay. It was hard to believe that this place exists in reality and not somewhere far away, but in Spain, already native and traveled far and wide.

Usually choosing Spain, our compatriots go somewhere to Catalonia, to the Balearic or, well, or in extreme cases to Andalusia. At the same time, the north of the country is undeservedly deprived of attention. It is there, in the Basque Country, on the shores of the harsh Atlantic Ocean, that the amazing city of San Sebastian (or Donostia in Basque) is located. For many years it has been one of the most popular Spanish resorts among Europeans.

There are really few Russians here. More precisely, during the month of my stay in Donostia, I did not meet a single one.

Many Spaniards rightly consider San Sebastian to be the most beautiful city country. Aristocratic in French and cozy in Spanish, it conquers with its luxurious beaches and breathtaking views of Santa Clara Island. And also delicious food.

How to get there

San Sebastian is located in northern Spain, 40 km from the French border. You can get there from Moscow or St. Petersburg both by air and by land transport. The most popular and convenient way is a combination of the first and the second. For example, plane + train / bus.

By plane

San Sebastian has its own small airport, which is called that. San sebastian... Only seven airlines fly there. And only two (Iberia and its budget subsidiary Vueling) operate daily flights (from Barcelona and Madrid). There are no direct international flights (including from Moscow and St. Petersburg) to San Sebastian.

The airport is located just 15 kilometers from the city center. You can get there by taxi (8–10 EUR) or by bus (1.65–2.35 EUR).

Several buses run to San Sebastian. The numbers and routes can be viewed on the airport's official website. They all arrive right in the city center, at Plaza Gipuskoa. Finding a bus stop and taxi rank at the tiny San Sebastian Airport is easy. They are located right at the exit.

If you are planning to fly from outside of Spain, then I do not advise you to search for flights directly to San Sebastian. First, you will have to do at least one transplant (/). Secondly, due to the fact that the airport is small and unpopular, tickets are very expensive. Therefore, most tourists arrive in San Sebastian through the airports of neighboring cities. The nearest ones are in (102 km) and Biarritz (in France, 40 km). There are regular buses from both airports to San Sebastian.

By train

Due to the inconvenient air connection, European tourists often prefer to travel to San Sebastian by rail. Trains run to Donostia from almost all major cities in Spain and France. For example, from Barcelona to San Sebastian the road will take about 5 hours and cost from 45 EUR.

Usually long-distance trains arrive at the main railway station of the city. Estación del Norte... But if you change trains in the French border town of Hendaye, you will arrive at a different station. Amara... It is for commuter trains.

Both stations are within walking distance of the city center.

If you plan to travel by train directly from Moscow or St. Petersburg, then the most convenient route will be via. Branded trains run from both capitals to the French (you can see them on the Russian Railways website). Next, from Paris, buy a train ticket to the city of Hendaye, bordering Spain. From there, trains run to San Sebastian every 10 minutes. The total travel time will take about two and a half days.

About the same time, but with a large number of changes, to get on a different route: a corporate train -, then from Nice to, from Marseille to Barcelona, ​​from Barcelona to San Sebastian. The last 3 trains run regularly, so there will be no problems with purchasing tickets.

In terms of cost, getting to San Sebastian by train will be many times more expensive than by plane (from 400 EUR one way). This is due to the fact that in Europe the railway is not a cheap transport, and in our country tickets for trans-European trains cost an order of magnitude higher than for domestic ones.

By bus

Buses in Europe are traditionally a cheaper alternative to trains. True, they usually go longer. ALSA and PESA regularly travel from Spanish companies to San Sebastian (respectively, routes from Spanish and nearby French cities).

Donostia has no direct bus service with Moscow and St. Petersburg. That is, you will have to change planes in some large European city. The most convenient route is Zurich, Zurich - San Sebastian. But these buses do not run every day, so you need to guess the time in advance. There are many other routes, mainly through France. You can get acquainted with the schedule and prices on the website of the European carrier Eurolines.

Getting to San Sebastian by bus will cost you a little cheaper than trains (from 350 EUR one way), and it will take about 3 days in time.

You can buy bus tickets both on the companies' website and at the ticket offices of bus stations and sometimes from the driver. They are the cheapest when purchased over the Internet.

Buses arrive at the main bus station of San Sebastian at Plaza de Pío XII. It is located far from the city center (walk 45 minutes). You can get from it to the center by taking a taxi (there is a parking lot right next to the station) or by bus (the stop is also not far away).

By car

The distance from Moscow to San Sebastian is 3,645 km.

The distance from St. Petersburg to San Sebastian is 3,566 km.

Travel time from both cities will be about 37 hours. The cost of such a trip depends on the price of gasoline and the use of toll roads. On average, about 500 EUR.

When is the season. When is the best time to go

When planning your trip, keep in mind that Guipuzua is one of the rainiest regions in Spain. In winter, it is almost always cloudy; in summer, the weather is usually good.

As for autumn and spring, it is almost impossible to predict the situation here. It can be very rainy one year and sunny the next.

So it is better to go to San Sebastian during the season, that is, from May to October. At the same time, it is during this period that there are most tourists and the highest prices. In the off-season, Donostia dies out: there are no crowds in the historical part of the city, in the port and on the beaches. At the same time, this is not reflected in the work of various establishments. The fact is that, in addition to visiting tourists and surfers, a rather large number of students still live here (there are several prestigious universities in San Sebastian). And the locals are ready to walk in any weather!

San Sebastian in summer

Summer is the tourist season in San Sebastian.

At this time of the year, the temperature here is very comfortable (+ 27 ° C on average), and there is no such heat as in other Spanish cities. It can even get a little chilly at night. Therefore, it does not hurt to take a jacket with a sleeve with you. You also need to be prepared that the sea here is not as warm as, for example, in the famous Mediterranean resorts.

A comfortable swimming temperature is somewhere from mid-June to early September.

In addition, in the summer, San Sebastian hosts a large number of festivals, including the famous Jazzaldia.

San Sebastian in autumn

The first two months of autumn in San Sebastian are considered the velvet season. The temperature is still above + 20 ° C, the most courageous can even swim (the water is about + 18 ° C), and there are still many sunny days (although less and less). Finally, the weather usually deteriorates by mid-November. It's getting cold and rainy.

Interesting events: at the end of September, the famous film festival is held in San Sebastian, which attracts many celebrities. And in October there is a horror film festival.

San Sebastian in spring

In spring it is better to go in the second half of April. By this time, it is usually already warm enough (about +20 ° С) and sunny. Also at this time the trees begin to bloom, it looks very beautiful.

By May, summer weather is already set and the tourist season begins. However, if you want to swim, then it is better to choose summer or early autumn for the trip. The water warms up only in June and does not have time to cool down somewhere until mid-September.

Spring is not rich in cultural events and holidays in San Sebastian.

San Sebastian in winter

Weather-wise, winter is not the best time to visit San Sebastian. The air temperature is somewhere around + 5-10 ° С, all time is running rain and almost no sun.

However, in winter you can feel the indescribable atmosphere of the holiday. All kinds of Christmas markets and festivities take place in the beautifully decorated streets. And on January 20, you can witness the most spectacular and large-scale holiday in San Sebastian: Tamborrada (aka City Day).

Districts. Where is the best place to live

San Sebastian is a small city, with an area of ​​60.8 km². Officially, there are 17 districts in the city. But there is also an additional traditional historical division in the central part of Donostia, which is recognized by the authorities and indicated on tourist maps.

Most of the attractions and, as a result, hotels in San Sebastian are concentrated in the area El Centro(Centre). In its composition, it is customary to distinguish separately Parte vieja(Old Quarter) and (Miraconcha Quarter).

Parte Vieja is the Historical Center and the heart of the city. Narrow streets, old houses, an endless string of shops, restaurants and bars working until the morning. That is why, when choosing accommodation in the old quarter, you need to be prepared for the fact that it is quite noisy at night.

Miraconcha is home to the famous La Concha beach and the magnificent promenade along it, the hallmark of San Sebastian. Housing overlooking this part of the city is the most expensive.

The rest of EL Centro doesn’t have any significant sights, but it’s still very pleasant to walk. Beautiful houses, cozy squares, many cafes, restaurants, shops, large supermarkets, banks.

Of the non-central areas of interest are the areas Gros, El Antiguo, Eguia and Amara vieja.

Old Amara ( Amara vieja) is located directly behind the Center. It is part of the large residential area of ​​Amara (there is also a new Amara). The main cathedral of San Sebastian is located in Amara vieja. Living here is considered prestigious among the local population.

The Gros area is the commercial center of the city. There are also many open street cafes and democratic bars. And it ends with the famous surfer beach Zuriola.

El Atiguo is home to Ondarreta Beach and Mount Igueldo. It is a beautiful and tranquil area suitable for beach and family holidays.

Eguia is famous for its Christina Enea park. There is also the railway station and the Maria Cristina Bridge leading to it, which is considered the most beautiful bridge in the city.

The rest of the districts of San Sebastian are not attractive for tourists in terms of distance and number of accommodation options.

What are the prices for rest

San Sebastian is one of the most expensive cities in Spain. According to some indicators (for example, groceries, taxis), it is even ahead of Barcelona. So, going to Donostia, be prepared that a budget vacation (at least in comparison with other Spanish resorts) will not work.

Residence

Although, of course, it all depends on your needs. So, accommodation in the famous five-star (the only one in the city) hotel Maria Cristina will cost you at least 500 EUR per night for two (in high season), you can look for offers. In hotels of a lower rank, you can find double rooms for 200-300 EUR / night. Well, the most budget option is hostels and guest houses. Here prices start from 20 EUR per bed in dorms and 45 EUR for private rooms. You can book accommodation on or if it is an apartment, then.

Nutrition

If you fancy trying haute Basque cuisine, dining at one of the Michelin-starred restaurants will set you back at least EUR 100 for two.

In simpler establishments, you can settle the same account of 50 EUR.

Well, to have a snack in the famous gastro bars will cost from 10 EUR per person.

Beaches. Which is better

San Sebastian is famous for its gorgeous coastline, which is interrupted by picturesque mountains. They divide it into several beaches.

All beaches have toilets, changing cabins, sun loungers with umbrellas for rent, and cafes in the immediate vicinity.

Churches and temples. Which are worth visiting

The most beautiful church of San Sebastian is considered bazilicaSanta Maria del Coro... It is located in the Old Quarter. The basilica was built in the 18th century on the site of an old medieval church. The temple was built in the Baroque style, but with Gothic elements. Above the main entrance is a statue of Saint Sebastian, the patron saint of the city.

On the same street at the other end you can see another church - San Vicente... The structure is located right at the foot of the mountain. It is the oldest (built in the Middle Ages) church in San Sebastian. In terms of external decoration, it is very modest, even sometimes it bears little resemblance to a church. This is due to the fact that earlier San Vincente also served as a fortress.

Well, and finally, the main temple of the city is San Sebastian Cathedral of the Good Shepherd (Catedral del Buen Pastor de San Sebastian)... It is located in the Amara area and, interestingly, clearly opposite the aforementioned Basilica del Coro (this is how it was designed). The cathedral was built at the end of the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style. It amazes with its scope. Its huge colorful stained-glass windows should be noted separately.

The park also houses the palace of the same duke. Since 2007, the Center for Environmental Resources (Centro de Recursos Medioambientales) has been located there.

Miramar palace park much smaller than Christina-Enea, but much more popular with tourists. This is explained by its chic location: it is located on a hill between the two beaches of La Concha and Ondaretta. Sitting on the grass, you can watch a stunning view of the ocean and the Santa Clara island, and the Miramar Palace itself deserves special attention. It is a former royal residence built at the end of the 19th century by the English architect Sheldon Warne.

Climbing the mountain (well, or just a walk at the foot) can be completed in 30 minutes. Then we go for a walk in the Old Quarter. It will take 20-30 minutes to inspect all key places.

San Sebastian is one of the gastronomic capitals of Europe. He holds the world record for the number of Michelin-starred restaurants per square meter. And ordinary bars will not leave you indifferent. The main culinary masterpiece of this region is pintxos (small mouth-watering snacks on a piece of bread).

Holidays

The main holiday in San Sebastian is celebrated on January 20. This is the day of the patron saint of the city, St. Sebastian. In another way, this holiday is also called Tamborrada (from the word tambor - "drum"). On this day, residents, dressed in historical costumes, cheerfully walk through the city, playing drums. But the most important spectacle of the holiday is the children's drum parade, which ends it.

In addition, San Sebastian is a city of festivals. It hosts a theater festival, a fireworks festival, an electronic music festival, a horror film festival, and a surfer film festival.

The most famous of them are: International Film Festival and Jazz Festival Jazzaldia. The latter is one of the main jazz events in Europe and the world. Concerts are held in different parts of the city (including on the beaches); generally recognized world jazz stars perform at the festival.

The San Sebastian International Film Festival is one of the oldest film festivals in Europe (held since 1953) and the fourth most important (after Cannes, Berlin and Venice).

Safety. What to watch out for

San Sebastian, in my opinion, is an absolutely safe city, even in comparison with other European cities.

Things to do

In addition to the beach, leisurely walks and tasting pintxos in San Sebastian, you can spend time more actively. For example, rent a bike (7 EUR for 2 hours, 15 EUR for the whole day) and ride on Paseo Nuevo. This is a unique place. The bike path runs right along the ocean and bends around Mount Urgul.

Also, if you are in good shape, you can rent a kayak on the beach (double kayak - 16 EUR per hour or 25 EUR for 2 hours) and sail to Santa Clara Island.

The swim is not long, but because of the strong waves it is not as easy as it seems.

Shopping and shops

San Sebastian is a shopaholic's paradise! Here you can find both global and little-known local brands. The main feature of the city is precisely the small designer boutiques where you can buy something unique. You need to look for such stores in Parte Vieja and El Centro.

If you want something from the mass sector, you can, for example, visit the Centro Comercial Garbera shopping center, where a large number of brands are collected.

I also recommend stopping by one of San Sebastian's surfer shops. They sell not only equipment for this sport, but also themed youth clothing.

Bars. Where to go

If you decide to go to the bars, then go to the Old Quarter (Parte vieja) or Gros! There are especially many of them. You will definitely find something to your liking!

There are many bars and small discos that are open until the morning. Among them: Iguana, Lamb, Arkaitzpe ... These places are quite democratic. The prices are not high (within 5 EUR per drink). Therefore, the audience is mainly young people and students (including foreign ones).

Clubs and nightlife

The only nightclub in San Sebastian, Bataplan is located on La Concha Beach. The usual electronic music is played there, DJs of clubs in Ibiza and Barcelona. Paid entrance. You can watch the poster.

Also an interesting establishment is located in the port of San Sebastian. called GU. It is made in the form of a ship. There is good music and there are often live concerts. The entrance is paid, sometimes not.

Both establishments have face control and dress code, but not too strict. The prices in the clubs are much higher than in regular bars. One drink can cost about 10 EUR.

Clubs work until 6: 00–7: 00.

Extreme sports

San Sebastian is also the surf capital of Spain and one of the top surf destinations in Europe. There are a lot of surf schools here. And every year the city hosts a large number of competitions in this spectacular sport.

The season here lasts from March to the end of October. At this time, many surfers come to San Sebastian, and among the locals there are enough fans to cut the waves. In general, it feels like everyone is skating here. I have repeatedly seen both young children and elderly people doing this activity.

The most popular destination for surfers is Zuriola Beach due to its strong waves. There you will also find many board rental shops and instructors offering their services. Surfboards can be rented for an hour or daily / weekly / monthly.

There are well-known surf schools near the beach. You can practice both individually and in groups. The equipment is provided by the school. For example, one of the most famous and oldest schools in San Sebastian is Pukas.

When planning to go surfing, you must also bear in mind that the sea in the Basque Country is very cold (even in summer). Therefore, you cannot do without a wetsuit. You can buy it at one of the city's surf shops or rent it.

Souvenirs. What to bring as a gift

Traditionally Basque souvenirs are brought from San Sebastian. The main such souvenir is the txapela, the famous Basque beret. You can buy it both in special shops of national costumes and in ordinary souvenir shops.

The second popular symbol in the Basque Country is lauburu. It is a cross formed by four commas. It is considered a symbol of good luck. Laubura is depicted on almost everything: T-shirts, key chains, bracelets, etc.

There are also many surf-related souvenirs in San Sebastian. Even if you are not fond of this sport, you can still bring cute keychains or pendants in the form of small surfboards.

And of course, they sell an endless number of paintings and postcards overlooking La Concha Bay.

How to get around the city

San Sebastian is a small city. Therefore, the main way for tourists to travel is on foot. If you think it’s too far to walk or if you’re tired, you can take a bus. The ticket costs 1.70 EUR.

There is also a dedicated sightseeing tourist bus.

It runs from 11:00 to 19:00. The route lasts 1 hour. Stops are located throughout the city. Ticket price - 12 EUR.

Taxi. What features are there

It should be borne in mind that taxis in San Sebastian are one of the most expensive in Spain. Already 4.5 EUR will be charged for landing. A short trip around the city will cost you about 10 EUR.

Taxis can be easily caught on the street: they run constantly, and they are easy to calculate by their appearance ( white with a sign: TAXI). There are also parking lots. For example, next to the bus and train station.

You can also call a taxi in advance by phone. There is no single number. Usually at the reception of hotels / hostels / apartments such a service is provided.

Transport rental

Bicycles are a popular rental vehicle. There are a lot of bike paths here. Both the city system and many private rental points operate. Tariffs can be checked on the spot or.

There are also numerous car rental companies at your service. But this is true for those who are planning trips out of town. It is extremely inconvenient to get around the city by car.

San Sebastian holidays with children

The first place where you need to take your child in San Sebastian is, of course, the amusement park on Mount Igeldo. It was founded back in 1925. And although the park is small and the attractions are quite old, children will certainly be delighted! There are carousels, labyrinths, a horror room. But, the main entertainment is to ride a boat along the edge of the cliff.

The second place to go with kids is the San Sebastian Aquarium. It is considered one of the best in Europe! The aquarium was opened back in 1928, but since then it has been re-equipped many times with the latest technology. It consists of a huge aquarium with a 360 ° underwater tube and small themed aquariums. Here you can learn a lot about marine life and even touch some of them.

Well, the most advanced place for young tourists in San Sebastian is the Eureka Zientzia Museoa. Here you will find fascinating interactive exhibitions dedicated to natural phenomena, scientific achievements, the human body... All exhibits can be touched, twisted, and even felt on simulators. A huge digital planetarium is of particular interest.
