Top 10 Museums in San Sebastian - Donostia, Basque Country

November 13, 2021 Janean Rudisill

While many visitors come for the beaches, arts celebrations and fiestas, San Sebastian-Donostia is serious about its food and drink. The Old Quarter’s narrow, winding streets are full of bars and restaurants, and in the modern city, sidewalk cafes are all around. The city specializes in seafood. Just make sure you know not to expect dinner at 6 or 7 p.m.—that’s much too early in Spain. Instead, tide yourself over with tapas, and enjoy eating and drinking late into the night.

Reviewed By londontraveller30 - Surbiton, United Kingdom

This is a really great science museum, full of interactive exhibits such as an exhibition of plasticised body parts and even a live animal display (which was only available for an hour, so the animals presumably had more space to roam around during the rest of the day)! It managed to make topics that usually bore our children, such as electricity or levers, very engaging and fun. It's easily reached from the centre of town by bus, and you could easily stay for 3-4 hours. There's a restaurant next door that does really good Spanish food including tapas, without being over-priced as some museum restaurants can be. All the descriptions are in English and French as well as Spanish and Basque. We went there expecting it to be a small-town museum but it compares very well to science museums in other European capital cities!

Tabakalera

Tabakalera is a centre for contemporary culture that has two purposes: to be a place of production and to offer a programme of public activities. These two aims run through every part of the project which revolves around creating, training based on reflection, and exhibiting. As well as being a place which helps artists and creators turn professional, it also puts together a programme for differents audiences and makes outreach tools available for the general public. The main goal of Tabakalera's cultural project is to promote the creation of contemporary culture in different creative fields and in all its stages (research, production, exhibition), as well as to generate and share knowledge. With this aim in mind, it focuses on four lines of work that make up its programme: contemporary artistic practices, mediation, digital culture laboratories - Hirikilabs - and Tabakalera's creation library - Ubik -.

Reviewed By Xtine_12 - San Diego, United States

Found this place, a cultural center in a renovated tobacco factory, by accident while walking around the old town. We saw a photography exhibition on Vivian Maier (one that I kept missing in the US) which was well presented and curated. It is a massive space with a number of galleries on diverse subjects. It is free all the time. I highly encourage trying restaurants on this side of town and this place too. Go for a walk out and gets out of the tourist-packed pinchos bar zone...
