San Sebastián Turismo has prepared a diverse range of plans for the autumn, inviting visitors to discover the city's natural, gastronomic, cultural, and leisure offerings.

San Sebastián offers special plans for the autumn, providing visitors with opportunities to immerse themselves in nature, enjoy gastronomy, and explore the city's extensive cultural and leisure offerings. There are options for nature excursions within the city and its surroundings, both on foot and by bicycle, such as the Cristina Enea Park, the Camino de Santiago along the coast, a route along the Urumea River, or the city's mountains.
The city offers the chance to discover its numerous forests, parks, and palaces, often with the help of a local guide to reveal all its secrets. Furthermore, San Sebastián is considered a mecca of gastronomy, and visitors can experience unforgettable gastronomic experiences, from Michelin stars to traditional markets and the best pintxos.
In terms of culture, places like Tabakalera, the San Telmo Museum, Chillida Leku, and Albaola can be visited, as well as the city's many museums and art galleries. There are also plans for family enjoyment, and an open-air museum of contemporary sculptures can be found along the city's promenades.
One can also enjoy the sea through maritime activities, and to complete the day, places with sea views are recommended, as well as spas like La Perla Talaso Sport. In autumn, there is the opportunity to witness waves between 5 and 10 meters high, which can be observed from the Paseo Nuevo, Monte Urgull, or the Peine del Viento.
The city's authentic neighborhoods and architecture (Romantic, Rationalist, and Contemporary) can also be explored through guided tours. Additionally, events such as San Sebastián Gastronomika, the Fantasy and Horror Film Week, and electronic music festivals are celebrated. Excursions to nearby locations like the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao or Rioja Alavesa are also possible.
