    • The Aquarium of Donostia-San Sebastián is one of the most visited infrastructures in the Spanish Basque Country, with 300,000 visitors per year. A few minutes from the city center and next to the Old Town, with its rich and varied gastronomic offer, it is located on the port quay, in one of the most picturesque areas of the city and is part of the circuit of obligatory visits for anyone visiting the city of San Sebastián.

      The San Sebastian Aquarium houses in its emblematic building, built in 1928, two floors dedicated to the maritime and marine heritage of Gipuzkoa, in which the skeleton of a right whale is located, as well as a multitude of pools that will allow you to discover more than 200 species of the Cantabrian Sea and a great diversity of tropical species, without forgetting its famous 360º transparent tunnel.

    Uno de los mejores aquarios de los que he visitado. Genial, muchas divertidas de peces. Genial para los niños y adultos. Por adulto cuenta 14€ y por niño 7€, pues observar y mirar el tiempo que quieras.
