    • The San Sebastián Aquarium is one of the most popular attractions in the Basque Country, with 300,000 visits a year. It is an obligatory stop for all visitors to the city. The Aquarium stands in one of San Sebastián’s most picturesque spots, the harbour, right next to the Old Town, with its enormous gastronomic selection, and only a few minutes from the city centre.

      The San Sebastián Aquarium occupies an emblematic building dating from 1928, with two floors dedicated to the maritime and marine heritage of Gipuzkoa. Particularly interesting is the skeleton of a northern right whale in addition to numerous tanks dedicated to the Bay of Biscay, in which you can view more than 200 species, not forgetting the famous 360º tunnel and a variety of tropical species.

    Beautiful place. It has everything from everything regarding the sea. Great piece to cost with your family. Kids will love it. Price is not so high compared to other places looked this in Europe.

    Nice blend of port history, shipping, fishing industries, plus intimate views of marine species. Takes a couple of hours to work your way through, but with the stroll. Nice views of harbor entry as well.

    Nice experience, especially if you are looking to spend 1-2 hours indoors on a rainy day. If you follow the arrows, you will get to see the entire museum/Aquarium combo rather easily. Note: The area, especially the tunnel can get a bit loud if it’s crowded.

    3 / 5 Reviews posted by MeliaAlba (Redwood City, California) on 16/08/2024

    Firstly, truth in advertising. This should be called maritime museum and aquarium. Secondly, the fish is stressed from overcrowded. Some fish looked sick, injured and over fed. Fish identification...
