2&3. Museo Naval & Aquarium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s impossible to talk about San Sebastian’s past without mentioning its rich maritime history. The Museo Naval<\/a>, or Shipping Museum in English (Calle Del Muelle Ibilbidea, 24),<\/em> pays incredible tribute to this quintessential piece of local culture. This small but fascinating museum shows visitors how the sea has influenced the daily lives of people in this region for thousands of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’ve got a solid foundation of knowledge, head to the nearby Aquarium<\/a> (Plaza de Carlos Blasco Imaz, 1<\/em>) to check out some of the modern wonders under the sea! Although not part of the Museo Naval, combining both into one trip makes for a fascinating visit. This massive, recently renovated complex is sure to delight kids and adults alike. It’s one of Europe’s most modern aquariums and one of the most unique museums in San Sebastian!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
