By bus<\/h2>\n

San Sebastian’s prime location along the northern coast of Spain just below the French border gives it easy access to other parts of Spain and Europe by bus. The most prolific bus company with links to the city is Alsa<\/a>, but you can also find routes on Conda<\/a> and Vibasa<\/a> buses.<\/p>\n

Arriving in San Sebastian by bus is often the cheapest option when it comes to public transportation. San Sebastian has direct bus links with several major cities in the region, such as Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Pamplona. Taking the bus from one of these nearby cities takes less than two hours and will set you back less than \u20ac10. If you prefer the scenic route, you can also arrive here by bus from Madrid and Barcelona. Be aware that these trips can last between six and seven hours, but usually cost between \u20ac30 and \u20ac40.<\/p>\n

San Sebastian’s bus station is located at Paseo Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, 1. From there, you can take one of the local DBUS<\/a> lines to get to wherever you need to be in the city.<\/p>\n
