Many visitors come to San Sebastian for one thing: the food. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While you could happily spend days doing nothing more than eating the best <\/span>pintxos<\/span><\/i><\/a> in the world, it\u2019s also one of the best places to dive into the unique Basque culture. And nowhere better to do that than the <\/span>San Telmo Museum<\/a>. Located in a former monastery on the side of Mount Urgull in the city center, its buildings alone are worth the price of entry. Reopened in 2011 after years of renovation, the collection of over 35,000 pieces has never looked better.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The <\/span>San Telmo Museum<\/span> is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m.\u20138 p.m. with free entry every Tuesday. Unlike some of the larger museums in Spain, queues aren\u2019t generally a problem here, so it\u2019s a perfect place to drop in whenever you need to give your stomach a break! In the heart of the city center, it\u2019s easily walkable from all over town, and just a few steps away from <\/span>La Cuchara de San Telmo<\/a>, one of the most legendary pintxos bars<\/a> in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
