Without a doubt, the best way to explore San Sebastian is on a bicycle and if you also do it on an electric bike with an exceptional guide, the experience is even more amazing.

You will find this activity on Donostia San Sebastian Turismoa’s website and we highly recommend it.  If you want to know a little bit more about our city or if you have just arrived here and want to get your bearings, book this experience because, as well as the history and stories that you will hear about the buildings and city’s various districts, you’ll have a brilliant time.

Go Local’s electric bikes are marvellous, really comfortable, lightweight and in tip top condition.  And they're also made by ORBEA, in the Basque Country.

Listen to us, because if there's one thing we understand it’s bikes, because we ride around the city on ours every day. A 3-hour tour that will take you to some of the most iconic and beautiful places in the city.

Make sure your mobile is fully charged, because you won’t stop taking photos.

Pedalling alongside La Concha Beach up to Ondarreta Beach on a stunning bicycle path with the sea breeze in the air is a joy.

Without question, one of the most special places on the tour is the climb to Igeldo to reach our much-loved lighthouse.

There you will achieve a state of complete happiness that cannot be explained, you have to experience it for yourself. Spectacular views and the sound of the sea as a soundtrack.
