Transport Options from Biarritz airport to San Sebastian

Hi there,

We are arriving at Biarritz airport on Sat 9th July approx 6pm.

We were wondering if anyone could recommend:

- the best way for us to travel to San Sebastian that night

- approx how long it will take

- whether we need to book this leg of travel in advance

- where we might find timetable info online

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I drove. About 1 hour, but had a little trouble finding my way to my San Sebastian hotel. (I wanted a car to see the region with my family)

Some of the trains are great, others make every local stop.

It%26#39;s a great area.

Bus #6 runs from the airport into Biarritz every 20 minutes.

Biarritz – San Sebastian bus line, PESA company, phone: (+ 34) 902 101 210. Departure point is next to the Biarritz Tourist Office.

There is also the TOPO (EuskoTran), which is a small commuter rail that runs from the train station in Hendaye to San Sebastian. You can take the SNCF train from Biarritz to Hendaye and then take the TOPO train into Donostia – San Sebastian. It runs every 30 min.

EUSKO TREN company, phone: (+ 34) 902 54 32 10

You usually do not have to reserve a place on the bus, but understand that Biarritz and San Sebastian will be very busy on 9 July because of the fiesta in Pamplona.

6:00 pm (18:00) is considered afternoon as the sun does not set until well after 10:30 pm along the coast, so it will be bright and sunny when you arrive.
