Bilbao & Gaztelugatxe Day Trips from San Sebastián

3 tours · €95–€325 per person · ★ 4.9

A day trip from San Sebastián to Bilbao usually pairs the Guggenheim with the hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the Game of Thrones rock, and the 3 tours here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €95 per person for a shared day that includes the Gaztelugatxe tickets in every version and the museum tickets, lunch and pickup in the small group options to €325 for a private half day in Bilbao with your own guide. The third route swaps the museum for Guernica, with the tree, Picasso's mural and the air raid shelters.

A quick way to choose: the climb to the hermitage is a long staircase, so wear sport shoes, and the coach departures need a minimum number of adults to run, which the operator confirms two days ahead. The bilingual budget versions meet at a point and leave lunch to you. The best reviewed Bilbao day trips from San Sebastián come first below.
