    • The San Sebastián Aquarium is one of the most popular attractions in the Basque Country, with 300,000 visits a year. It is an obligatory stop for all visitors to the city. The Aquarium stands in one of San Sebastián’s most picturesque spots, the harbour, right next to the Old Town, with its enormous gastronomic selection, and only a few minutes from the city centre.

      The San Sebastián Aquarium occupies an emblematic building dating from 1928, with two floors dedicated to the maritime and marine heritage of Gipuzkoa. Particularly interesting is the skeleton of a northern right whale in addition to numerous tanks dedicated to the Bay of Biscay, in which you can view more than 200 species, not forgetting the famous 360º tunnel and a variety of tropical species.

    A good place to visit. I was not expecting the maritime museum part, so that was a bonus. Nice displays all through, with a remarkable tunnel.

    Wow... this Aquarium educates viewers on the importance and impact the ocean has on this northern part of Spain. The ocean provides the livelihood for many residents in Spain for centuries. It still does today, as well as the showing the many activities in the ocean even today. Breathtaking aquarium and sea life in sparkling tanks... fascinating to see the divers feed the fish... one of the best aquariums we have ever been to! We could spend days here and still not take it all in! The model ships are a true gem!

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by JamieH767 (Lancashire, United Kingdom) on 26/11/2023

    The aquarium tunnel here is very good, there are two large sharks and is well worth seeing. The large rays are also cool to see.
