Culinary city

La Fabrica's menu features the best Basque cuisine, and with a tasting menu on offer, you don't have to miss out on any of it. It's a popular spot, so make sure you book ahead. Meanwhile, Arzak's three gleaming Michelin stars twinkle invitingly. Their nueva cocina vasca is considered some of the best in the world.
Touring the town
Explore the upbeat Parte Vieja, where some of the city's top pintxo bars are snuggled away. The Area Romantica's attractive 19th century buildings run all the way from the Playa de la Concha to the Rio Urumea. Meanwhile, Playa de Ondarreta is frequented by millionaires and as salubrious as you would expect.
Huge sharks float expressionlessly behind the panes of the Aquarium. Vast indoor coral reefs wow visitors who amble amazed through a submarine tunnel while sea creatures glide overhead. Don't forget to enjoy the fluorescent jellyfish.
Beaches and peacocks
Playa de ls Concha is one of Europe's best beaches. Surfers and city dwellers flock to its golden sand shores for stunning scenery, water sport and beachside bars. If surfing is the name of the game for you, don't miss Playa de Gros which is without doubt the best for producing white-capped rollers throughout the season.
Peacocks squawk and shiver their glittering feathers at the Parque de Cristina Enea. It was created by the Duke of Mandas for his wife, and its formal paths and spacious lawns are an ideal spot for relaxed picnics in the sunshine.
