San Sebastián Quests: Explore with Treasure Hunts & Self-Guided Tours

Rather than following a guide, Questo turns San Sebastián into your playground. You’ll wander through the Old Town, stroll along the iconic promenade of La Concha, and pass landmarks like Monte Urgull and Tabakalera while solving puzzles and unlocking stories along the way. It’s part sightseeing, part game—totally immersive and flexible.

Instead of hopping between museums and restaurants, a quest lets you experience multiple highlights in one go. You can walk La Concha beach-side, flit through the Old Town’s pintxos bars, catch city views from Monte Urgull, or pause for a seafood snack—then continue your adventure whenever you like.

Absolutely—it’s one of the most creative date ideas around. Imagine exploring romantic spots like Alderdi Eder Park or wandering hand-in-hand through cobbled alleys while solving clues. Perfect for those looking for a connection beyond drinks, and a more memorable experience than yet another evening stroll.

If you’re drawn to Belle Époque charm, the Downtown City Tour: The Identity Mystery is the right pick. Starting at the Nautic Club, you’ll wander through graceful boulevards, parks, and plazas while solving puzzles tied to your character’s hidden past. It’s a relaxing way to see the city center and its seaside beauty at your own pace.

The San Sebastián Old Town Quest takes you straight into the city’s medieval core. You’ll follow narrow cobbled streets, visit landmarks like Teatro Principal and San Telmo Museum, and step into Basque mythology as you play the role of Mari, a goddess searching for her children. It’s perfect for travelers who want history mixed with storytelling.

Families often love the Old Town Quest, since children enjoy the mythical storyline and spotting details in the historic streets. Parents get to explore cultural highlights, while kids feel like they’re on a treasure hunt through San Sebastián’s most atmospheric neighborhood.
