Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Opened in 1912, this funicular climbs 63 meters in just three minutes. The mountaintop amusement park has been entertaining families for over a century with its vintage wooden roller coaster and swing boat rides.
Destacados: At the top, an original 1928 swing boat ride still operates, requiring two operators to manually push it higher with each swing. The panoramic terrace offers a 360-degree view where you can spot all three of San Sebastián's beaches, the harbor, and the green hills of the Basque countryside in a single sweep.
Consejos de expertos
- Walk up the pedestrian path alongside the tracks for free if you're fit it takes about 15 minutes and saves the funicular fare.
- Visit in the late afternoon on a weekday to avoid families and long queues for the funicular.
- Bring a jacket even in summer, the wind at the top can be surprisingly strong and cold.
- Skip the restaurant at the summit and pack a small picnic to enjoy on the free benches near the viewpoint terrace.
