Sobre
Fatos 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.
Destaques: 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.
