Probably if you travel to San Sebastian in summer you will not have many days of rain. However, the rest of the year the weather can be a surprise! Don’t panic! The city can be enjoyed in the same way on a wet day as on a sunny day. Here goes a list of what to do in San Sebastian on a rainy day.
San Telmo Museum
The San Telmo museum is located in the Old Part of the city, just behind the San Vicente church. Initially built in the XVI.th Century as a convent, the spectacular building is a clear example of the historical heritage in the city. This architectural gem represents the fusion of history with the modern world. It is the ideal place to learn a little more about Basque history and society. In fact, the museum takes the name of “Museum of Basque Society & Citizenship”. Definitely, a perfect plan to do on a rainy day in San Sebastian.
