How to Get from Biarritz Airport to San Sebastián

Traveling from Biarritz Airport (BIQ) to San Sebastián takes less than 1.5 hours. Cost — from €6 to about €145, depending on how you get there.

The distance is around 48 km. Not far at all — just a bit across the French-Spanish border.

By Bus

FlixBus and BlaBlaCar Bus both run direct services from the airport to the San Sebastián bus station. No transfers, no stress.

The trip usually takes about 1 hour. Buses run several times a day — from early morning to late evening. Tickets start from just €6 if booked early. Prices can go up to €20 closer to departure.

You can buy tickets online or at the airport. Easy either way.

By Train

There’s no direct train, so it’s not the fastest choice.

You’ll need to take a bus or taxi to Hendaye first — that’s about 30 minutes away. Then catch the Euskotren to San Sebastián. The whole journey takes around 2 hours, including waiting time.

Total cost? Around €10 to €15. Worth it if you want to enjoy the scenery.

By Taxi

Taxis are available at the airport. No need to pre-book — just step outside the terminal.

The ride takes around 50 minutes. Expect to pay from €120 to €145, depending on time and traffic. It’s not cheap, but it gets you there directly and comfortably.

Transfer with Children

Cross-border travel with children can be tiring. Too much to carry, too many things to keep in mind.

Kiwitaxi lets you book a child seat in advance. It’s ready when the car arrives. You just focus on your family.

Transfer with Pets

Buses don’t always welcome pets, and trains can be tricky too.

Kiwitaxi has a pet-friendly option. Choose it when booking, and your animal companion will travel safely with you — no awkward looks, no surprises.

What to See in San Sebastián

This city is about feeling good. Walk along La Concha beach — it curves perfectly around the bay. Sand, sea, and that light you only get here. On sunny days, it’s pure joy.

Then dive into the old town. Pintxos everywhere, locals chatting over wine, music from somewhere around the corner. Turn one way, it’s a tiny bar. Turn again, it’s a view of the ocean.

Don’t rush. San Sebastián was made for slow steps and long evenings.
