Alderdi Eder Park

Alderdi Eder Park

4.2
4.0/5
1 reviews
Alderdi Eder Park is a scenic, historic seaside city park that combines natural beauty with urban charm. Located right next to the City Hall and La Concha Bay, it is a green oasis in the city center facing the sea, where visitors can enjoy the sea breeze and views of the bay and Santa Clara Island. The park is rich in vegetation, with palm trees common to the seaside and the distinctive "tamarisk" (a shrub or tree with pink flowers) standing out. Its twisted trunks and soft branches sway in the sea breeze, and paired with several geometric flower beds and neat lawns, the overall layout is exquisite and elegant. Alderdi Eder Park also features a romantic, nostalgic carousel with a strong Belle Époque style, which is an attraction loved by both children and adult visitors. The park also has decorative ponds with sculptures and fountains, as well as several benches for resting and sightseeing.San Sebastian · 393m from downtown
Miramar Palace

Miramar Palace

Miramar Palace is located in Donostia-San Sebastian, in the Guipuzcoa Province of the Basque Country, Spain, and is one of the most iconic historical buildings in the area. Built in the late 19th century, the palace was commissioned by Queen Regent Maria Christina of Spain to serve as a summer residence for the royal family. The architecture blends English country estate style with neo-Gothic elements, featuring a combination of red brick and light-colored stone that gives it a dignified and elegant appearance. Since the 20th century, the palace has witnessed historical changes such as royal successions and urban development, and was later taken over by the municipal government and opened to the public. Today, it not only retains a rich historical atmosphere but also serves as a venue for cultural exchanges, academic events, and conferences. Strolling through the palace gardens, visitors can feel the elegance of the former royal summer retreats while enjoying the unique natural scenery of the coast, making it an important window for travelers to understand the local history and culture.San Sebastian · 1.5 km from downtown

The bridge's technical design is also rigorous, featuring 6 shock absorbers, which allowed Calatrava to create a pedestrian bridge that spans the Nervion River and complements the city's style while largely ensuring its structural integrity.Bilbao · 76.8 km from San Sebastian

Basilique Saint-Sernin de Toulouse is one of the largest existing Romanesque churches in the world and the largest rectangular church in Europe. The church was built between 1080–1120.

Basilique Saint-Sernin de Toulouse features classic architecture. The two niches and the tympanum above the main entrance, along with 800 carved capitals, depict the Ascension of Jesus Christ, the Christian Savior.

Alderdi Eder parkea is a pleasant urban park and leisure area situated south of Old Town and northeast of La Concha Beach. The park is filled with palm trees, other interesting tree species and nicely landscaped flowerbeds. There are walking paths, park benches, a merry-go-round and other light entertainment for the little ones.You can see the historic City Hall building and walk along the promenade enjoying views of the sea and beach nearby at Alderdi Eder Parkea. Overall, this is a nice spot if you are looking for green space or leisure grounds while in San Sebastian. Note that there is not much shade anywhere in the park so bring a hat and apply sunscreen if you plan to spend much time here.

A very beautiful place. If you're on a tour bus, be prepared for a hike, bring comfortable shoes and water; there are no cafes or restaurants at the very end. If you're looking for a budget option, you can take a bus from Bilbao to Bakio, then walk 3 km.

The cable ferry bridge transports vehicles and pedestrians to the other side of the river through a huge bridge box. You can also take the elevator to the top of the bridge, walk on it, and enjoy the entire cityscape of Bilbao. The one-way ticket price is 4.5€.

Place de la Bourse offers a timeless, picturesque experience that perfectly showcases Bordeaux’s charm, sophistication, and refined urban beauty for every visitor.

The Garonne River is also a very interesting landscape in Toulouse. The river scenery here is also quite interesting. The night view is very good. You can also see some bridges across the river. It is also quite good to experience some feelings of this city. It is very good for night tours.

The cathedral in Toulouse is worth visiting. There are many relics inside! It is very spectacular! I just don't know how to get to the top of the tower! There is also a underground floor in the church that you can visit! There are many small boxes inside! What do you think they are! [Price ratio] Good [View] Very good!

【Bilbao】This place, whether it is the new city or the old city, is beautiful and a good place. I bought gas in Spain and found it was half cheaper than in France. I felt like I finally got gas at a reasonable price. No wonder the yellow vests in France were going to smash, smash, loot and burn, but after all the trouble, gas prices still haven’t come down‍♀️ At that time, I had the urge to fill every empty bottle in the car and take it back to France.
