These are the most interesting tourist spots the city houses:
The Old Part of Town:
The Old Part is the center of the nightlife in San Sebastian located between the Bay and the Urume river. This historical center houses a great quantity of bars and clubs that liven up the night. The Txikiteo restaurant is a pub, typically Basque, where a traditional Basque bar is well-known in the Historical Quarter. As well as the bars, there are cafés and discotheques that are the heart of the nightlife in San Sebastian, since in many Spanish cities, the discotheques open up late at night.
Plaza de La Constitución:
This beautiful square housed a bullring, and nowadays you can see the orange color and blue shutters with the numbered balconies, which the ring used to surround. Next to the square there is the amazing Santa Maria del Choir church.
