Plan your trip to Donostia with our recommended activities

The Donosti Cup is much more than football. Make the most of your visit to the Basque Country by discovering new experiences and letting yourself be surprised by everything San Sebastián and its surroundings have to offer. Free time here is intense: from surf-friendly beaches to immersive museums, wellness spaces, and amusement parks with postcard-worthy views.

Here are some ideas to make the most of your time at the Donosti Cup... and return home with stories to tell:

Let’s start with the sea. Zurriola Beach is the meeting point for surfers from all over the world. At Zurriola Surf Eskola, it doesn’t matter if it’s your first wave or if you practically have a surfboard tattooed on your skin. Learning in a group with expert instructors guarantees laughs, epic wipeouts, and unforgettable memories.

Prefer relaxing over catching waves? At La Perla Thalassotherapy, seawater becomes your best ally. Hydrotherapy circuits, steam baths, massages with bay views... The same place that once charmed Queen Maria Cristina is now an urban oasis on the shore of La Concha.
If action is your thing, we’ve got you covered. At Donostia Laser Parkea, strategy and adrenaline come together in group laser tag games. And if you want to take it up a notch, Paintball Donosti offers themed fields where fun and teamwork are the real mission.

Looking for a different kind of afternoon? Just before the tournament, Ilusiona opens its doors in Urbil: a modern, welcoming leisure center with a surprise — the region’s first bowling alley! Twelve lanes, a VR zone, arcade games, and many more options to unwind with friends, family, or teammates.

In the mood for something cultural? At Chillida Leku, the monumental sculptures of Eduardo Chillida enter into dialogue with nature in a garden that’s pure art.

And don’t forget your Donosti Cup Card. With this badge — given to you at the age control — you’ll get exclusive discounts on many of these activities. Be sure to book in advance to ensure availability, especially during tournament days.
