What to expect

Downtown San Sebastian Belle Epoque route

This self-paced city exploration game leads you through the heart of San Sebastian's Belle Epoque, where British and French inspiration shaped parks and buildings over a century ago. You complete the route in roughly 2 hours, but there is no time limit, so you can pause and resume at your own rhythm.

Features

• The self-guided city game in the Questo app turns the downtown area into your game board, guiding you from clue to clue without the need for a physical tour guide. You follow story prompts and tasks that reveal the historical sentiments of San Sebastian residents towards the French and the British as you go.
• Along the route through Belle Epoque parks and buildings, you discover elegant historic facades and learn some of the secrets behind their creation with British and French influence. The path focuses on the city center streets and green spaces that defined this era.
• Views of 2 beaches and the river that divides the city are built into the route, so you alternate between urban Belle Epoque architecture and open coastal scenery. The game highlights different vantage points over the shoreline and riverbanks as you progress.
• Flexible start, pause, and resume anytime functionality means you can take breaks for photos or snacks, then pick up the game exactly where you left off. With 24/7 availability and daily open booking, you decide whether to play in the morning, afternoon, or at night, and the experience remains free for kids.

Wrapping up

Once you complete the final task in the Questo app, your city game simply ends in downtown San Sebastian, and you are free to continue exploring on your own or head back using nearby public transportation.
