    Your ride up! It was a much smoother ride than it looks!
    Amy A.

    When you are in San Sebastián, this is a must see location! We went today while visiting the area, and loved our experience. We enjoyed our ride up the mountain. The views will leave you drooling as your jaw drop at the beautiful sights. Be sure to bring your camera and a jacket! (It gets windy at the top from the ocean, and it has perfect views for photos.) There is also a hotel at the top where you can get cafe con leche and relax on couches before heading back down. They accept cards and cash at this location.

    Funicular Fun
    Joe R.

    Midway up the steep east side of Monte Igueldo, we waved to the descending funicular car in appreciation of their gravitational potential energy hoisting us up the mountain. Funicular physics aside, we made the three minute inclined journey to check-out the mountaintop amusement park and admire the panoramic views. Built in 1912, the funicular on Monte Igueldo is the third oldest cable railway in Spain. The round-trip ticket cost €3.10 and included entrance to the amusement park. According to our young-adult daughters, the amusement park was childish and antiquated, but the final plummet on the roller coaster was a worthy thrill. After a few rides and a bag of popcorn, they were ready to have a look at the view. From our lofty vantage point, the golden sands of La Concha Beach outlined the semi-circular La Conch Bay like the rim of a scallop shell. Shimmering in the distance, the iridescent San Sebastian earned its nickname as "The Pearl of the Cantabrian Sea". With the coastal views etched in our camera's memory cards, we boarded the funicular for our return to sea level. Midway down the mountain, we waved to the ascending funicular car; this time for their counterbalance keeping us from a free-fall into the station below.

    Beautiful view!

    Beautiful view at the top!! Take the funikular to the top and walk around. Be sure to bring your camera. If you have little kids, the amusement park at the top will be fun, but doesn't necessarily cater to adults.

    The train.

    Unlike some of the other San Sebastian attractions, you don't stumble upon the Funicular unless you go looking for it.
