Madrid Airport to San Sebastian

- Bus: From the Madrid Barajas T4 bus station, you can book a bus directly to the San Sebastian Bus Station. The tickets cost around fifty euros (40 to 52 euros). The trip takes around five hours. Here is a link to book your tickets: Wherever you want to go - Alsa.

Traveling by bus or taxi are both good options. Traveling by bus will save you money, but it requires more trips. On the other hand, taking a cab from the Bilbao Airport to the hotel, if split between two or three people, is around 50 to 70 euros per person, which is not cheap. Still, it gives you the peace of mind that you will get to your hotel without any issues.
