There are several museums of interest in San Sebastian, some of which include the Aquarium (Paseo del Muelle 34) which has a museum about the Bay of Biscay and a vast collection of tropical fish. There is an underwater tunnel where you will come across several types of sharks and rays. The Museo Naval (Paseo de Muelle 24) has good explanations of Basque seafaring, while the Museo de San Telmo has a collection of Baroque and Renaissance paintings and is housed in a magnificent 16th century monastery. There are two hills you can walk to the top of, the first, Monte Urgull which has a statue of Christ at the top and low castle walls. The second, Monte Igueldo offers a fabulous view across the Bahia de la Concha and there is a funicular that takes you to the top. It is possible to see San Sebastian by bus, of which you can get on and off when you wish and it includes a headphone commentary. On top of the culture, there are plenty of beaches to relax on, or surf at. The two best beaches are Playa de la Concha and Playa de Ondarreta. Popular festivals in San Sebastian are the International Jazz Festival, in July, and the film festival in the second half of September. There is also a regatta on the first two Sundays of September.
