Although San Sebastián does have a public bus system and taxis, there is really minimal need to use these means of transportation. Students are within walking distance to most everything, including the university and the ISA office. Walking is the best way to learn street names, experience the personality of the city, and soak up the local culture. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk much more than you might at home. If you get lost, don't be afraid to practice your Spanish to get yourself back on track.
