The Basque naval museum at the port, covering shipbuilding, whaling and navigation.
The Untzi Museoa (Naval Museum) stands at the port beside the aquarium and presents the maritime history of the Basque coast, including fishing, whaling, shipbuilding and navigation. San Sebastian grew as a port, and the museum helps explain the trades that shaped the old town. Hours and admission were not confirmed by the sources consulted, so confirm them at the tourism office. The museum is in the old harbour, next to the aquarium, and easy to combine with a walk along the port and a climb up Monte Urgull. Allow around one hour.
