Most international travelers use Bilbao Airport for the widest flight choice, then transfer east to San Sebastian, Getaria, and Zumaia or west to Getxo. San Sebastian Airport is closer to Donostia-San Sebastian but has fewer routes. Biarritz is a useful cross-border backup for French Basque Country connections. Once in the region, combine trains, buses, Metro Bilbao, taxis, and occasional rental cars based on how much dive gear you carry.
San Sebastian, Getaria, and Zumaia are linked by regional buses and Euskotren or bus combinations, while Getxo is easy from Bilbao on Metro Bilbao Line 1. A Mugi card helps with Gipuzkoa public transport.
