Airport shuttle service easy to find and cheap. Many hostels near bus terminal and cheap dormitories. Beach within walking distance from bus terminal. Dog-friendly. As a single woman you can be out near bus terminal with no problems, felt safe. Local busses cheap. Bus to Bilbao only 7,70 Euros. I really enjoyed Santander.Renate - 10Scored 10

An interesting place to relax and discover the culture of the northern part of Spain, a safe city. Excellent cuisine famous for tapas/pintxos e.g. in the market in the city centre. Lots of parks and green spaces, friendly people. The Cabo Faro lighthouse is worth a visit, there are the beaches and their lively bustle, the Magdalena peninsula and the market in the centre of town, where you can enjoy a great meal. Lots of museums to visit.AAnonymousSlovakia - 10Scored 10

A handsome, friendly city which is undoubtedly underrated as a destination. Safe, clean, lots of varied sights, beautiful coastal walks right from the city centre. Inexpensive! Superb prehistoric museum. Bring a jacket / umbrella, it's cooler and wetter than elsewhere in Spain. Note: it is a very monolingual area: other than in hotels and the occasional individual in a shop or cafe, most people there speak ONLY Spanish!NuthallUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months.
This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months. For £31 per person return flights from the UK, it is cheaper than staying at home. Santander is a vibrant, fun and energetic city with plenty to occupy any visitor. The food options are to many to count and the bars are fun and friendly through the evening.

I saw lots of reviews recommending this town.
I saw lots of reviews recommending this town. It was not for me. The planetarium, which many raved about? Closed. Has been closed for a while, actually. And apparently when it was open, it wasn't open to walk-ins. Tour groups only, pre-booked, minimum of 5 people. Many restaurants were reservation only, actually. Many more were closed. Saw my first homeless tent encampment ten minutes after arriving in the city. Graffiti everywhere. So many ATMs on Google maps, marked closed. Shops closed or going out of business. "Rebajas" signs everywhere. So many multi-lingual beggars. Lots of smashed windows, sadly. The town looked like some of the worse areas of other cities I've been to, but all over. Even the church, which was recommended as a very nice building, had homeless and beggars in it. I was there on Sunday (so many things closed) and Monday. For a place supposedly well known for it's meals of fresh fish, mine was bland at best. For a Spanish town, surprisingly few tapas places.JohnIreland - 10Scored 10
Santander is so quaint.
Santander is so quaint. The historic buildings are beautiful. There are so many bars, tapas bars and restaurants everything is so easy to find and within walking distance. It just felt so clean and just a lovely place to visit we will be back. We went to Bilbao for the day on the bus from the bus station, but pre book your seats as it’s always busy. It takes about 1.5 hours but well worth it then you can jump on the tram line into the centre There were too many bars and restaurants to mention but the one right outside the hotel was wonderful too.CarolineUnited Kingdom

- 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 1,351 reviewsA boutique hotel indeed, very small, but perfect for a short stay. Very comfortable and quiet, great facilities, immaculately clean. Parking was easy to find. The hotel is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach, and about a 10 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Theresa suggested a fish restaurant about 20 mins walk from the hotel, which was a fantastic experience. Also, the route takes you through an old tunnel under part of Santander. And a good selection for breakfast in the morning.LaurenceUnited Kingdom
