Airport shuttle service easy to find and cheap.
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.

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.

- From $132.55 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 4,498 reviewsLovely location on el sardinero beach. Great view from the hotel balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free parking outside for our car. Rooms were big with plenty of storage space. We stayed 3 nights and had breakfast on the last morning. Would probably say not really worth €13 as was pretty much a cold buffet and coffee out of a machine. We had been to some cafes in Santander the previous 2 mornings and got fresh coffee and pastry for €3 euro each of better quality so would recommend doing this instead.
LauraUnited Kingdom - From $125.30 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 4,942 reviewsLovely view of the beach. All staff at the hotel were very friendly and a good breakfast. The location was perfect for the beach. Bus stop very close to the hotel to go into the centre of Santander (€1.30) There are some great restaurants and bars near the hotel. The area prides itself for it's excellent food. Cheap flight from Birmingham with Ryan Air which took only 1 hour 40 min and a 25 min taxi journey, great for a long weekend away.RussellUnited Kingdom
- 8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 10 reviewsA big thank you to Sira for excellent communications before we arrived in Santander then agreeing to meet us at the apartment and allowing us early access. Once we managed up the 6 flights of stairs (thanks again to Sira for her assistance) we found that the apartment was as we expected and very clean too. Good facilities for making a snack or light meal. Location is excellent for walking into the centre or eastwards to the beaches.

Hosted in a historic building, but the rooms are nice and modern. Staff were friendly and helpful with various things for my trip. Breakfast was held in another airy room and made for a nice morning in the middle of Santander. Around the area there's plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, the good beaches are a bus/boat ride away.
