What to expect
The evening starts with a short cable car journey offering progressive views as you climb. From the Artxanda platform, the city sprawls below in full evening dress—a genuine shift in atmosphere from daytime. You'll then walk through Abandoibarra's sculptural landscape before boarding a tram, which gives your legs a rest while you observe the transition from modern to medieval zones. The Old Quarter section is a guided walk through narrow cobbled streets where the guide contextualises what you're seeing rather than simply listing facts.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for the Old Quarter walking section. Weather can change quickly at elevation, so bring a light layer. Cable car and tram tickets are included. The route is fully accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs across all sections and transportation.
