Principal Auditorium
The Principal Auditorium at Kursaal occupies the larger cube, the volume closest to the Urumea river, and seats 1,806 spectators. Originally conceived as a concert hall for orchestral performances, it was adapted during the design phase to accommodate opera productions and large-scale events. What to see at this San Sebastián venue includes world-class performances across classical music, opera and contemporary entertainment.
Chamber Hall
The Sala de Cámara is a concert and performance venue housed within the smaller cube of San Sebastián's Kursaal building, with a capacity of 600. This more intimate space is designed for smaller-scale musical and theatrical productions, offering a distinct experience from the main auditorium. It's an ideal venue to visit for chamber music, recitals, and experimental performances.
Sala Kubo
Sala Kubo is an exhibition space of approximately 1,000 m² housed within the striking Kursaal building and managed by Kutxa savings bank. Its generous floor space and distinctive architecture make it well-suited to hosting large-scale exhibitions, establishing it as a significant cultural venue in San Sebastián. The gallery's prominent position within the city's cultural landscape makes it worth a visit for contemporary art enthusiasts.
Exhibition Halls
The Kursaal's exhibition halls are dedicated spaces built into the podium of this architectural complex, hosting regular exhibitions. They sit alongside an auditorium, chamber hall and multipurpose rooms, forming an integral part of the venue's cultural programme.

Terrace Between Cubes
The Terraza entre cubos is a substantial public terrace situated between the two distinctive prismatic volumes of the Kursaal building. It offers direct views across the Cantábrico Sea towards Zurriola beach and the mouth of the Urumea river. The terrace operates at two different levels, with the higher section positioned in front of the smaller cube, making it an excellent spot to visit for panoramic coastal views of San Sebastián.
