Exit the bus and head towards the waterfront. You should see the museum ahead along Av. de Severiano Ballesteros; it is approximately a 10-minute walk from the bus stop.
Walking
If you are already near the beachfront promenade, simply walk along the promenade heading east towards the 'Palacio de la Magdalena.' Continue walking until you reach the intersection with Av. de Severiano Ballesteros. Turn left and walk straight for about 5 minutes. The Museo Marítimo del Cantábrico will be on your right.
Taxi
You can hail a taxi from any location in Santander. Just tell the driver 'Museo Marítimo del Cantábrico' or provide the address: 'Av. de Severiano Ballesteros, s/n.' The ride should be short, depending on your current location, typically around 5 to 15 minutes.
Bicycle
If you prefer cycling, there are bike rental services available around the city. Rent a bike and head towards the waterfront.
