Bilbao holidays

Between history and modernity, tradition and innovation, the cultural hub of the Spanish Basque Country, Bilbao, has established itself as one of the most exciting cities in Spain. Located on the glistening waters of the Nervion River, which runs through the city and flows into the Cantabrian Sea, located a stone’s throw from the centre, Bilbao’s backdrop is one of lush rolling hills and endless sky.

Bilbao Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

During your Bilbao holidays head first to the shining jewel in its crown – the Guggenheim Museum - a towering titanium giant that glistens in the sunlight and houses some of the most prominent artwork of modern time. The Art District is nearby, where you’ll be blown away by the works on display. Submerse yourself in the history of the city while you wander around the churches of the Old Town; stop by the Santiago Cathedral; uncover the ancient collections at the Archaeological Museum; and dream of the many people who have wandered Bilbao’s streets before you.

Head to a bar and fill up on pintxos –Basque’s answer to tapas – before going to La Ribera Market, Europe’s largest indoor food market, to feast on fresh fruit and listen to jazz. A trip to Bilbao is a hard act to follow.
