Why this destination is a must-visit

Bilbao, located in northern Spain’s Basque Country, is a vibrant city where tradition meets modernity. Once an industrial hub, Bilbao has transformed into a cultural and architectural powerhouse, famous for its world-class museums, innovative cuisine, and lively atmosphere. Surrounded by green mountains and close to the Bay of Biscay, Bilbao offers a perfect blend of urban charm and natural beauty.

Top Attractions:

  • Guggenheim Museum: A must-see, this iconic modern art museum designed by Frank Gehry is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture. Don't miss the outdoor sculptures, such as Puppy, a giant floral dog, and The Spider by Louise Bourgeois.
  • Casco Viejo (Old Town): Explore the historic heart of Bilbao with its narrow cobbled streets, charming squares and bustling markets. Visit Plaza Nueva for pintxos (Basque tapas) and discover local craft shops.
  • Bilbao Fine Arts Museum: One of Spain's finest art museums, with a vast collection of European and Basque art, from the Middle Ages to contemporary works.
  • La Ribera Market: Europe's largest covered food market is a feast for the senses, with fresh local produce, seafood and plenty of places to sample Basque cuisine.

Local gastronomy:

  • Pintxos: A Basque speciality, these small bites are served on bread and topped with anything from seafood to Iberian ham. Try them in the local bars of Casco Viejo or Plaza Nueva.
  • Bacalao al pil pil: A traditional dish of cod cooked with garlic and olive oil, showcasing the region's seafood heritage.
  • Txangurro: A savoury Basque-style stuffed crab dish, perfect for seafood lovers.
  • Txakoli Wine: A lightly sparkling dry white wine from the Basque Country, ideal with pintxos or seafood.
  • Basque Cheesecake: A creamy and slightly burnt cheesecake, often served as a dessert in Bilbao's restaurants.

Family-friendly activities:

  • Bilbao Maritime Museum: A fascinating look at Bilbao's maritime heritage, with interactive exhibits and an outdoor shipyard.
  • Doña Casilda Park: A large urban park with fountains, duck ponds and playgrounds, perfect for a relaxing afternoon with the kids.
  • Euskal Museoa (Basque Museum): Discover the history and culture of the Basque Country through interesting exhibits suitable for all ages.

Day excursions nearby:

  • San Juan de Gaztelugatxe: Just 40 minutes from Bilbao, this dramatic islet with a winding staircase to a hilltop chapel is a must-see. Game of Thrones fans will recognise it as Dragonstone.
  • Guernica (Gernika): Visit the town that inspired Picasso's famous painting, learn about its history at the Peace Museum and see the Tree of Gernika, a symbol of Basque identity.

Beaches of Getxo and Sopelana:

  • These nearby coastal towns offer sandy beaches perfect for relaxing or trying your hand at surfing.

9.7 María Del Pilar Travelled with couple April 2025
La atención de las chicas de la recepción muy amables. El hotel limpio.y tener la parada del autobús delante del hotel genial para ir a Bilbao.

4.9 Luis Travelled with couple February 2025 The staff was always friendly and if you go to visit a city like Bilbao, it is a dormitory town and parking is no problem.
El personal siempre fue amable y si vas a visitar una ciudad como Bilbao, es una ciudad dormitorio de la misma y para aparcar no tienes problema
I understand that there are hotels that have to host soccer or basketball teams, but we coincided the two days with a volleyball team and a lot of noise in the rooms, did not help the rest and then when we went down to breakfast they thought they were in a sports residence. That place is a hotel and is not your residence, although it is the fault of the hotel manager and if they pay then send the money. We will not return.
Entiendo que haya hoteles que tengan que hospedar a equipos de fútbol o baloncesto, pero coincidimos los dos días con un equipo de voley y mucho ruido en las habitaciones, no ayudaron al descanso y después cuando bajamos al desayuno se creían que estaban en una residencia deportiva. Ese lugar es un hotel y no es vuestra residencia, aunque la culpa es del regente del hotel y si pagan pues manda el dinero. No volveremos.

7.7 María Angeles Travelled with family January 2024 The hotel has 3 stars and in general would need a reform, especially carpets and some mattresses. But they make up for it with the friendliness of the workers and it is also what you paid for. In my case I booked 2 rooms with breakfast included and tickets to the Guggenheim museum. For me everything was fine. We were very comfortable, they told us to park in the area behind the hotel for free. Breakfast is also fine. We didn't want anything different for what we paid. The free tickets to the Guggenheim was what made us choose this hotel.
El hotel tiene 3 estrellas y en general necesitaría una reforma, sobre todo moquetas y algunos colchones. Pero lo suplen con la amabilidad de los trabajadores y también es lo que has pagado. En mi caso reservé 2 habitaciones con desayuno incluido y entradas al museo Guggenheim. Para mí todo correcto. Estuvimos muy a gusto, nos indicaron aparcar en la zona de detrás del hotel gratis. El desayuno también está bien. No queramos algo distinto por lo que hemos pagado. Las entradas para el Guggenheim gratis fue lo que nos decantó por este hotel.
The room and the bathroom with bathtub are great, but need a little renovation.
Moquetas viejas y sucias y puertas que hace falta 3 en 1. La habitación y el baño con bañera son grandes, pero necesitan un poco de reforma.

6.7 Vanesa Travelled with family February 2023 It has not corresponded to what was contracted, since my son was given a travel cot when a triple room with three beds was requested, that is without counting the blow that they hit me in the car in the parking lot and they have not left me a note
No se ha correspondido con lo contratado, ya que a mi hijo le pusieron cuna de viaje cuando estaba solicitado una habitación triple con tres camas, eso sin contar el golpe que me dieron en el coche en el aparcamiento y no me han dejado nota
