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:

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:

2.4 Sergio Travelled with couple October 2025 "I have not slept a single night out of the five I had booked. Four hundred and something euros down the drain, I think that says it all."
No he dormido ni una de cinco noches que tenía reservadas.cuatrocientos y pico euros a la basura,creo que con eso lo digo todo.
"And so much, but I will only say that you better not take these offers, they are a scam. The Senator Gandía is very good, however, this one in Bilbao I do not recommend at all, maybe for one night and for a maximum of 40 euros the room. I'll leave it here."
Y tanto, pero solo voy a decir que ofertas de estas mejor no cojáis,son una estafa .El senator gandía muy bien sin embargo este de Bilbao no lo recomiendo en absoluto ,quizás una noche y por 40 euros máximo la habitación.Ahi lo dejo.

8 Cris September 2025 Spacious and clean rooms. The location is 25 minutes from Bilbao. The staff is top-notch, both the waiters and the reception and cleaning service.
Habitaciones amplias y limpias. La ubicación a 25min de Bilbao. El personal es de 10, tanto camareros como recepción y servicio de limpieza.
The food is a bit scarce and nothing special, more variety and more homemade would be great.
La comida es un poco escasa y no es gran cosa, más variedad y más casera estaría genial.
