What can we do in Bilbao?

Discover Bilbao's most important places of interest.

The dynamic city of Bilbao, capital of the province of Bizkaia in the Basque Country region, is an internationally famous destination that is very much in touch with trends in art, cuisine, music and urban development. For all these reasons, it is perhaps home to one of the most avant-garde museums in Spain.

Bilbao is a dynamic city with an exquisite cultural programme, fairs, concerts and festivals of international prestige throughout the year. Whatever date you choose, you will always find something interesting to do in Bilbao.

The Bilbao Jazz Club, is a meeting organized since 1991 between jazz fans and lovers, where the best exponents of the genre meet in the month-to-month concert cycles, throughout the whole year.

Even out of the water, surf lovers have their space in Bilbao, as it hosts the interesting film festival, Bilbao Surf Film Festival, held in the ItsasMussem, during the last days of January, with a selection of films of the genre of this hypnotic sport.

Bilbao is a cosmopolitan and avant-garde capital, with an architecture that is out of the ordinary, even in the old town; in any case, it will not cease to surprise you as you discover it.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the most remarkable avant-garde prints in all of Spain. In fact, the museum receives more than one million visits a year. The building itself is an innovative work of art with curved lines and smooth contours carved in limestone, glass and titanium. The reflections of the building in the gentle stream of the Bilbao estuary make the Guggenheim much more attractive and photogenic. 

One of the nicest and funniest sculptures in the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is Jeff Koons’ Flower Puppy. Another sculpture that arouses the interest of visitors is the spider, Mummy by Louise Bourgeois. During your visit to the Guggenheim you should experience ZERO, a geometric and sensory experience, projected on a curved 300-degree screen.

Old Town
Now let’s go to the roots of Bilbao, the old town, here you must walk along the Seven Streets and dare to try some pintxos in one of the bars in the area. Continuing with the walk, you will arrive at the cathedral of Santiago, diaphanous and monumental, a stopping point for many of those who make the Way of Saint James. During your walk through the old town, visit the Ribera market and the Arriaga Theatre.

The bridges of Bilbao
The city of Bilbao has many bridges, from different periods, styles and sizes, although all unique and with their own personality. 

Among the most notable bridges are: the Frank Gehry Bridge, in honour of the designer of the Guggenheim. The Euskalduna Bridge, which just below it houses the Maritime Museum of the Ria de Bilbao, and the Deusto bridge drawbridge.

Following the list of bridges in Bilbao, there is the Pedro Arrupe footbridge, which is the walking link between the Guggenheim Museum and the Deusto University. The Salve Bridge is dedicated to the singing of the sailors and from where they celebrate the diving competition, RedBull Clif Diving. And the pedestrian bridge of Calatrava with its glass floor.

The delicate reflection of the Arenal Bridge and the buildings over the river, will invite you to take more than one specular photo. While the bridge of the Bilbao City Hall, the bridge of the Ribera and the bridge of San Antón, show their more stately and classic personality.

Finally, we have left the Portugalete suspension bridge, a bridge capable of transporting you with everything and your car from one end of the River Nervión to the other. A marvel of Basque ingenuity and the oldest working bridge of its kind in the world.

Very close to Bilbao, only 20 minutes by car from the centre, are the beaches of Barinatxe and Atxabiribil, both of which have a good reputation among surfers, although they are equally excellent for having a good time.

In the surroundings of Bilbao there are very attractive places that are sure to attract your attention.

Barakaldo
Less than 10 kilometres from the centre of Bilbao is the town of Barakaldo, the second most populated in the province, which also has an interesting monumental representation of the most modern and avant-garde Biscay.

During your visit, pay special attention to the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, a modern and unique building that hosts important congresses, concerts and sports events. Also, take a walk through the Botanical Garden, in San Vicente, a wide green area with a lake and trees grouped thematically; in this same area you will find the Palace of San Vicente.

Other monuments of great architectural value that you should visit are the building of the Conservatory of Music, the Larrea Palace, the Barakaldo Theatre, the church of Santa Teresa, the church of San Vicente. As well as the Plaza Bide Onera and the Monument to Industry.

San Sebastian
A little over an hour’s drive away is the city of San Sebastian, world famous for holding one of the most prestigious film festivals in the industry. To visit Donostia is to immerse yourself in the Basque culture, its traditions, its gastronomy, its architecture and its beaches.

A must in your visit to San Sebastian is the Concha beach, one of the best in Europe. The coast of San Sebastian has several beaches for both families and young people. For the family, there is Ondarreta beach, and for surfers, there is Zurriola beach.

Let yourself be surprised by the architecture of the old town, Plaza de la Constitución, the Basilica of Santa María, the church of San Vicente and the San Telmo Museum. If you want to enjoy great views of the coast and the city, then you should visit Monte Igeldo and Monte Urgull.
