Things to Do in Bilbao

Bilbao hotels in the centre of town are a great home base for all of your Spanish adventures. The biggest item on everyone's list is to take in architect Frank Gehry's world-famous design for the Guggenheim Museum. For a taste of the Old World, make sure your walking tour includes the Plaza Nueva, a classic Spanish town square that’s home to the city's cathedral. And don’t forget to take a trip to the Casco Viejo neighbourhood and Etxebarria Park, with its unmistakable chimney and awesome views. Stop at the Ribera Market for picnic goodies to make a day of it. Didn’t get enough art? Visit the home of masters Miro, Picasso and Dali with our Barcelona accommodation before you head home.

Getting to and Around Bilbao

If you’re flying, you’ll land at Bilbao Airport (BIO), 13 km from town. You can also get to Bilbao from Portsmouth, England, via ferry service for a totally different adventure. To get around easily, book Bilbao accommodation on the metro or tram lines. Taxis are also a great way to navigate these hilly streets.
