Whether you live in the city or fancy a getaway, Bilbao always has something new to offer. Reborn after its industrial transformation, the capital of Biscay blends cutting-edge architecture, a charming old town and a food scene that has become a benchmark both in and beyond the Basque Country.
Even if you already know them by sight, these key spots in the city are always worth another visit. From the titanium of the Guggenheim to the lanes of the Casco Viejo, these are places that never lose their appeal, whether you're showing them to a visitor or rediscovering them yourself.
Designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum is the ultimate symbol of Bilbao's transformation, with its curved titanium forms reflected in the waters of the Nervión estuary.
Beyond its contemporary art collection, the building itself is a work of art, with outdoor sculptures such as Jeff Koons' giant "Puppy" that have become symbols of the city.
Popularly known as "the Seven Streets", the Casco Viejo is Bilbao's historic core, a medieval network of arcaded streets that preserves the original layout of the town founded in 1300.
Its pintxo bars, the Cathedral of Santiago and the lively atmosphere that reigns pretty much at any hour of the day make it the city's social heart, essential for understanding the most authentic side of Bilbao.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 1893 transporter bridge connects Portugalete and Getxo over the Nervión estuary, and is the oldest of its kind still in operation in the world.
Crossing it aboard the suspended gondola or climbing up to its upper walkway, 50 metres high, offers spectacular views over the mouth of the Nervión and the Biscay coast.
Perched on a hilltop overlooking the centre of Bilbao, this 16th-century Gothic basilica is dedicated to the patron saint of Biscay, the Virgin of Begñoa, deeply venerated by locals.
Its staircase, known as "Las Escalinatas", directly connects the Casco Viejo with the basilica, and its esplanade offers some of the best panoramic views over the city.
This neo-baroque building, built in the late 19th century right by the estuary, is one of the city's most elegant institutional buildings, with a lavishly decorated façade.
Its location next to the Ayuntamiento Bridge and the Arriaga Theatre makes it an essential stop on any walk through Bilbao's historic centre.
Considered for years to be the largest covered market in Europe, the Mercado de la Ribera brings together dozens of stalls selling fresh Basque produce under an Art Deco building right by the estuary.
It's the perfect place to discover local food through its pintxos and seasonal produce, in an atmosphere that blends tradition and modernity.
Housed in the former Euskalduna shipyards, the Itsasmuseum traces the close relationship between Bilbao and the sea, with historic vessels, models and pieces that tell centuries of Biscayan seafaring tradition.
Its location right on the estuary, with views over the Salve Bridge and the Guggenheim, makes it a perfect stop to round off a visit to the city's most modern area.
Accessible via a picturesque century-old funicular from the city centre, Mount Artxanda offers the most complete panoramic views over Bilbao, with the estuary, the Guggenheim and the surrounding mountains as a backdrop.
It's a perfect plan for sunset, with restaurants and a recreational area at the top, ideal for rounding off the climb with a meal or a drink.
Funbooker hand-picks experiences for people who already know the city and want something different for the weekend, or simply want to surprise a visitor. Ideas for rediscovering Bilbao from another angle.
Discover the city's flavours through a food tour with stops at selected bars and venues, tasting top-notch pintxos and Basque specialities.
The route blends food with history and fun facts about the neighbourhoods it passes through, a highly rated activity for discovering the most authentic side of Bilbao, beyond the Guggenheim.
Head straight into the museum without waiting in the main entrance queue, accompanied by a guide who'll help you understand the works and the building's architecture in more depth.
It's the perfect option to make the most of your time in high season, when queues at the entrance can get considerably long.
Combine the museum ticket with a guided tour of the building's exterior, discovering the architectural details and the sculptures surrounding the Guggenheim, such as Louise Bourgeois' famous spider "Maman".
A great way to understand the impact this building had on the urban regeneration of the whole city, whether before or after exploring its galleries.
Visit the city's maritime museum at your own pace, discovering Bilbao's naval history in a former shipyard converted right on the Nervión estuary.
An affordable and accessible option to round off your visit to the Guggenheim area with a bit more local history.
