Flying to Bilbao: tips and information for your trip
Bilbao’s mix of modern architecture, historic landmarks, and unspoiled landscapes are yours to discover. Located in northern Spain, this port city and capital of Biscay province, is the Basque Country’s industrial, political, and cultural center. With around 350,000 residents, Bilbao is also one of Spain’s largest cities.
No trip to Bilbao would be complete without a visit to the world-famous Guggenheim Museum. Its striking mix of titanium, glass, and limestone showcases the architectural brilliance of American architect Frank O. Gehry. Inside the museum, you can explore its collection of contemporary art, before enjoying fine dining in a wholly unique setting. After your flight to Bilbao, take time to explore the city’s lively Old Town and the banks of the Nervión River.
