Bilbao at a Glance
About Bilbao
Bilbao is a treasure trove of culture and innovation, where the city's vibrant energy is palpable in every corner. The Guggenheim Museum, a stunning piece of architecture, is an unmissable attraction that showcases Bilbao's passion for art and design. What makes this city truly special is the affection that locals, known as "bilbaínos," have for their city, which is evident in the warm hospitality and welcoming atmosphere that visitors experience.
The best time to visit Bilbao is during the spring and autumn seasons when the weather is mild, ideal for exploring the city's many parks and gardens. For first-timers, a must-do is to take the metro to the Abando station and then walk up to the Guggenheim Museum, as this provides a stunning view of the Nervión River and the city's iconic landmark.
