A Walk Along the River

Take a stroll along the Nervión River starting at Palacio Euskalduna Jauregia, Bilbao’s modern conference and concert centre. The riverside path is lined with sculptures and impressive contemporary buildings. You’ll pass the Guggenheim Museum and cross the Zubizuri Footbridge, which connects the museum with the Ayuntamiento. It’s an easy, scenic walk that blends art, architecture, and city life in one route.

Plaza Nueva (Plaza Barria)

Plaza Nueva is Bilbao’s oldest surviving square, built in 1849. Pop by for some coffee, watch locals and visitors pass by, or try some of the city’s top pintxos. Café Bar Bilbao is one of the most famous here, known for its squid pintxo and the ham-and-onion version, which are local favourites.

Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park

Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park is the biggest green space in central Bilbao, built in 1907 on land donated by Casilda Iturrizar, a Spanish philanthropist. Its layout blends English-garden and French-garden styles: paths among mature trees, a botanical garden, ponds with ducks/swans/geese, fountains, a pergola, and children’s play areas. The Fine Arts Museum is situated on one edge of the park, and there’s a stage area for live performances. Locals often call it 'Parque de los Patos' (Ducks Park), and it’s open all year, day and night.

Algorta Old Port

Algorta’s Old Port is a small fishing quarter in Getxo, just 20 minutes from central Bilbao by metro. Whitewashed houses line the narrow streets down to the water. On summer evenings, locals gather outside bars for a beer or cider, often with green olives or fried calamari.
