Itsasmuseum — Bilbao Maritime Museum

Located at the old Euskalduna shipyard, Itsasmuseum dives into the city’s maritime past. Exhibitions focus on the estuary’s environment, the history of trade, and the development of shipbuilding. Highlights include detailed wooden ship models and outdoor displays of historical vessels, anchors, and the iconic Carola crane.

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.

Basilica of Begoña

Perched above Bilbao on Artagan Hill, the Basilica of Our Lady of Begoña was built starting in 1511 on the very spot where, legend says, the Virgin Mary appeared. The church mixes styles: mainly Gothic inside, a Renaissance front with a grand arch, and a belfry added in the early 20th century. Inside, there’s a polychrome wood carving of the Virgin of Begoña ('Amatxu' to locals) from the 14th century. Sailors often used to name their boats after her, and every 15 August (Assumption) and 11 October (Feast of Begoña), the place fills with pilgrims.

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.
