Ciao, bilbao

One of the jewels of northern Spain, Bilbao is a city full of surprises and delights. It boasts a unique blend of tradition and modernity, which is reflected in its stunning architecture, rich cultural heritage, and outstanding cuisine. At its heart lies the magnificent Guggenheim Museum, one of the most impressive structures in the world. Its streets are alive with the sound of Euskara, Europe's oldest and most enigmatic language, while the Casco Viejo (Old Town) is full of traditional bars for sampling pintxos.

Basque Archaeological, Ethnographic & Historical Museum

This museum traces Basque history from the Paleolithic to today, covering culture, language, and daily life. Most signage is in Basque and Spanish, but English leaflets are available for the main exhibits.

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.

Zubizuri Bridge

Zubizuri, meaning 'white bridge' in Basque, is a steel-and-glass footbridge over the Nervión River, designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 1997. It links Campo Volantín on one side to Uribitarte on the other. The deck was originally made of translucent glass bricks, but they became dangerously slippery when wet, so now there’s a non-slip covering over much of the walking surface. From the middle of the bridge, you get a good view of the river and the Guggenheim, especially at sunrise or when the lights come on at night.

Plentzia

Plentzia is a lively coastal town just 30 minutes from Bilbao. Its charming streets descend from a hill to a sandy beach, making it a popular weekend escape. The town offers a variety of bars and cafés serving fresh, locally caught seafood. You can also watch Basque pelota at the local frontón (or pelota court), a traditional game where players hit a hard ball against a wall with their hands or a wooden bat.
