Bilbao travel tips
Start your exploration of Bilbao with the Guggenheim Museum, the city's main attraction
Many tourists come to Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim Museum. Its distinctive titanium and glass building on the Nervion river impresses many travellers. Frank Gehry designed the museum in 1997 as part of a complete Bilbao renovation. The museum houses 19 galleries with temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. Much attention is paid to Basque artists and the exhibitions of David Hockney and Richard Serra.
To save money in Bilbao, look for accommodation on the Nervion River embankment and near the central metro stations
The most expensive hotels and apartments in Bilbao are concentrated in the area of the Guggenheim Museum, Casco Viejo, and Zubizuri Bridge. If you are counting on cheaper accommodation, look out for the Nervion embankment and the central metro stations.
Be sure to try the fish and seafood in Bilbao's restaurants
Bilbao is located close to the coast, so seafood and fish are popular here. Local specialities are cuttlefish in ink sauce, white bonito tuna, fish al-horno, bacalao al pil-pil (cod in jelly), and baby glass eel.
