Bilbao travel guide

Set on the curves of the River Nervión and surrounded by green hills, Bilbao is a striking city and the star of Spain's Basque region, with its cultural treasures and gastronomic riches. Basque cuisine is among the best in Spain, and Bilbao boasts some of the region's leading restaurants.

Bilbao is also home to some world-famous architectural wonders, such as the celebrated Guggenheim Museum and Euskalduna Palace. The wonderful Old Town is another must see, with its bustling streets lined with ancient mansions, small boutiques and bars, and a gothic cathedral.
