Shaking off its reputation as merely an industrial port town, Bilbao is now one of Spain's most visited cities, stocked with dazzling art galleries, architectural splendour and a revolutionary food scene. The cosmopolitan city is situated about 10 miles inland from Spain's northern coast, surrounded by green hills. Visitors come to admire the undulating form of the Guggenheim Museum that pays tribute to the city's appreciation of contemporary art and design, be immersed in Basque culture and taste exquisite cuisine - this small city has a seemingly limitless array of high-quality restaurants. The city hums with action around the clock, but there are also plenty of wide open green areas in which to relax. Check out our offers flight + hotel to Bilbao!

The bustling Casco Viejo is Bilbao's atmospheric Old Town, centred around the narrow Las Siete Calles (seven streets) and dotted with 14th century churches, 19th century squares and enticing eateries.
