Flying to Bilbao: tips and information for your trip
Discover the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Basque Country with a flight to Bilbao. Set at the mouth of the Nervión and Ibaizabal rivers, the city is the region’s cultural and economic hub. Bilbao has reinvented itself over the last few decades, blending striking modern architecture with a historic old town. From the world-famous Guggenheim Museum to lively markets and riverside promenades, there’s plenty to explore.
Founded in 1300 by Diego López V de Haro, Bilbao has grown into a youthful university city with a strong flair for art and culture. Beyond the Guggenheim, highlights include the Museo de Bellas Artes, one of Spain’s finest art museums, and the Basque Museum in Casco Viejo, the city’s medieval quarter. A stroll through the old town reveals narrow lanes, bustling plazas and vibrant street life, making Bilbao an unforgettable destination.
