Top 8 Things to do in Bilbo Zaharra, Basque Country

March 9, 2022 Jana Sager

Travelers generally come to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim—some for the art inside, but many for the amazing building itself. The Fine Arts Museum and the Basque Museum may not have been designed by Frank Gehry, but are worth a visit, and you can catch international opera stars at the Palacio Euskalduna.

Casco Viejo

An old, pleasant neighborhood best known for its open-air food markets, where shoppers can buy some of the freshest and best-tasting fruit and vegetables in Europe.

What a treat it was to explore the old part of Bilbao. In particular, Las Siete Calles was a maze of fun.

Reviewed By gracielaa616 - Oakland, United States

Very central in the city. Nice buildings. From tehre you can take the Gran Via to go to the Old town or to the newer part of the city or to the Gugenheim. Has a Metro stop if you want to venture farther away.

Euskal Museoa Bilbao Basque Museum

Reviewed By arsey00

The Basque Museum offers more than just the standard local artefacts collection. History, topography, culture, architecture, and the relationship between those. Even the language and family names are covered. Plenty to see, very inexpensive. Allow at least two hours.
