What to do and see in Bilbao, Basque Country: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

December 26, 2021 Flossie Demartino

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.

Plaza Nueva

Reviewed By mjwe

Really lovely vibrant square in the old town of Bilbao, great choice of bars and restaurants with a good variety of pinxtos, really reasonably priced, would recommend the local wine, which is lovely and so cheap. A nice mix of locals, families and tourists all relaxing and enjoying the food and drink. They had a little market on Sunday, selling books, records and other bits. Great place to go day and night, to eat, drink and people watch.

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.
