1. Barcelona or Bilbao? It is true that at the sight of this pretty building our landmarks can be a bit disturbed. Considered one of the finest examples of Art Nouveau in the city, but the only one for residential use, Casa Montero very easily attracts attention.

2. Minimalist yet so dear to Bilbao, the Museum of Fine Arts is one of the best leading cultural institutions in Spain. Founded in 1908, thanks to the sponsorship of local collectors, the property has occupied the grounds since 1945, after merging with the Museum of Modern Art.

3. Long considered the only true green space in Bilbao, Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park and its 11 hectares remain the city’s favorite outdoor destination. If this place was planned in the plan to expand Bilbao in 1876, its history did not really begin until 1907.

4. Inaugurated in 1999, this building is considered one of the greatest contemporary works carried out by Spanish architects. Its structure, essentially composed of corten steel, would recall the shape of a boat in full construction.

5. Bilbao and the Ria River, it’s a bit like a couple story. From its earliest origins, the capital of the Basque Country has always given a central role to the one that divides it in two today.

6. When we refer to Bilbao, we increasingly imagine a city at the crossroads of the old and the modern. On one side, we have the Old Town with its 16th century buildings, and on the other side the Ensanche district with its ever more avant-garde constructions.

7. A sort of icon of contemporary aesthetics, the Guggenheim Museum has largely found its place in Bilbao, until it becomes an international reference that is no longer presented.

8. It is tall, it is white and seems to float in the air. So, in a few words, the next Attraction of the visit makes its entrance. Opened to the public in 1997, the Zubizuri Bridge, to say the “White Bridge” in Basque, is a pedestrian walkway suspended 10 meters above the Ria River.

9. Highly involved in the development of its contemporary architecture, Bilbao has been presenting more and more innovative constructions for some years now, in sharp contrast to the building of historic districts.

10. If Bilbao brings together three railway stations in total, it is only this one to mark our minds as beautifully. Inaugurated in 1902, Concordia Station turned the grey and industrial image of the city around for many years.

11. In addition to being one of the most important symbols of Bilbao, Arriaga Theatre is also a particularly beautiful building. Its construction was carried out between 1886 and 1890 by the architect Joaquín de Rucoba, who was responsible for the Atarazanas de Malaga Point of Sale and its bullring.

12. Nueva Square is a reference point in the historic centre of the city and has been one of the highlights of Bilbao’s social life since 1851. When the locals are not wandering the adjacent streets, this is where they like to take refuge and find themselves.

About Bilbao

Bilbao is a Basque city on the Nervión River, a former industrial port reborn around a titanium-clad art museum and an old quarter of pintxo bars.

Bilbao grew rich on iron ore and shipbuilding, and its industrial riverside has been turned to culture. The Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Gehry and covered in titanium, curves beside the river, with a giant flower-covered dog and a spider sculpture outside. The Fine Arts Museum, in a park nearby, and the Zubizuri footbridge by Santiago Calatrava are other stops.

Top-ranked sights in Bilbao: Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Casco Viejo, Bilbao's Santiago Cathedral.
