Highlights
Bilbao's old town was founded on seven streets in the 14th century — some of the original seven are still there. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through the Casco Viejo on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Follow clues to Teatro Arriaga, Mercado de la Ribera, and the Siete Calles — three landmarks that take you from the grandest theatre entrance in Bilbao to the best-stocked riverbank market in the Basque Country • Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no pressure • Perfect for families, friend groups, and curious travellers; photo challenges in the medieval lanes are more competitive than they look Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. Seven streets made Bilbao — your phone will help you find them.

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.
