Itinerary
Bilbao, a vibrant port city in northern Spain, is surrounded by green mountains and considered the true capital of the Basque Country. Combining tradition and modernity, its urban center is marked by skyscrapers and historic streets. The biggest icon of Bilbao is the Guggenheim Museum, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, whose innovative architecture, with its curved shapes and titanium cladding, has become a global symbol. Since its inauguration in 1997, the Guggenheim has driven the city's revitalization and houses important collections of modern and contemporary art.

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.
