Since 1997, Bilbao has been home to the Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Gehry and located along the river. Since then, the city has attracted thousands of visitors from around the world, eager to admire the building and its collections of modern and contemporary art.

The Guggenheim, however, is just one of Bilbao's many attractions. For example, in the city's charming historic centre, you'll find lively bars and authentic Spanish restaurants, as well as a vibrant cultural scene.

With a rental car in Bilbao, you can also visit the surrounding towns and discover every corner of the Basque Country, home to evocative natural landscapes and world-renowned gastronomic traditions.

Over the past twenty years, Bilbao has become a hub for lovers of art, architecture, and design, thanks to its museums, galleries, and diverse urban spaces waiting to be explored.

Travel to Bilbao: Must-See Attractions

Bilbao is a city known for its blend of contemporary and traditional architecture. The Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Gehry, is its most iconic attraction: the building alone is worth a visit. It houses large exhibition spaces dedicated to modern and contemporary art. Next door is the Museum of Fine Arts, which is also definitely worth a visit.

Bilbao's historic centre is a must-see. The Casco Viejo extends along the riverbank, between the San Antón Bridge and the Church of San Nicolás, and is connected to the more modern part of the city by several bridges. Among these are the La Salve Bridge, with its panoramic views, and the Zubizuri, a pedestrian walkway that leads to one of the city's liveliest areas. Just outside, you'll find the Vizcaya Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built in the late 19th century.

If you decide to visit Bilbao by car, you can easily reach neighborhoods like Begoña, located on a hill above the historic centre, where the basilica of the same name stands, or take a trip slightly further afield to explore the Basque Country's natural beauty.

Driving in Bilbao: What are the rules?

Driving in Bilbao is the most convenient way to explore the city and the Basque Country. The traffic system is well organised, although there are many one-way streets in the historic centre.

In the Casco Viejo, there are several limited traffic and pedestrian zones, so it's best to leave your car in the parking lots just outside the city centre and continue on foot. The parking system is regulated by the OTA service, which allows you to pay parking fees in various ways and, in some cases, get a partial refund if you free up a spot early.

If you're looking for a cheaper option, you'll find free parking in the more peripheral areas, from which you can easily reach the city centre with your rental car in Bilbao.
