Get to know Bilbao with Viator

In the past few decades, Bilbao has transformed from an industrial port into a thriving cultural center, and the city has never felt more vital. The de facto capital of the Basque Country boasts buildings by world-famous architects (including Frank Gehry’s iconic Guggenheim Museum) and grand cathedrals, Michelin-starred fine dining temples and buzzy pintxo bars, urban landscapes and streets made for strolling and socializing. Plus, it's an easy gateway to the Basque Country’s coastline and the green, rolling hills of the countryside.
