From its origins as a fishing settlement to shipping port and then an industrial centre, Bilbao is now one of Spain's largest cities. Best known to be the home of Frank Gehry-designed Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, the city underwent a large cultural and aesthetic makeover which included a subway system designed by Sir Norman Foster, a new riverwalk, and the renovated Casco Viejo (old town).

Travel Tips from people who've been to Bilbao
0141Capital of the universe (as Bilbao people like to say), here you can eat the best food of the world and visit the green mountains or the beautiful beaches. Of course, Guggenheim Museum is a must, and so is going out in Casco Viejo or Pozas to taste the great Bilbao's "pintxos"!
On weekend you have many different enviroments for night lovers. And if you can, visit the city during Aste Nagusia week, where you will find the best party (San Fermin has nothing to do, and this is cheaper!) with many things to do during day and night.
The city is safe for anyone and the people is very kind.
You also have lots of culture like music festivals, museums and theatres.
You just have to visit Bilbao... you'll love it and sure come back!!

0242Tremendous quality of Tapas or Pintxos in Bilbao! Just walk around the historic centre and wherever you see lots and lots of people is a good bet. There are several design bars which have excellent Pintxos and there are competitions held to find the best.
Use the following formula:
1. Find a good place, have a few pintxos and some Txacoli wine
2. Repeat 1
