Located in the heart of the Basque Country, Bilbao is a city that perfectly mixes history and modern design. Its most famous landmark is the Guggenheim Museum, a masterpiece of contemporary architecture designed by Frank Gehry. This world-class museum has turned Bilbao into a cultural hotspot, featuring incredible modern art exhibitions.

The Ría de Bilbao, once the city’s industrial heart, is now a lively area with modern buildings, beautiful bridges, and outdoor cafés. Not far from the city, the Vizcaya Bridge, the world’s first transporter bridge and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers amazing views and a look into Bilbao’s industrial past.

For luxury lovers, Bilbao is home to the largest Rolls-Royce collection in Europe, where visitors can admire some of the most elegant and historic cars ever made.

Food is at the heart of Bilbao, and no visit is complete without trying the famous pintxos. These small, delicious bites are served in the lively bars of the Casco Viejo (Old Town). From classic flavors like Iberian ham and cod to creative modern versions, pintxos are best enjoyed with a glass of txakoli, the region’s refreshing white wine.

Just outside the city, nature lovers can explore San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a dramatic island with a small chapel and stunning views of the Cantabrian Sea. A short drive away, the Añana Salt Flats reveal centuries of salt production in a spectacular natural setting.

For those looking for even more coastal beauty, the elegant city of San Sebastián is just a short trip away, offering golden beaches, world-famous restaurants, and a vibrant cultural scene.
