Tour description

In 2018 Bilbao was declared “Best European City” – do you want to know why?


We will meet in front of the modernist façade of the Estación de la Concordia , to begin this free tour of the essentials of Bilbao. Are you ready to discover the most emblematic corners of the Biscayan capital? Let's go!

We will cross Abando Station , with a mandatory stop at its spectacular and colorful window, to head towards the commercial and financial center of the city: El Ensanche. This area is also known as the “Golden Mile”, as it is where the most exclusive shops, luxury homes, financial headquarters and business offices are located.

Don Diego López de Haro, founder of the town, will appear on our tour to explain how its industrial past, linked to iron, blossomed into a unique model of an avant-garde city, without losing sight of the Basque charisma.

As we stroll along the Gran Via that bears his name, we will discover wonderful buildings such as the Provincial Council , the Campos Elíseos Theatre or the Alhóndiga (Azkuna Centre), the epicentre of Bilbao's cultural life. Almost without realising it, we find ourselves in the heart of the Ensanche, the Plaza Moyúa , where we will appreciate the exterior architecture of the Chávarri Palace and the Carlton Hotel .

But this is not the end of it, there are still a few more essentials for you to discover. A good example is the Museum of Fine Arts , which, located next to a large garden, houses one of the most important and complete art collections in the country.

We will follow the art trail that traces its itinerary until we find the famous Guggenheim Museum , one of the most famous works of the famous Canadian architect Frank Gehry. Here you will meet Puppy , the guard dog that tirelessly guards the doors of the museum.

After two and a half hours - which fly by - we will approach the Puente de la Salve to enjoy a fascinating panoramic view of this contemporary city.
