Basque Free Tour: Modern Bilbao*Bilbao Big Week Edition August 18-24

Hello everyone,

We would like to inform you that this year's Aste Nagusia/Big Week of Bilbao will be celebrated from August 18th to 24th.

For this reason, during those dates,

IMPORTANT!

The meeting point will be in front of the town hall, next to the Oteiza sculpture and the town hall bridge (white umbrellas).

(We'll move it just a 5-minute walk from the original meeting point, to the next bridge, as the festival grounds and activities will make meeting times very difficult.)

On those days, all the free tours we offer will combine some of the themes from the historical and modern free tours, lasting 120–140 minutes. We will maintain the same schedules.

GIVEN THE FESTIVE DATES AND ACTIVITIES, WE WILL PRIMARILY TRAVEL THROUGH THE AREAS OF THE MODERN HISTORY TOUR.

(City Hall, Ensanche, Abandoibarra, La Ría, Paseo Uribitarte, Guggenheim, Moyua...)


We want you to keep in mind that the entire city will be especially transformed during the holiday week, and therefore we have to take exceptional measures for guided tours.

We're sure you'll love it and that you've chosen the best way to get to know Bilbao!

Greetings and see you soon in Bilbao!

From its charming medieval village, we will explore the origins of this ancient merchant town.

More than seven centuries of conflicts, personalities, and events unfold in an entertaining journey that follows the impressive story of the expansion of the classic, industrial city from the 19th century to the award-winning transformation of Bilbao, culminating at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

In the face of the vicissitudes of history, we will discover a city that has turned its face to its river with a renowned urban planning driven by architectural milestones.

A must-see to learn about the history of Bilbao and the traditions of Basque culture.

Professional local guides are waiting for you!
