Bilbao

Rich historical architecture and cultural heritage fill the busy streets of one of northern Spain's largest cities, Bilbao. Known as the capital of Basque Country, the industrial port city is also home to some of the country's famed modern architectural sites. See the futuristic-styled titanium design of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, architect Frank Gehry's iconic modern and contemporary art museum. Stand 165m below the Torre Iberdrola, the city's tallest skyscraper. Discover the medieval stories of the city at Casco Viejo. After checking out all the exciting things to do in Bilbao, treat yourself to a plate of pintxos, Basque's version of the beloved Spanish tapas, to cap off the day!
