Places in Spain - Bilbao

 

Spain's 6th largest city and biggest port, in the heart of the Basque Country and a good place to see the regions attractions. Bilbao has its own airport, located 8km away from the city and serviced by flights from all over Europe.

 

Visitors must see the new Guggenheim Museum with its bizarre shape that upset many locals when it was built. Admission is around 800pts it is devoted to American and European art. There are also other museums to visit including the Museo de Bellas Artes, containing both modern and medieval works.

 

   

The commercial heart of Bilbao is full of bankers, attracted by the shipbuilding and shipping interests of the port. Industry is rife in Bilbao but underneath there is a culture worthy of an exploration.

 

The old quarter of Bilbao on the east side of the river is connected to the new side by several bridges. Climb the famous 64 steps to the top of the town to the church built in the 1500's. See the Cathedral built in the 14th century. The only way to see the old town is by foot.

 

By night, Bilbao offers several discos, many bars and a theatre.
