The Guggenheim Effect: Art and Culture in Bilbao

Once a largely industrial port city, Bilbao has transformed into a serious culture destination. See the best in contemporary art and sculpture at the iconic Guggenheim Museum, and hang out at the Philippe Starck-designed Azkuna Zentroa, a funky cultural centre which has a cinema and indoor swimming pool with a transparent bottom.

Catch an Athletic Bilbao Home Game

Discover Bilbao’s passion for sports at the San Mamés Stadium. It’s home to Bilbao’s beloved football team, Athletic Bilbao, nicknamed Los Leones (The Lions). The stadium is a short stroll along the boardwalk from the Guggenheim museum, and it’s well worth trying to get tickets for an Athletic Bilbao home game. Watch out for fireworks if they’re playing Real Sociedad, their rivals from San Sebastián!

For a different view of the city, take the funicular railway which runs from near the Zubizuri bridge. It takes passengers up to the summit of Artxanda Mountain in just three minutes. Stretch out with a book in the park, or drop into a bar and enjoy the panoramic views over a glass of the local txacoli wine.
