The most popular time to visit Bilbao is during the summer months, particularly July, when the city comes alive with vibrant festivals and outdoor activities. With average temperatures around 24°C, this season invites travellers to soak in the sun while exploring Bilbao's stunning architecture, lively streets, and beautiful parks.

July marks the peak tourist season, running from June to September, characterised by a buzzing atmosphere as both locals and visitors partake in numerous events. The city's famous Guggenheim Museum, along with its charming old town, is a must-see, and the warm weather makes for excellent opportunities to enjoy leisurely strolls along the riverfront or indulge in some outdoor dining at local pintxos bars.

For those who appreciate a bustling environment, this is an excellent time to experience the authentic Basque culture through its festivals, such as the Aste Nagusia in August, where you can revel in music, dance, and local gastronomy. However, if you're looking for a more tranquil experience, consider visiting Bilbao in October. This month offers milder temperatures around 18°C and fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed exploration of the city's rich cultural offerings, including its impressive art galleries and museums.
