BOOK TRIP
Bilbao, the cultural heart of Spain's Basque Country, is a city where tradition meets innovation. Once an industrial hub, it has transformed into a modern masterpiece, famously home to the striking Guggenheim Museum, a symbol of its artistic revival. Bilbao's charm lies in its mix of avant-garde architecture, historic old town (Casco Viejo), and vibrant food culture, where pintxos bars line the streets, offering Basque culinary delights. Surrounded by lush green hills and the Nervión River, this dynamic city is a testament to reinvention, seamlessly blending its rich heritage with cutting-edge design.
Young travelers are often pleasantly surprised by Bilbao—home to the Guggenheim Museum and a revitalized art scene. They find local pintxos more than fulfilling, and day trips to the Basque coast are easy. Voyista has personally strolled the riverside and tried the region’s innovative cuisine. We set up your lodging near the museum or in the buzzing Casco Viejo, plus handle comfortable cross-country travel if you’re linking Madrid, San Sebastián, or France.
