Bilbao is a vibrant city in northern Spain, known for its blend of modern architecture, rich Basque culture and industrial heritage. It is the largest city in the Basque Country and a major cultural hub.
Bilbao's most famous landmark is the Guggenheim Museum, designed by architect Frank Gehry, which has helped transform the city into a destination for art and architecture lovers. The city also features charming old town areas like Casco Viejo, with narrow streets, historical buildings and traditional pintxo bars serving Basque cuisine.
Surrounded by green mountains and with the Nervión River running through it, Bilbao offers a mix of urban sophistication and natural beauty, making it a popular destination for both cultural exploration and relaxation.
