Bilbao, the largest and most popular city in the Basque Country, has so much to offer! For 25 years now, the city on the banks of the Ría del Nervión has of course been best known for the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum, which breathed new life into Bilbao and transformed it from an industrial into a cultural city.The architectural masterpiece with its curved and titanium-clad façades houses famous modern and contemporary works of art. But the Basque metropolis is not only a worthwhile destination for art lovers; the regional cuisine also entices with fantastic dishes that are a must-try, from the most diverse pintxos to Idiazábal cheese.

The best opera programme in the Spanish north can be found in the architecturally purist Euskalduna Palace. A few performances a year are also held at the Teatro Arriaga in the centre of Bilbao - please enquire with us.
