Book a Flight to Bilbao from €71

Nestled among lush green hills and straddling the banks of the Nervion River, the famous capital of Viscaya province is more than just the "City of Guggenheim", the iconic museum that placed it high on the world’s map of culture.

The sui generis Bilbaino's determination to overcome the post-industrial identity crisis of the ‘80s gave birth to the famous "Bilbao Effect", the transformation of a decadent industrial city into a modern and cosmopolitan destination on the forefront of culture and international gastronomy.

The district of Abandoibarra, on the left bank of the river, is an unparalleled show of international avant-garde architecture while the historic city center is one of the finest outdoor sculpture parks, with more than 150 works representing different styles and eras. At the same time, the ambitious project to revitalize the murky waters of the Nervion River has created a waterway full of canoes, paddle boards and tourist boats. The picturesque neighborhoods of the medieval Old Town (Casco Viejo) combine wild nights with a medieval atmosphere.

For nature lovers, the Basque Country's liveliest city is a gateway to the magnificent Costa Basca, with its wild jagged coastline and fantastic surfing beaches, while its hinterland is graced by dazzling national parks.

Fly with Aegean to Bilbao and discover a dynamic metropolis with a great maritime tradition, a fiery temperament and passion for the contemporary.
