| The trams are great get around in Bilboa but they stop running at 22.30. So we hired a car and painted town our own shade of red. We did find time to see the Guggenheim - quite a fantastic building; art work of sheer imagination. |
| Bilbao Overview |
| Shipbuilding in the 16th century created the original wealth of Bilbao, as well as its strategic location that formed a coastal trade link between Flanders and Castile. Judicious planning and careful investment raised it to the modern success it enjoys in the 21st century. “Botxo’, as it is known to its Basque residents, is a shining example of modern development. The most outstanding and internationally renowned Guggenheim museum has stimulated much of the financial stability of the city. |
| Bilbao Essentials |
The Guggenheim – Known worldwide and praised internationally, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao cost US$100 million to build, and is worth every cent spent on its gleaming curves.
Museo de Bellas Artes – Somewhat overshadowed by its flashy sister, the unassuming Museo de Bellas Artes has treasures of great value in its hoard of 12th to 20th century art..
Museo Vasco – Housed in the old city in a 17th century building, the Museo Vasco’s collections cover exhibitions of pastoral life, blacksmithing, weaving, and things maritime.
Monte Archanda – Take a funicular to the summit of the mountain for a perfect picnic and a panoramic view of Bilbao and surrounding countryside..
Nightlife – The younger crowd get their nighttime kicks in C. Licenciado Poza, to the west, and the older bunch mellow out at the Café Boulevard, Bilbao’s oldest coffee shop
