City guide
Visiting Bilbao in December
December features tasteful festive illuminations along Gran Vía and traditional Santo Tomás fairs on December 21 celebrating artisan cider and txistorra.
Bilbao is the proud, innovative cultural capital of Bizkaia in Spain's Basque Country, dramatically situated along the Nervión River in a lush green mountain valley. Once a gritty center of heavy industry and shipbuilding, the city engineered one of the most celebrated urban turnarounds in modern history, ignited by the 1997 opening of Frank Gehry's titanium Guggenheim Museum.
- From the airport
- Bilbao Airport (BIO) in Loiu is located twelve kilometers north of the city center. Bizkaibus route A3247 runs every 15 to 20 minutes directly from arrivals, connecting via Plaza Moyúa to the central Bilbao Intermodal bus station in 15 to 20 minutes. Licensed taxis cost around 25 to 30 euros.
- Getting around
- Bilbao is exceptionally walkable; pedestrian riverfront pathways link the Guggenheim Museum directly to the historic Casco Viejo. The futuristic Metro Bilbao network, masterminded by Sir Norman Foster with its iconic curved glass street canopies ('fosteritos'), connects town to coastal beaches in 25 minutes. A modern green tramway glides along the riverfront.
