Overview

Hello everyone,

We want to inform you that this year the Aste Nagusia / Semana Grande de Bilbao will be from August 19 to 27. Therefore, during those dates,

IMPORTANT!
THE MEETING POINT WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE TOWN HALL, NEXT TO THE OTEIZA SCULPTURE AND TOWN HALL BRIDGE (WHITE UMBRELLA)

GIVEN THE DATES AND FESTIVE ACTIVITIES, WE WILL TOUR MAINLY THROUGH THE AREAS OF THE MODERN HISTORY TOUR.

(Town Hall, Ensanche, Ría, Uribitarte, Guggenheim Museum...)

From its charming medieval town, we will explore the origins of this ancient mercantile town.

More than seven centuries of conflicts, characters and events brought together in an entertaining journey that will follow the impressive history of the expansion of the classical and industrial city of the 19th century until the award-winning transformation of Bilbao, ending at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

Faced with the vicissitudes of history, we will discover a city that has turned its face to its river with a recognized urbanism pushed by architectural milestones.

An essential visit to learn about the history of Bilbao and the traditions of Basque culture.

Professional local guides are waiting for you!
