Bilbao Attractions

GREAT AIRPORT, GOOD FUN

Advantages: GREAT, EASY, FUN!!
Disadvantages: NONE

In my opinion go to bilbao airport in the capital of the Basque country. ETA, the basque seperatist group, don't seem to cause many problems there, and it is a nice short flight from england to get there. I really would recommend that you go there. When you arrive at Bilbao airport(sondica) you will find that it is nice, clean healthy and very new. When I went there a month ago, it took me five minutes to leave the place. All nice and relaxed. ...

Great building

Advantages: beautiful
Disadvantages: empty inside

The Guggenheim Museum is an absolutely fantastic building. If you like architecture, it will fascinate you. I could spend hours just looking at it as, depending on the light, it looks so different. It really is beautiful. It's had such a huge impact on the way Bilbao is perceived and perceives itself, it really has given them their confidence back. The city has cleaned up its act, and has opened up to the world. The only problem with this museum ...
...It's very hit and miss, sometimes fascinating, sometimes a waste of time: from Armani fashion through the years to the history of motorbikes. So do find out what exhibitions they have on before you part with your money. It can also be very busy, depending on day and time of year. Update: it's a museum of modern art, it costs about 10Euros to get in. It opens every day except Mondays, from 1000 till 2000. It's not very big, only a couple of floors; ...

Review of Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Bilbao

Casco Viejo - the best place in Bilbao

Advantages: lots of things to see, great atmosphere
Disadvantages: none

...museum can be found) and casco viejo. The latter is full off things to see. The best way to see Casco Viejo is definitely via the cable car which takes you high up above bilbao, giving you a magnificant view of the city. In casco viejo itself, there's a giant 'staircase' which takes you into the heart of the town. The town is marvellous for shopping with endless streets full of traditional small shops. You can often get yourself some bargains in ...
...is definitely during the august fiestas. Two weeks of events everyday such as music concerts and parties in the streets. When the fiestas open, everyone amasses in casco viejo.. Great atmosphere and definitely recommended. Go to bilbao, you certainly won't be short of things to see and do!! ...

Review of Casco Viejo, Bilbao

Very easy to use

Advantages: Great, spacious, large.
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little old, but still going strong.

Bilbao Airport has recently opened a new terminal, which is absolutely breathtaking from the outside. It offers new gates with AirBridges, the runway has been extended to accomodate bigger aircraft and the airport has generally been improved. On the inside, however, the airport is also fantastic. It's very spacious and well laid-out, it's easy to use and find your way around and the ground staff - both airport information and the airline staff are ...
...very big and spacios. Bilbao handles thousands of passengers a day, and has a smaller airport than Heathrow, so how come Heathrow always looks so cluttered. I think one reason is the the airport is just like a big room - the gates, well there's a wall through the middle for security, but apart from that it's one big room. I would like to say that Bilbao Airport - BIO - also has a fantastic atmosphere about it - whenever you arrive there, and you ...
