Bilbao

Bilbao Guggenheim Museum
Bilbao The Puppy

Bilbao, an industrial port city in northern Spain, is surrounded by green mountains. Cruise passengers dock in Getxo and it is a short bus journey into the centre of Bilbao. The Port of Bilbao, with origins tracing back to the 14th century, is a beacon of maritime excellence and a vital economic engine in Spain. Situated on the Bay of Biscay, it handles over 35 million tonnes of cargo annually, positioning itself as a leader in Atlantic shipping.

 

Beyond its industrial might, Bilbao enchants visitors with its cultural and architectural marvels. The iconic Guggenheim Museum, the historic Casco Viejo (Old Town), and the scenic Nervión Riverwalk are just a few highlights. Seamlessly blending rich history with modernity, the Port of Bilbao not only facilitates robust trade but also invites tourists to explore its vibrant surroundings, making it a multifaceted jewel in the Basque Country.
