Private Bilbao City & Guggenheim Museum Tour

Discover the perfect blend of modern art, rich history, and vibrant Basque culture on our Private Bilbao City and Guggenheim Museum Tour! Bilbao, once a heavily industrialized city, has transformed into one of Northern Spain’s most dynamic cities, and this tour takes you through its exciting evolution.

The tour begins at the top of Mount Artxanda, where the panoramic views of the city provide the foundations to capture Bilbao’s transformation from an industrial powerhouse into the thriving metropolis it is today.

Next, we will visit the iconic Guggenheim Museum, a masterpiece of contemporary architecture designed by Frank Gehry. With the welcome of “Puppy”, a 40.6 feet tall West Highland White Terrier, learn about the impact the museum has had on Bilbao, known as the “Guggenheim Effect.” After a short self-guided visit inside the Museum, continue with a stroll following the path of the Nervion River, admiring the Isozaki Towers and crossing the river using the controversial Zubi Zuri Bridge, before arriving at Bilbao’s Old Town.

Immerse yourself in the charm of Bilbao’s Old Town while strolling through winding alleys, traditional shops, and picturesque squares, as your guide brings the city’s rich history to life. You will visit iconic landmarks, including the Plaza Nueva, the Cathedral of Santiago, and the bustling Ribera Market.

This exclusive tour from San Sebastian is ideal for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone looking to experience the best of Bilbao.
