About Bilbao
A former industrial port that turned itself into an architectural showcase, Bilbao is now one of Spain’s most visited cities. Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim on the Nervión is the reason most people come, but they stay for the old town with its pintxos bars, the Ribera market, the Fine Arts Museum and the modern riverside walk from the Zubizuri bridge to the Euskalduna palace. The airport at Loiu, twelve kilometres north, is a hub for flights across Spain and Europe.
From Biarritz station the car joins the A63 within minutes and stays on the AP-8 motorway all the way to Bilbao, about 115 minutes with the tolls covered by the fare. The transfer can end at any hotel in the city, at the Termibus coach station or in Getxo on the coast; flights from Bilbao Airport are covered on its own page.
