2025 Biscay Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#solotrip Bilbao surprised me with its mix of modernity and tradition. I started at the Guggenheim Museum, admiring its futuristic architecture and stunning art exhibitions. Even if you don’t enter, the giant Puppy sculpture and the shimmering titanium curves of the building are worth the visit. From there, I wandered through the Casco Viejo, Bilbao’s old town, full of charming narrow streets, historic buildings, and lively pintxos bars. I couldn’t resist trying a few pintxos with a glass of txakoli, the local sparkling white wine. A must-see is the Ribera Market, perfect for tasting Basque flavors. Later, I took the funicular to Mount Artxanda for a panoramic view of the city. Bilbao is very solo traveler-friendly—safe, compact, and with excellent public transport. Eating alone is easy in pintxos bars, and locals are welcoming. Whether you love art, food, or scenic walks, Bilbao has it all!

The Guggenheim Museum in #bilbao is a must-visit for art lovers. Its iconic spiral design by Frank Lloyd Wright is as captivating as the world-class modern and contemporary art it houses. The unique layout enhances the viewing experience, making each visit unforgettable. If you ever visit Bilbao, make sure to pass by it and get lost in the world of #innovation and ##art. Highly recommended!

If you visit Bilbao, I definitely recommend going to the Guggenheim Museum! It gets very crowded on weekends and holidays, so I recommend going on a weekday. I went on a weekday, and there were not many people, so I was able to look around at my own pace. Both the inside and outside of the building are wonderful and very impressive. The flower sculpture "Puppy the Dog" in front of the museum is Bilbao's most international symbol, and I was surprised at how much larger it was than I expected! The museum is very large and has a wide variety of works, so I really enjoyed it.

#fallingseason Designed by Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum was completed in 1997. It's a mass of smooth curved lines and glittering tiles. The museum is crossed at one end by a bridge, which is crowned by a large skylight in the shape of a metal flower. The design is so complex that Gehry used advanced software originally conceived for the aerospace industry to work on the design.
