Photo Tour in Bilbao & Basque Country

Discover Bilbao through your lens on a 4-hour guided photo walk designed to blend photography, culture, and local life. Bilbao is a city of striking contrasts: the futuristic architecture of the Guggenheim Museum stands beside centuries-old alleyways in Casco Viejo, while panoramic views from Artxanda Hill showcase the Nervión River winding through green hills and industrial heritage. This tour will take you through the most photogenic corners of the city, offering both iconic landmarks and authentic everyday scenes.

We begin at Artxanda Hill, where a wide, sweeping view introduces Bilbao's unique layout. From here, you'll learn how to compose dramatic cityscapes, balance light with shadow, and create strong images that tell a story from above.

From there, we descend to the riverside and the Guggenheim Museum, one of the world's most photographed buildings. Its titanium curves, outdoor sculptures, and water reflections are a playground for experimenting with perspective, angles, and creative framing. Together, we'll work on capturing the interaction between architecture and environment.

Next, we dive into the lively heart of the city: Casco Viejo (the Old Town). This historic quarter is full of narrow streets, colorful balconies, bustling markets, and vibrant local life. Here, you'll practice street photography techniques—anticipating moments, framing scenes, and telling stories through candid portraits and details.

We finish the walk in Bilbao's plazas and everyday spaces, where locals gather in cafés, along the riverfront, and around lively bars serving pintxos. This part of the tour focuses on capturing authentic daily life—spontaneous portraits, cultural details, and the dynamic mix of tradition and modernity that defines Bilbao today.

Throughout the walk, I'll provide hands-on photography guidance, whether it's refining your composition, making the most of available light, or crafting a visual narrative. The tour is designed for all levels, from beginners eager to learn the basics to experienced photographers seeking fresh perspectives and local insights.

This experience is not just about photography—it's about connecting with Bilbao's character and leaving with both stunning images and unforgettable memories.
