Iconic Guggenheim Museum
Frank Gehry’s extraordinary titanium-clad Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the most celebrated and influential buildings of the late twentieth century, a masterpiece of deconstructivist architecture that transformed an entire city’s trajectory. Richard Serra’s permanent monumental sculpture installation, world-class temporary exhibitions, and the building’s own extraordinary exterior make this an unmissable cultural experience of the highest order.
Extraordinary Pintxos Culture
Bilbao’s Casco Viejo pintxos bar culture is one of the world’s great culinary traditions: elaborately crafted small dishes displayed on bar counters ranging from perfect simplicity to Michelin-quality creativity, accompanied by local Txakoli wine in a convivial, multi-bar evening experience of genuine pleasure that is utterly unique to the Basque Country.
Remarkable Urban Transformation
Bilbao’s reinvention from industrial port to cultural capital is a celebrated story of architecture-led urban regeneration, with Norman Foster’s Metro, Calatrava’s Zubizuri bridge, and Starck’s Azkuna Zentroa all contributing to a city-wide architecture museum of extraordinary quality that rewards exploration at every turn.
San Sebastián Day Trip
Just an hour by train, San Sebastián is arguably the world’s greatest gastronomic city, with the legendary Parte Vieja’s pintxos bars, the magnificent La Concha beach, and the highest concentration of Michelin stars per capita of any city on earth combining to create an unmissable day-trip companion to any Bilbao city break.
Arrive at Bilbao Airport and transfer to the Hotel ILUNION Bilbao. Step outside immediately for your first encounter with the extraordinary Guggenheim opposite. A first gentle pintxos warm-up in the Ensanche neighbourhood completes the arrival evening perfectly.
Spend the morning inside the Guggenheim with Serra’s monumental sculptures and outstanding temporary exhibitions. Afternoon in the Siete Calles of the Casco Viejo for a serious pintxos bar-hopping session with Txakoli wine.
Board the train east to the extraordinary city of San Sebastián, exploring the Parte Vieja old quarter’s legendary pintxos bars, relaxing on the magnificent La Concha beach, and admiring the elegant nineteenth-century architecture.
Walk Bilbao’s regenerated Abandoibarra waterfront, visit the extraordinary Azkuna Zentroa cultural centre designed by Philippe Starck, then take the Metro to the elegant coastal suburb of Getxo.
Explore the excellent Basque Museum in the Casco Viejo then visit the extraordinary Mercado de la Ribera, Europe’s largest covered market, for its astonishing variety of fresh Basque produce.
Join a local chef for a morning pintxos and traditional Basque cooking class learning the secrets of bacalao al pil-pil and classic Basque cuisine. An afternoon at leisure for final shopping.
After a final breakfast at Hotel ILUNION Bilbao, take a last Nervión riverside walk before your private transfer to Bilbao Airport.
