Where to Stay in Bilbao

Until recently, Bilbao was a rather dull and drab port on Spain’s north coast. One of the Basque countries best known cities, it has well and truly shaken this image and become a must visit destination in Spain. Spend a few days in Bilbao not only to sample the delicious food, but to get to know this charming city. Don’t miss your chance to take in the art and culture that Bilbao has to offer.

But where should you stay on a trip to Bilbao? Well, that’s where this guide comes in. We’ve put it together so that you’re able to enjoy a good night’s sleep and make the most of your holiday here.
Travel in Bilbao: Overview

Bilbao is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in the north of Spain due to several reasons. In the late 90’s, the Guggenheim museum was built here, changing this Spanish port city’s image forever. Back then, the museum stood alone. However, now there are a number of other architectural and artistic wonders in the city. There’s also a sublime gastronomy scene.

It’s not just the city either – you have the whole of the Basque country on your doorstep. Think of the stunning coastline, where you’ll see beautiful beaches and jaw-dropping cliffs. Or what about the rolling green hills of Northern Spain? These offer hiking, biking, and outdoor activities aplenty.

Bilbao is a safe city for tourism, but like everywhere, you should be wary of any dangers. Tourists shouldn’t worry about violent crime, but as with any large city, there’s always a risk of pickpocketing. Make sure you have travel insurance before your visit.
