  1. Palacio Chavarri

    10 min

    Begin your tour at this striking early 20th-century palace located on Plaza Moyúa. Designed in an eclectic neo-Renaissance style, the Palacio Chávarri is one of Bilbao’s most distinctive buildings, notable for its asymmetrical façade where no two windows are alike. Originally commissioned by an industrialist family, it reflects the wealth and transformation of Bilbao during its industrial expansion.

  2. Oprirea 2

    10 min

    Take in the elegance of Plaza Moyúa, a central hub surrounded by grand buildings and landscaped gardens. This circular square represents the modernization of Bilbao in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and serves as a key meeting point between the historic and contemporary parts of the city.

  3. Azkuna Zentroa

    10 min

    Continue to Azkuna Zentroa, a former wine warehouse transformed into a cultural and leisure center by renowned designer Philippe Starck. Its interior is particularly remarkable, featuring uniquely designed columns and innovative architectural concepts. Today, it stands as a symbol of Bilbao’s cultural regeneration.

  4. Parque de Dona Casilda Iturrizar

    10 min

    Stroll through this elegant urban park, often referred to as the “lungs of Bilbao.” Donated by philanthropist Doña Casilda Iturrizar, it offers a peaceful green space with fountains, sculptures, and landscaped gardens. Adjacent to the park is the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, one of Spain’s most important art institutions.

As you admire its exterior, you will understand how this museum played a pivotal role in redefining Bilbao as a cultural destination.

  6. Puente Zubizuri

    10 min

    Walk across the elegant Zubizuri Bridge, a modern pedestrian bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava. Its sleek white arch and glass walkway offer a contemporary contrast to the city’s historic architecture and provide excellent views of the Nervión River.

  7. Casco Viejo

    10 min

    Enter Bilbao’s historic old town, known as Casco Viejo, where narrow streets and traditional buildings reflect the city’s medieval origins. This area, often referred to as “Las Siete Calles” (the Seven Streets), forms the cultural and social heart of Bilbao and is rich in local character.

  8. Plaza Nueva

    10 min

    Pause at this elegant neoclassical square completed in the 19th century. Surrounded by arcaded buildings, Plaza Nueva is a lively gathering place known for its cafés, restaurants, and traditional markets. It remains an important venue for festivals, cultural events, and local life.

    Visit the Cathedral of Santiago, a Gothic structure dating back to the 14th century and dedicated to St. James, the patron saint of pilgrims. Built primarily in limestone, the cathedral features both original Gothic elements and later Gothic Revival additions, reflecting centuries of architectural evolution.
