Things to do and places to see in Bilbao

"The city of the Guggenheim" is an alternative name for this Basque Country destination as, since this original museum was built in 1997, Bilbao has been transformed forever. In fact, now it stands out for its ground-breaking structures created by prestigious architects, and which make it an international reference for modern design.

• Guggenheim Museum: Since its opening in 1997, the Guggenheim Bilbao and Puppy - a floral sculpture of a dog by Jeff Koons, located outside the museum - have become the most internationally-known symbols of Bilbao. The Guggenheim offers a series of activities for visitors who wish to broaden their knowledge of art.
• Plaza Nueva & the Casco Viejo : Now transformed into an urban landmark in the historic centre of Bilbao, the Casco Viejo neighbourhood, the Plaza Nueva square is one of the main hubs of the city's social life. The colonnade in this neoclassical monumental site is home to alternating shops, bars, restaurants and cafés.
• Museo de Bellas Artes : This centre includes the former Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts from 1908, and the Museum of Modern Art, which opened in 1924. The collection combines classical and modern art (Bacon, Menz, Tàpies) and creations by Basque artists (Regoyos, Zuloaga and Echevarría), as well as a small exhibition of applied arts.
