Bilbao is the largest city in the Basque Country and the tenth largest in Spain, a bustling metropolis in a hilly part of the country’s north. It’s best known for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, which sparked the city’s regeneration and put it on the map as a tourist destination. Nowadays, Bilbao’s calendar is filled with festivals, exhibitions, concerts, gastronomic events, theatrical performances and more—the city really knows how to live. There’s plenty of old and new architecture to find, with the whole gamut of 20th-century styles on display.
