An exciting city perched inland on Spain’s Bay of Biscay, Bilbao is a cultural gem just waiting to be discovered. It’s the perfect base for exploring the Basque Country, with its thriving arts and culinary scene playing out against a backdrop of striking architecture.
Fly from London to Bilbao with British Airways to discover the Basque region’s unique spirit. Begin with a visit to the Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, an iconic landmark made from shimmering titanium that sits on the banks of the Nervion River. The arrival of the Guggenheim sparked the city’s rapid regeneration, which you can see along its smart riverside promenades. Take in the sights along the water, stopping by the Ensanche district with its contemporary galleries, or venture down to Bilbao La Vieja for its street art, before heading over to the bohemian old quarter of Casco Viejo. This is the perfect spot to end the day, grazing on chorizo, manchego or gambas pintxos in the shadows of the Medieval Santiago Cathedral, and people-watching at the district’s lively bars. Book your holiday to Bilbao today.
Flights from London to Bilbao Airport take around two hours.
Summer is a popular time to visit, so it’s often cheaper to fly to Bilbao over the winter months between October and March. To find the cheapest flights to Bilbao, use our low fare finder.
Bilbao isn’t known for being especially expensive for visitors, with a wide variety of hotels, restaurants and attractions that cater to every budget. The Basque style of tapas, known as pintxos, is a great option for sampling all the local flavours without breaking the bank.
Many of Bilbao’s attractions are free to visit on certain days, such as the impressive Itsasmuseum where you can discover more about the city’s maritime heritage. Housed in a former shipyard, there’s no fee to visit on Tuesdays outside of July and August.
Bilbao’s airport is just 9km outside of the city, so it’s a straightforward journey by taxi. You can also take the inexpensive bus service, which runs at regular intervals and takes 20 minutes to reach the city centre.
Bilbao is compact and walkable, so you can easily get by without a car if you’re staying somewhere central. The city has a Metro service that’s easy to use and makes for an efficient way to get around and explore the nearby beaches.
You can hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what the Basque Country has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.
The Basque Country is known for its excellent food and wine, so once you’ve explored the many pintxos bars of the city, head out to the countryside to discover the Bizkaiko Txakolina wine region. Book a tour at the Bodega Berroja Winery, set in the rolling hills with soaring views across the forest.
You can also combine a city break to Bilbao with some beach hopping. Visit Ereaga Beach, which you can reach on the city’s Metro system, or go further afield to La Arena, a beach that’s popular with surfers and blessed with golden sand and nearby bars and restaurants for enjoying a sunset beer.
