City in Spain
2 things to see
Bilbao was transformed by the Guggenheim Museum, striking even from outside, where the riverside plaza and Jeff Koons’s flower Puppy are free to view without a ticket. The revitalized waterfront walk costs nothing, and the pintxos bar culture makes a filling meal cheap when you graze a few small plates rather than sit for a full dinner. The nearby Basque cities of San Sebastian and Pamplona complete a strong northern Spain circuit.
What to see
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
The Casco Viejo (Old Town) of Bilbao is a compact grid of pedestrian streets known as the Siete Calles (Seven Streets), with pintxos bars, the Santiago Cathedral, and the Mercado de la Ribera (Europe's largest covered market by surface area). Free to walk.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is Frank Gehry's titanium-clad masterpiece on the Nervion River, the building that transformed Bilbao from an industrial city into a cultural destination. The exterior and the surrounding waterfront are free to enjoy.
