Once an industrial port city, Bilbao has blossomed into a vibrant cultural capital that blends history with bold innovation. In a single day, you can experience centuries of heritage, world-class contemporary art, and the rich flavors of Basque cuisine. Here’s a glimpse into what a tailor-made Basque Bound day tour in Bilbao might look like:

  • Morning: Begin with a stroll through the atmospheric Old Town (Casco Viejo), where narrow streets open into lively squares full of local character.
  • Midday: Visit the Guggenheim Museum with a private guide—learn the stories behind its titanium waves and the art it holds inside.
  • Lunch: Savor a gourmet meal—whether a Michelin-starred tasting menu or a pintxos crawl led by a local expert.
  • Afternoon: Discover the architectural contrasts of the city, from traditional buildings to striking modern structures like the Zubizuri bridge or the metro stations designed by Norman Foster.
  • Evening (Optional): Take in a panoramic view of the city from Mount Artxanda via funicular, with a glass of Txakoli in hand.

This is Bilbao through the eyes of a local expert. Every detail, every moment, curated for you. That’s the Basque Bound way.
