Things to see and do Bilbao

A plaque at number 16 of this street tells us the house where Unamuno, the illustrious universal thinker, poet, novelist and teacher, was born on September 29, 1864. A few metres is the place dedicated to it.

The tourist bus makes about fifteen stops throughout the city, including in front of the Guggenheim Museum, Casco Viejo, Azkuna Zentroa, Ribera Market, Gran Vía shopping area, etc. You can get on and off the bus as you wish, so it is a good alternative to conventional means of transport. Tickets can be purchased from the tourist office or directly on the bus.

Created in 1890, the Bilbao Stock Exchange was originally held in the Arriaga Theatre Hall. Since 1905, she has occupied this elegant building, whose facade is decorated with sculptures.

Managed by the regional government, this 400 m² room houses exhibitions related to the cultural heritage of Vizcaya. Its thematic or monographic exhibitions offer an interesting insight into Basque creation and history.

A point of union between Casco Viejo and Ensanche, this square, surrounded by modern buildings, opens onto Bilbao's Gran Vía. On its central column, a statue was held in the 1300 th century in honor of donating Diego López de Haro, founder of the city in.

The Palace of the Government of Vizcaya, built between 1890 and 1900, is one of the most remarkable examples of Basque eclecticism, which freely combines elements of classical architecture to better blur references. The interior of the building, richly decorated with marble, mirrors and works of art, also preserves beautiful frescoes in the Salón del Trono. After the construction of this palace, which marks the apogee of the eclectic style in the Basque country, it is the modernist current that will dominate the architecture of the city from 1900.
