Private Bilbao Walking Tour
Discover the best of Bilbao on a private walking tour through its historic heart. Join your guide and uncover the secrets of this emblematic city, learning about its architecture, history, and people as you explore. Starting at the border between the Old Town and Downtown, you’ll stroll through the winding streets of the Casco Viejo, passing through the famous Seven Streets, the churches of San Antón and Santiago, and the lively Ribera Market. You’ll also discover how Bilbao expanded during the 19th century with the rise of industrialisation and banking, and how it later transformed with the creation of modern riverside promenades.
If you choose the extended version, the tour continues to landmarks such as the Zubizuri Bridge, the exterior of the Guggenheim Museum, Puppy, the Iberdrola Tower, and other icons of contemporary Bilbao. This experience is ideal to explore the city’s past, present, and future at your own pace.
