Things to do in Bilbao, Basque Country: The Best Monuments & Statues
December 3, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa
Travelers generally come to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim—some for the art inside, but many for the amazing building itself. The Fine Arts Museum and the Basque Museum may not have been designed by Frank Gehry, but are worth a visit, and you can catch international opera stars at the Palacio Euskalduna.

Spectacular and loved by all ages. Possibly the most photographed tourist attraction in Bilbao. Beautiful colours and glorious when the sun shines. Jeff Koons is a genius. Not to be missed .Enjoy.
