What to do and see in Bilbao, Basque Country: The Best Boat Tours & Water Sports

September 16, 2021 Marlin Saiz

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.
