Places you must see if you are visiting Bilbao

New Square
This neoclassical square was built in the 19th century and is located in the center of the old town. In the surroundings you will find many bars where you can taste delicious skewers.
The Ribera Market
In the same old town near the San Antón bridge, there is The Ribera Market, which was inaugurated in 1929. In this, on Sundays, jazz and swing sessions are usually held live.
San Mamés
An unmissable place for football and music lovers. Will you wonder why? and it is because here many music concerts are held during the year, since it is a football field of enormous capacity.
In the San Mamés areayou will find very good accommodations, such as the ILUNION Bilbao hotel, a recently refurbished 3-star hotel. It’s good location and event rooms make it an ideal hotel for both leisure and business trips.
Zubizuri Bridge
One of Calatrava's works with a structure that resembles a ship, which crosses the Nervión estuary and pedestrians connects Castaños with the Ensanche of the capital of Vizcaya. A mythical picture of Bilbao!
Artxanda viewpoint
This place offers a perfect visit, so you can't miss it. If you take the funicular, which was built in the early twentieth century, from the heights you can see a great panoramic view of the city.
With all these plans, you will no longer have excuses to visit Bilbao. Do not forget our recommendation and book a room at the ILUNION Bilbao hotel, so you will be very close to everything and you can enjoy, tour and delight with all that the city of Bilbao has to offer.
And one more thing…. Don’t forget to try the Txakoli. There is a street called Pozas, where you will find delicious places to snack and drink enjoying a pintxo-pote without costing you an arm and a leg.
