Why visit Bilbao?

Because Bilbao offers you something that no other city can, the Guggenheim Museum. Created and managed by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1997, its design was carried out by the office of Frank Gehry. Currently there are only two other museums like this one, one established in New York (1959) and the other in Venice (1979). The Museum of Fine Arts and the Basque Archaeological, Ethnographic and Historical Museum are not to be missed either.

Bilbao also offers an extraordinary sightseeing tour. So much so that in 2010 this city was awarded the Lee Kuan Yew prize, the Nobel Prize for urban planning. Do not miss the opportunity to take pictures next to the Arriaga Theater, the Euskalduna Palace, the Chávarri Palace, the Azkuna Zentroa or the University of Deusto. In addition, stroll along its estuary, cross its bridges and relax in its quiet parks.
Bilbao is also a gastronomic city. Go for pintxos or taste a good pil pil cod, cod in Biscayan style or hake in green sauce. Forget about water for a few days. Accompany these delicacies with a txacolin wine.

Stroll through its port, eat in its restaurants and enter the Fisherman's Museum. Very close to here, on the road to Baquio, is San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. The 241 steps up to the hermitage are well worth the climb.

Driving around Bilbao with our rental van

No two cities are the same and that is why it is essential to get some information about the most frequent situations that we are going to find as far as traffic is concerned. In this way, driving with our van will be a much more pleasant experience.

From Autofurgo the best advice we can give our customers when they go behind the wheel in Bilbao is to keep in mind that moving around the center is slightly more complex than doing it for the rest of the city. Something that happens frequently in many of the cities of our country.

Knowledge is the basis for not driving lost and not knowing where to go. The main streets to take into account to move around Bilbao are first the Gran Via, followed in order of importance the Alameda de Recalde and Alameda de Urquijo and finally are the Avenida de Sabino Arana, Avenida de Autonomía. The Plaza Moyua is in the center of the city center so it can be an excellent point of reference for orientation.
