Alles über Bilbao

Beste Reisezeit

The best time to visit Bilbao is from late spring to early autumn (May–September). During these months, the weather is milder and more stable, making walks along the riverfront or through Casco Viejo especially pleasant. If you don’t mind a little rain, April and October can also be good: fewer tourists, green landscapes, and lower accommodation prices. The city’s cultural calendar adds charm too—many local festivals, concerts, and food events take place in summer.

Fortbewegung vor Ort

Getting around Bilbao is efficient and tourist-friendly. The metro is fast and clean, connecting major neighborhoods. The tram (run by Euskotren) runs a single line through key tourist spots—like the Guggenheim, the Old Town, and the bus station. City buses (Bilbobus) fill in the gaps, while regional buses (Bizkaibus) take you to nearby towns. For panoramic views, take the Funicular de Artxanda up to Mount Artxanda—a short ride with big rewards. If you prefer greener transport, Bilbao is expanding its bike lane network (reportedly 77 km planned), making it more bike-friendly than ever.

Tipps für Reisende

When visiting Bilbao, it’s wise to book museum tickets in advance, especially for the popular Guggenheim Museum. The city is best explored on foot, so comfortable walking shoes are essential for enjoying its pedestrian streets and river paths. Don’t miss the chance to experience a traditional pintxos crawl, known as txikiteo, by hopping between bars in Casco Viejo and the Ensanche district. For easier and cheaper public transport, carry a Barik card to use on the tram or metro. As Bilbao’s weather can change quickly, even in summer, packing a light rain jacket is recommended. Finally, respecting local customs enriches your visit—Basque culture is deeply rooted here, and learning simple phrases like “kaixo” (hello) is always appreciated.
