Bilbao

Bilbao, a vibrant port city in northern Spain, is surrounded by green mountains and considered the true capital of the Basque Country. Combining tradition and modernity, its urban center is marked by skyscrapers and historic streets. The biggest icon of Bilbao is the Guggenheim Museum, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, whose innovative architecture, with its curved shapes and titanium cladding, has become a global symbol. Since its inauguration in 1997, the Guggenheim has driven the city's revitalization and houses important collections of modern and contemporary art.
