Experience the cultural charms, quirky architecture and rich history of Bilbao on a half-day outing that includes a scenic coach drive through the city, guided walking tour through the Old Quarter, plus a stop by the Bizkaia Bridge. A 30-minute bus ride brings you to Bilbao, the industrial and financial capital of Spain's Basque country. Enjoy a passing glimpse of the sky-high Iberdrola Tower and twin Isozaki Towers en route to Moount Artxanda, where you'll make a photo stop at a viewpoint high above the city. In the Old Quarter, locally known as Casco Viejo, you can take an optional guided walking tour to learn about this area's 700-year-old history, or relish free time to stroll around charming streets, peek in independent shops, or eat pintxos, an authentic Basque culinary tradition. Then it's on the Getxo, an affluent neighborhood along the Nervion River. On the Bizkaia Bridge, your guide will tell you all about the famous hanging bridge's construction as the oldest shuttle bridge in the world. You are then free to head out along the pedestrian walkway or take the lift up to the top (additional cost applies).
