Bilbao Essentials

Il paesaggio di Bilbao mostra una spettacolare trasformazione da porto industriale a centro globale del design d'avanguardia. La città è dominata dal Guggenheim Museum di Frank Gehry, rivestito in titanio, e dal ponte pedonale Zubizuri di Santiago Calatrava. Oltre alle icone moderne, lo storico Casco Viejo ospita la neoclassica Plaza Nueva e il Teatro Arriaga del XIX secolo. Punti di riferimento culturali come l'Azkuna Zentroa, progettato da Philippe Starck, e il Museo di Belle Arti di Bilbao completano l'evoluzione architettonica della città, mentre la Funicolare di Artxanda offre viste panoramiche sulla valle del fiume Nervión.
