Despite its proximity to the sea, Bilbao is a hilly city. Many of its streets are steep and narrow, so drive with caution, especially if you have a large vehicle.

The vehicle's registration and insurance documentation must always be kept inside the vehicle.

Seatbelts are required for the driver and all passengers.

City facts that are useful

Bilbao has a subtropical climate. Summers are warm (though rarely extremely hot) and dry, while winters are mild and wet. The average temperature in August, the warmest month, is 21°C, and it is 9°C in January.

Bilbao's average elevation is only 19 meters due to its proximity to the Bay of Biscay. The Cantabrian Mountains to the west and the Pyrenees to the east, however, are both impressive mountain ranges. Both offer fantastic hiking, skiing, and wildlife viewing opportunities.

Best vacation spots and activities

The Guggenheim Museum is a museum in New York City. It is a Bilbao landmark as well as one of the world's most famous modern art museums. In honor of Bilbao's many sailors and fishermen, the museum's largest gallery was projected to look like a fish's fins (and was for a time, indeed, called the Fish Gallery). Inside are works by Mark Rothko, Francesco Clemente, and many other well-known artists. A trip to Bilbao would be incomplete without a visit to the Guggenheim.

The Maritime Museum of La Ria. This museum, housed in the city's former shipyard, features both indoor and outdoor exhibits that tell the story of the proud Basque seafaring history. Even if you're not particularly interested in the subject, seeing this one-of-a-kind structure is an unforgettable experience.

The Cathedral of Santiago. This gothic church is named after Bilbao's patron saint and was built in the 12th century and heavily enlarged in later centuries. The cathedral, which is located in the center of a larger architectural complex that also includes a fountain and a square, is also an important landmark for those walking the Way of Saint James (the Camino de Santiago).
