Bilbao in a Day: Is It Worth the Hype?

Bilbao in a Day: Is It Worth the Hype? 🇪🇸 I flew to Bilbao for just 12 hours – arriving in the morning and flying out by night. In this video, I take you through everything I saw, explored, and experienced in one whirlwind day. From the iconic curves of the Guggenheim Museum to the panoramic views from Mount Artxanda, I packed in as much culture, history, and architecture as one can fit into a single day.

Along the way, we’ll explore:
🏛️ The titanium marvel of the Guggenheim Museum
🕷️ Maman the Spider and Puppy the Flower Dog
🌳 A walk through Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park
🚋 A scenic tram ride to the heart of the Old Town
⛰️ A ride on the Funicular de Artxanda for sweeping city views
🏛️ Azkuna Zentroa – the Philippe Starck-designed cultural center
🧭 And a few surprises around Bilbao’s striking mix of old and new

📍 Whether you’re planning your own visit or just curious about this fascinating Basque city, this video gives you a full picture of what to expect – and helps you decide: Is Bilbao worth the hype for a day trip?
