Bilbao is the largest city in the Basque Country and, with its airport, serves as the principal gateway to the region. Since its opening in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum has not only attracted national and international visitors as a tourist attraction and crowd puller, but also brought global visibility to the city.
However, a closer look at the “Bilbao effect,” among other things, quickly reveals that the museum project is only the tip of the iceberg: Bilbao's urban development, based on an ambitious and visionary master plan with all its different themes, continues to make Bilbao a current benchmarking reference for international planners who want to master a similar transformation from a former industrial city to a modern service metropolis.
We invite you to join our tours and get to know this city in all its facets, accompanied by an architect—from the revitalized locations, whose profound transformations can now only be understood with the help of historical photos and explanations, to the interesting game-changing effects of the famous Guggenheim.
