Bilbao Bridges & Riverside Icons with Pintxo Tasting

Walk Bilbao’s riverside, bridges, and Old Town with a local. Discover icons and hidden stories, ending with a pintxo and txakoli tasting.
Experience Bilbao through the lens of its river, where shipyards once stood and modern icons now define the skyline. This private guided walk blends stories of industry, architecture, and culture with the taste of a true Basque classic.

Strolling along the Nervión River, you’ll trace Bilbao’s transformation from steel and shipbuilding to design and gastronomy. Iconic landmarks such as the Guggenheim Museum, Zubizuri Bridge, and La Salve Bridge reveal how architecture and art reshaped the city’s image, while stories of the past bring context to its dramatic renewal.

Your local guide will also lead you into the heart of Casco Viejo, Bilbao’s atmospheric Old Town. Its medieval lanes, lively squares, and historic market give a glimpse of the city before its transformation, making a vivid contrast to the modern riverside.

Expect to uncover both the celebrated icons and hidden corners that most visitors pass by. Along the way, engaging anecdotes and personal insights will connect Bilbao’s bridges, streets, and neighborhoods into a single, authentic story.

To complete the walk, pause for a tasting of a pintxo paired with a glass of txakoli. This classic Basque combination adds a flavorful layer to the experience, letting you savor Bilbao’s everyday food culture in an authentic setting.

By the end of the tour, you’ll have seen Bilbao’s highlights from multiple angles — riverfront icons and Old Town charm — and enjoyed a taste of its culinary tradition. You’ll also leave with personal recommendations and local tips to explore more on your own, making this the ideal introduction to the city.
