From currency and getting around to futuristic titanium architecture, historic medieval quarters, and legendary pintxos crawls, we've got the essentials covered for your trip to the heart of the Basque Country.

Language & Currency

Official language Basque & Spanish Both are official. Basque (Euskera) is proudly spoken as a point of regional heritage. English is widely understood in restaurants, hotels, and key museums
Payments Euro (€) Credit and debit cards are standard for all transactions. It is useful to carry some physical cash for small transactions at traditional pintxo bars

Getting Around

Fastest Metro Bilbao Designed by Norman Foster, the metro system is incredibly efficient, clean, and fast. Purchase a "Barik" contactless card to use the metro, buses, and trams
Also popular Euskotran Tram & Bilbobus The green, modern tram runs along the riverfront, directly linking the historic old town to the Guggenheim Museum. Bilbobus covers local municipal routes

Top Attractions

Guggenheim Museum Frank Gehry's awe-inspiring titanium masterpiece of modern architecture, featuring exceptional modern art exhibits and the famous giant floral "Puppy"
Casco Viejo (Seven Streets) The colorful, historic medieval quarter centered around the "Siete Calles", packed with local boutiques, cathedral towers, and lively food markets

Events & Culture

Local Dining Etiquette The Pintxos Ritual Pintxos (small Basque tapas) are on display at the bars. Order a drink (like Txakoli white wine), select one or two pintxos, eat, pay, and move on to the next bar
Year-Round Txakoli & Basque Seafood Enjoy a glass of slightly sparkling, dry local Txakoli white wine paired with fresh Basque cod (Bacalao al Pil-Pil) or spider crab (Txangurro)
