Top-Rated Bilbao Shore Excursions

Ships dock at Getxo near the mouth of the estuary, about half an hour from central Bilbao and close to the Vizcaya transporter bridge. The Guggenheim Museum and the pintxo bars of the old town are the main city draws, and day trips go to San Sebastián, the Rioja wine country or the island chapel of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
