From the Bilbao World / Travel essentials

Getting Around Bilbao

Central Bilbao rewards walking along the estuary, while metro, bus, tram and the Artxanda funicular help with longer distances and hills.

Why go

The river provides a simple walking line between Casco Viejo and the Guggenheim, with bridges offering choices on either bank. Use the metro or buses for areas beyond that central stretch, the tram for selected riverfront journeys, and the funicular for Artxanda's climb. A Barik card may simplify repeated public transport trips; check present validity and fares before buying.

Useful to know

  • Walk the central riverfront when you want to connect Casco Viejo with the Guggenheim.
  • Use the Artxanda funicular for the hilltop viewpoint rather than treating the climb as a level city walk.
  • Check the current route and ticket rules for each transport mode before making several transfers.
