Bilbao: Reinvention of a City

What was originally an underdeveloped and especially forgotten industrial and port city in the north of Spain has today developed into a cultural and economic hotspot in Spain and Europe. The avant-garde has found its way into the north of the country with futuristic buildings, with new concepts for traditional Spanish cuisine and gastronomy, with a cosmopolitan outlook that looks to the future, and not least with the rediscovery of old Basque traditions that have once again found their way into everyday life. 

  • Experience not only THE museum of modern art in the Basque Country, but go behind-the-scenes of the Guggenheim Museum, and discover the hidden world of the Basque Guggenheim.

  • Meet the Michelin-starred "transformers of Basque cuisine", who have catapulted traditional Basque cuisine into the 21st century.

  • Head to the mountains to visit the YSIOS winery, with insights from the makers of the world’s premier Rioja wine.
