毕尔巴鄂 Attractions
Sitting on the banks of the Nervión River near the northern coast of Basque Country, the Spanish city of Bilbao is an industrial port destination that has recently undergone a revival. In the last few decades, the once gritty city has become a hub for art and architecture, thanks in large part to the cutting-edge Guggenheim Museum. Though it's not known as much for its physical beauty as the nearby resort town of San Sebastián, Bilbao boasts an unexpected mix of things to do, eat, and see. Modern skyscrapers mingle on the streets with centuries-old churches, and long-standing fish markets meld with high-end boutiques. Along with its art, Bilbao is renowned for its culinary culture-one that centers around traditional small bites known as pintxos. In the outskirts of town, Basque Country offers a quiet retreat from urban living, full of tiny villages, rolling vineyards, and beautiful beaches.
