Bilbao is undoubtedly the most important city in the Basque Country and one of Spain's major economic and cultural hubs. It has a huge variety of relevant industries, as well as monuments of great stature, such as the Guggenheim Museum, a masterpiece by the famous architect Frank O. Gehry which is considered to be one of the most spectacular buildings in the world, the San Juan de Gaztelugatxe chapel and the Plaza Nueva. What's more, one of the most unique and celebrated teams in Spanish football Athletic Bilbao, plays its matches there. To get there and discover all of these places, it's definitely best to have a rental car. Enterprise Rent-A-Car has three branches in the region of Bilbao if you want to discover these places. The first is at Bilbao-Abando train station, the second is at Bilbao Airport and the third is at Calle Ibaibe 25, Barakaldo.

Things to do in Bilbao

Bilbao is undeniably a city full of interesting sights, which are easy to access if you have a rental car. The most famous of all these sights is the Guggenheim Museum, which is a marvel both on the outside and the inside. Likewise, travellers seeking to sample the most exquisite local cuisine in the heart of a unique place simply need to head to Plaza Nueva and stop by any of its pintxos bars. You can also visit the Marítimo de la Ría boulevard and Europa Park. The Iberdrola Tower, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Fingerprint Sculpture are other essential visits.

Places to visit near Bilbao

Not only is Bilbao home to spectacular points of interest within the city, the province also has truly interesting attractions that can be reached comfortably with a rental car from Enterprise. One of these is Orduña, a municipality considered to be an authentic jewel of nature and home to the source of the Nervión River. Equally spectacular is Areatza, located in the heart of the Gorbea Natural Park. Balmaseda, Karrantza and Guernica, a village where Pablo Picasso was inspired to paint one of his most famous works, are other places on the itinerary that can't be missed.

Parking and traffic in Bilbao

The traffic inside the old town of Bilbao is not excessively heavy, thanks to the fact that many areas are pedestrianised, as well as its excellent public transport infrastructure. It's also important to remember that most of the parking available there is paid or restricted. Therefore, given that it isn't an excessively large city, a good option is to leave your rental vehicle in a peripheral neighbourhood and use it to get around when you want to explore the province. The further you move away from the Ría area, the easier it will be to park.
