Exploring Bilbao with a Rental Car

Famous for cultural attractions as well as grand historical buildings, Bilbao offers loads of options for visitors staying in the city. One of the city's newest attractions is the Guggenheim Museum, which was built in the late 20th century. Drive your hire car north of the town centre, and visit the museum which is located just near the Nervion River which passes through the city. Housed inside a massive modern building clad in titanium, the museum showcases various art collections from around the world, and one of the permanent centrepieces is a 12 metre tall sculpture of a puppy covered in live flowers which is located in front of the building.

Jump into your rental car and head into the city centre, where you can visit some more of the historical buildings for which Bilbao is famous. Located on the east side of the river, the 14th century Cathedral of St James is a popular attraction and a short distance east from here you can also visit the Basilica de Begona, which was built in the 1500s and is an icon of the city.

If you have seen enough of the city's sights and its time to cool off, simply head north in your rental car and choose from one of the many beaches in the area. For a nice daytrip, head east from Bilbao and visit the city of San Sebastian. Located just a short drive away, here you can see the famous Miramar Palace, and also visit some more of the area's famous beaches.
