Car Hire Bilbao

Famous for cultural attractions as well as grand historical buildings and surrounded by lush green hills with scenic mountains, native forest and lovely beaches, Bilbao is the perfect place to be explored with a Spanish car hire booked with Auto Europe.

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: a massive modern building clad in titanium with various modern and contemporary art collections from around the world.

Explore the city centre, where you can visit some more of the historical buildings for which Bilbao is famous: 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.

Drive north and choose one of the many stunning beaches in the area to escape the busy city streets, or for a nice daytrip head east from Bilbao and visit the city of San Sebastian and many towns and villages of the region.
