Architecture Places Map
Architecture in Bilbao:
Viscay Bridge
If you're planning to take the elevator up, remember to bring some change. I didn't and had to run around looking for a shop to get coins. Super annoying!
Grab a snack at the nearby cafes before heading up. There’s nothing up top, and I underestimated how hungry I’d get while admiring the views!
Definitely check the weather before you go. I got caught in a downpour while crossing, which made the experience a bit less enjoyable. Plus, you want to capture those great photos!
Ribera Market
New Square
Azkuna Zentroa
If you're into photography, the best time to snap pics is around noon when the light hits just right. Trust me, your Instagram will thank you!
If you want to delve into the architectural details, don't rush through it. Take your time—I felf like I missed some cool aspects just because I was moving too quickly!
My advice is to get a guidebook or download a city app to get some background on the architecture. It adds so much more to the experience and helps you appreciate the details!
I recommend checking out the little cafes on the ground floor. They have cheap but super tasty snacks and coffee, perfect for when you need a break!
