fly to the beautiful city of Bilbao from London Gatwick and Bristol

Bilbao is a lively, fun city where you can easily while away a weekend, or a short break - and with easyJet, it couldn't be easier to get there! And with fares starting from £17.99, there's no excuse not to go!

The heart of Bilbao’s old quarter is formed by the famous 'Seven Streets', which are jam-packed with shops, bars, cafés, and restaurants. Wander around for a bit, find one of the quaint plazas and indulge in some 'people-watching' with a glass of wine and some 'pinchos', little bite-size snacks of fish, meat, seafood, and vegetables. Or visit the Guggenheim Museum, one of the most extraordinary and graceful buildings you could ever look at, or out from; built on the site of a disused shipyard, this has become the first stop in most people's tour of the city!

For a bird’s eye view of Bilbao and beyond, take a three-minute, almost vertical ride up 770 metres on the Funicular of Artxanda, where a magnificent old cable car struggles up the hill every 15 minutes. And if you want to explore further afield as a result of what you’ve seen up there, the historic sea town of Portugalete is about 20 minutes away from Bilbao. The town is famous for its impressive transporter bridge and other local monuments. If you visit on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday morning you’ll catch the buzzing market in the Plaza de Solar.

So why not treat your loved one to a short break to this bastion of the Basques? You don’t have to go to Paris just to have a romantic trip for two, you know!

Go on, do something spontaneous, and book now!
