What you'll do

Begin your visit to Bilbao's famous Guggenheim by meeting your local guide at the museum's entrance. Opened in 1997, this iconic titanium structure, designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, rejuvenated the city's industrial riverfront and is now home to over 250 modern artworks. Your host will have already organized your tickets, so you'll enjoy a fast, hassle-free entrance to the museum. With a background in history and art, your guide will provide expert and personal insights as you browse permanent and temporary galleries.

During the two-hour visit, you'll see famous pieces such as the spider-like "Maman" by Louise Bourgeois and Richard Serra's huge weathered steel sculpture, "The Matter of Time." You'll also admire lesser-known artwork and hidden gems that visitors often miss. Let your guide know if you have a particular art interest, and they'll tailor the visit accordingly. At the end of your visit, you can continue exploring independently. Bid farewell to your guide, who'll happily recommend other top Bilbao attractions.
