Old Quarter Of Bilbao Walking Tour
Discovering Bilbao’s old quarter, known as the Casco Viejo, without a guide could give you only a fragmented picture of its sights and history. This walking tour ensures that you'll cover the must-sees without getting lost, and provides a guide to share their stories—insight you may miss if by yourself. Plus, the tour finishes with a river estuary boat trip, letting you view more of the city from the water.
What to expect?
-
Over 500 years of history will be explored on this walking tour. From the Cathedral of Santiago, Plaza Nueva, the Church of St. Anton and the ruins on which it stands, and the Mercado de la Ribera. This is where the town was born, this is where was the port and from this place, the city opened to the world serving as a bridge between northern Europe and the Hispanic kingdoms. You'll be guided by your professional tour guide in a small group.
