OVERVIEW

Browse the spectacular collection of modern art in the iconic Guggenheim Museum at your own pace and explore Bilbao’s nearby Old Quarter for a historical perspective with a guided walk. Even the museum’s exterior is captivating, as architect Frank Gehry designed it to be sculptural with swirls of titanium and huge glass panes. As you will discover inside, the majority of the collection features modern art from the mid-20th century to the present. The names of the artists read like a Who’s Who of talent that includes Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning, Jeff Koons, Robert Rauschenberg and several contemporary Spanish artists. A guided walk through Bilbao’s pedestrianized Old Quarter will present plenty of urban charms as it is a wonderfully vibrant district full of historical monuments and picture-worthy corners. Tapas bars and one-of-a-kind shops will be at your fingertips during free time.
