Discover the essence of Great Bilbao with a Getxo Tour that brings together industrial heritage, stately architecture, and maritime flavour on a complete route along both banks of the Nervion River.
Starting from Bilbao, you stop at the Punta Galea viewpoints to take in the coastline and understand how iron and trade shaped the landscape. You then explore Getxo Getxo on the right bank, from the elegance of Las Arenas and the mansions of Neguri to the photogenic charm of Algorta’s Old Port, with its whitewashed centuries old houses, steep lanes, and seafaring atmosphere.
You cross the estuary via the Vizcaya Bridge, a nineteenth-century engineering icon and UNESCO World Heritage site, to reach the left bank and the medieval town of Portugalete. Here, the historic street plan, the routes of the Camino de Santiago, and the urban layout reveal the social contrasts born of industrialization.
