Bilbao city breaks are a curious mix of modern and traditional. The lively city center offers visitors a warm welcome and a great choice of delicious Basque cuisine and trendy bars. The buzzing pedestrian streets of the Casco Viejo old town rival anything in Madrid and Barcelona, the medieval streets wend their way around the pretty Plaza Nueva, the city's main square. A short stroll away, the daily Ribera market bustles with activity as locals throng the stalls with exotic cuts of meat and seafood, and you will find a fantastic display of fruit and vegetables.

Although the Guggenheim Museum is the star attraction of Bilbao, it is no way the only one. The entire area around Guggenheim, what was the city's shipyards, has undergone massive changes and is still being developed as a center for art and culture. Most notable among these developments is the Euskalduna Conference Center. It is this contrast between old and new that makes Bilbao such an interesting place to visit.
