Where to sleep
Bilbao has a well established hotel tradition, with a very high quality of service. The city has been an important financial and commercial centre, hence offering many excellent hotels to meet the demands of the business traveller. The number of hotels has grown in parallel to the demand, which has risen sharply since the opening of the Guggenheim Museum. Hotels in Bilbao cater to all tastes and budgets – from 5-star hotels to hostels, including the recently inaugurated youth hostel. There are also many rural hotels and camp sites in the vicinity.
