Door to the North
Bilbao´s strategic location and excellent communications, make it and
ideal point of entry to the whole of the north of the Iberian Peninsula and
southwest France.
The city is a connection hub to roads, motorways and railroads that join Europe
with the rest of Spain and Portugal.
The airport, by architect Santiago Calatrava, is located just 6 Km from the
city, and offers regular flights to many European capitals. By sea, the "Pride
of Bilbao" ferry joins Bilbao and Portsmouth (UK) twice a week.
In terms of inner transport, the city itself offers an efficient bus service,
a modern Metro designed by Norman Foster, and a recently inaugurated tramway
service.
In addition, there are plenty of options for car and van hire; a convenient
way of visiting other near-by regions.
