- In this video, I’ll be your tour guide as we explore the beautiful city of Bilbao, located in northern Spain.
As an architect, I’m fascinated by the unique and innovative designs that Bilbao has to offer. Throughout our journey, I’ll showcase some of the city's most iconic buildings, including the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry.
But architecture isn't the only thing that makes Bilbao special. The city is also known for its diverse and vibrant neighborhoods, each with its own character and charm. We'll stroll through the atmospheric streets of the Old Town, where you can find some of the best pintxos in the city. We'll also visit the Abando neighborhood, home to some of Bilbao's most fashionable shops and restaurants. And of course, we'll take a walk along the Nervion River, which winds its way through the heart of the city.
Throughout our journey, I'll introduce you to some of the best local cuisine that Bilbao has to offer.
So come along with me on this architectural and culinary adventure through Bilbao. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast or a foodie, this city is sure to delight and inspire you.

Great video. I'm from Bilbao and it's very nice to see how my city is loved by other country people
It's a great city!
@@DoubleTee2 thanks bro!! ❤️🙏
In terms of architecture, I think you missed some imo highlights: César Pelli's Iberdrola Tower, Arata Isozaki's Isozaki Atea and many other early 20h Century housing, which includes some amazing buildings. Thank you for your words about my hometown. It's always to hear nice things about the place where you live.
I'll make sure to check these out on my next visit!
Great video! Going to visit it next month. Please record more travel videos of these beautiful cities.
Thanks! I would absolutely love to do more travel videos - is there a city you'd like to see?
Great. I think you missed Alhóndiga, with the columns of Philippe Starck
VITORIA BELLA, capital del mundo
Really nice job, man!!! Going there in 299 days :) Not that I'm counting
You're going to have a great time!
Regional power into town can be used at the gound level to increase productivity at street level, and if sales are good, a lot of business for people to remodel residential interiors. River is awesome and the city is really Charming. I think production of quality goods produced from green energy which are painted to reflect the beauty of the city or region could sell well. My focus is on getting people to invest back into the property they own and to encourage growth. If people associate home ownership with equity generation and opportunities to repay borrowed money are sustained over prelonged periods of time, there ought to be reason to invest back into your property and try and see a return off your enjoying a higher standard of living.
Bilbao with the Gugenheim can be used in the movie, and it's one of the reasons why a city might agree to co-own iconic building for their cityscape. It's really important that they are profitable though. But aspects of Bilbao can be used as representative of a neighborhood of Paris in the movie. It's okay for one city to have multiple types of architecture, and it seems as though they are on the same river too! I think Spain got Pinchas from Copenhagen!
I agree, the city is very charming!
Bilbao is a BASQUE city. That is its essence. Nothing to do with Spanish or French cities.
Strange not to show the art nouveau-art deco buildings of the burgeoisie of the end of XIX and start of the XXth century in the enlargement of the city/Abando district. All basque cities are simply great.
There was so much great architecture throughout the city center, but I did try to focus on specific attractions as much as possible. I'll definitely try to expand on this video in a future trip!
Nice video! How is the last restaurant you mentioned called?
The last one is called Agape!
Other interesting buildings:
The twin towers "Isozaki Atea" ("Isozaki Gate") designed by Arata Isozaki, visible at 3:22
The Vizcaya Bridge ("Bizkaiko Zubia" in Basque) a transporter bridge World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Azkuna Zentroa (Formerly "La alhóndiga") designed by Philippe Starck
The Euskalduna Conference Centre and Concert Hall
I loved the twin towers!
Well, one error, you mentios the municipal library which actually it's not the municipal one own by Bilbao city, located in the old Towns, instead it's the Vizcaya Provincial or Foral Library, how it's named, owns by the province of Biscay.
Bilbao is Basque city from Basque Country, a stateless nation under two states: France and Spain. That is the essence of this city. The identity and cultural background.
Maybe next time forget the food stuff and concentrate on the architecture.
Thanks for the feedback!
