Bilbao by private jet Estimated flight time from Paris : 1h20
The largest city in Spain’s Basque Country, Bilbao is cosmopolitan, vibrant, and dynamic, with cutting-edge architecture, a pleasant climate, and an undeniable charm. It’s the perfect place to relax or immerse yourself in Iberian culture.
A stroll along the Bilbao waterfront offers the chance to admire landmarks such as the Euskalduna Bridge and the Zubizuri Bridge, as well as striking examples of contemporary urban design. On sunny days, the walk can continue toward the Arenal Bridge, leading to the Casco Viejo — Bilbao’s historic old town.
Here, the Cathedral of Santiago is the most prominent building in the old quarter. Built on the foundations of an ancient chapel, it now serves as the seat of the Diocese of Bilbao. Its small scale and purely Gothic style make it stand out as one of the city’s architectural treasures. The cathedral also lies on one of the famous pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela.
Culture lovers will find no shortage of treasures in Bilbao. The Arriaga Theater, often called the “New Theater of Bilbao,” stands proudly in the heart of the city. A commemorative plaque honoring Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga, the “Spanish Mozart,” adorns one of its walls. Inside, the grand hall spans three levels, hosting performances of poetry, music, comedy, and drama year-round.
The Maritime Museum, meanwhile, displays an impressive collection of items and artifacts connected to seafaring life. Visitors can even step aboard some of the ships on display.

Jetmiles Recommendations:
For breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city, hike up Mount Artxanda. After an enjoyable walk, relax and dine in the peaceful surroundings, far removed from the bustle of Bilbao. Here, you’ll also find a memorial to the Spanish Civil War by artist Juanjo Novella. The summit can also be reached via funicular.
The colorful houses on Zuberoa Street in Bilbao are worth a visit for their unique visual appeal. These charming, English-inspired homes have captivated passersby for over a century. A stroll through this neighborhood feels like stepping into another world.
Bilbao truly comes alive at night. As dusk falls, the waterfront transforms into a lively scene — enjoy a drink by the pier or near the theater and savor the region’s delicious local cuisine amid the city’s vibrant evening atmosphere.
