Explore Bilbao with your car rental

One of the highlights for visitors traveling to Bilbao is to make the trip to Plaza Nueva, a beautiful historic town square. Here you will find several bars and restaurants, and it makes a great place to people-watch for an afternoon. From there, make the short drive just to the north of the city center to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Not only is this a recommended place to see amazing works of art, but the architecture of the building itself and the location on the river is quite amazing.
