transformed the city. It is undeniable that since its inauguration Bilbao has been recognised all over the world and has radically renewed its image. It is one of the most important places of interest to see in the city, making it one of Bilbao&#8217;s most iconic symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the spectacular nature of the building, its surroundings are also beautiful. Surrounded by promenades, green spaces and squares, the museum is home to works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Eduardo Chillida, Yves Klein, Jeff Koons and Fujiko Nakaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum also serves as a popular meeting place where you can relax, listen to live music or play sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bilbao-estuary\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bilbao-Estuary\"><\/span>Bilbao Estuary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>La R\u00eda de Bilbao (the estuary) stands out in its landscape. It can also serve as a reference point to help you find your way around the city as it is a key spot.&nbsp;A walk along the estuary and its bridges is one of the essential things to do in Bilbao Spain. What&#8217;s more, La R\u00eda also guides you to the Casco Viejo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"zubizuri-bridge\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zubizuri-Bridge\"><\/span>Zubizuri Bridge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"17060\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/spain\/things-to-do-in-bilbao-spain\/attachment\/zubizuri-bridge-bilbao\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/zubizuri-bridge-bilbao.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"zubizuri-bridge-bilbao\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/zubizuri-bridge-bilbao.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/zubizuri-bridge-bilbao.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/zubizuri-bridge-bilbao.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/zubizuri-bridge-bilbao.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/zubizuri-bridge-bilbao.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/zubizuri-bridge-bilbao.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Zubizuri Brudge, Bilbao @marinaruiz_&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Zubizuri has become an icon of the city, and is an essential stop on your trip to Bilbao. It is also known as the &#8220;Calatrava bridge&#8221; as its architect has been the talk of the town since its inauguration. It is an arched structure that is reminiscent of a sailboat and stands ten metres above the estuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, this bridge is the point where Uribarte meets Campo Volant\u00edn and, despite the controversy it has caused, it is one of the most representative symbols of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-arriaga-theatre\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Arriaga-Theatre\"><\/span>The Arriaga Theatre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"17061\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/spain\/things-to-do-in-bilbao-spain\/attachment\/arriada-theatre-bilbao-spain\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriada-theatre-bilbao-spain.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"683,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"arriada-theatre-bilbao-spain\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriada-theatre-bilbao-spain.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriada-theatre-bilbao-spain.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"17061\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriada-theatre-bilbao-spain.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriada-theatre-bilbao-spain.jpg?w=683&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriada-theatre-bilbao-spain.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"17062\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/spain\/things-to-do-in-bilbao-spain\/attachment\/arriaga-theatre-bilbao\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriaga-theatre-bilbao.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"683,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"arriaga-theatre-bilbao\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriaga-theatre-bilbao.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriaga-theatre-bilbao.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"17062\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriaga-theatre-bilbao.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriaga-theatre-bilbao.jpg?w=683&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/arriaga-theatre-bilbao.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Arriaga Theatre @maialen95<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arriaga Theatre is a surprisingly beautiful building that you must see in Bilbao.
