Bilbao & the Guggenheim

Santander

by coach & on foot

Departing from Santander, an approximately 80-minute journey will take you to Bilbao for a visit of the remarkable Guggenheim Museum.

Designed by American architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Museum, was instantly hailed as the most important structure of its time, representing a magnificent example of the most groundbreaking 20th century architecture. This unique titanium, stone and glass sculpture houses a wonderful collection of modern and contemporary art. Your guide will provide you with commentary on the exterior before you enter for a self-guided visit to the hugely popular museum.

After visiting the museum and time permitting you will have some free time to explore the many streets before returning to your coach for the journey back to the ship.
