Bilbao Bilbao To Lourdes
Posted: Tue March 17, 2009 03:22 PM UTC
I will be visiting Bilbao in the summer with my family and we would like to take a day trip into Lourdes. I was wondering what the easiest/fastest way to get there would be. Is there and train or bus that goes there and where can I catch it from? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Lourdes is in France and best reached by car from Bilbao. The journey would take about 3 hours without stopping. I am certain that it would take far longer using public transport.
If you want, open an online map like http://maps.google.co.uk/ and you can obtain driving directions.

i love car travel is the best way. the crossing into from Spain and France still needs some modern improvements to make it easier on folks. Nevertheless,
this taxi outfit in lourdes claims to travel to Bilbao, so you might contact them directly

you can see more info on the bilbao tourist pages or try search on VT destinations here

We took the trains going the other way and they do connect. The transfer between trains at the border was a bit confusing. The trains are scheduled closly together, so some haste is required.

We got lucky and some students pointed and we ran.
