Sports Bars in Bilbao Posted: Fri April 20, 2007 11:51 AM UTC
Hi to everyone. We are staying in Bilbao on May 1 and would like to watch CL game Liverpool - Chelsea on that night. Any suggestions where we can go? Exact location would be very helpful. I learnt from the message below, that there are Irish bars like Kerry Sport Bar and Irish Stones in the town. Do they usually show CL games and English Premier League in general? Is it necessary to book in advance?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Zenit or Arana? Posted: Sat March 24, 2007 08:32 AM UTC
Third trip to Bilbao - stayed at Miro and Hesperia before.
Trying to decide Zenit or Petit Palace Arana? Don't mind the metro/tram, so not figuring location into the decision as much as the property/price (price is also fairly close).
Any thoughts on either or both of these hotels? Travelling in April.
Thanks for any info at all!

Car parking to get public transport into centre of city? Posted: Mon March 12, 2007 02:10 PM UTC
I will be spending 2 weeks this summer with my family in Cabezon de la Sal in Cantabria. We will have our car having traveled to Santurtzi/Bilbao on the P&O ferry from Portsmouth, UK. We would like to visit Bilbao for a day but I do not want to drive (and try to park) in the city of Bilbao.
Can anyone please recommend a place where I can park easily and safely outside of Bilbao and get the metro, train or bus into the centre? Perhaps something like a shopping centre near to metro station or similar? Thanks, John.

I October too cold for visiting Bilbao? Posted: Thu November 16, 2006 06:09 AM UTC
We plan our next trip, and are thinking about Bilbao, San Sebastian, Toulouse and Biarritz.
In general we go in vacation in June or September, because we hate the hot weather. However, we do not like to have many rains and too cold.
Is October a good period to visit this zone?

Bilbao Airport-Guggenheim-Bibao bus station Posted: Sat August 19, 2006 05:32 PM UTC
How do I get to Guggenheim from the Bilbao airport, in the cheapest and convenient way? I need to get as close to Guggenheim as possible, so that the walk is not too much - as I will have luggage with me. Also, is it possible to keep the luggage in the cloak room at the museum?
From Guggenheim, is there a direct bus to get to the Terminus bus station?

pension or budget accommodations at Algorta Posted: Tue July 4, 2006 12:50 PM UTC
My son and his friend will be spending 8 days in the Bilbao area starting July 19. They are mainly interested in the skate place in Algorta and the Ocean. I assume it is really hard to find a budget place at a beach area at this time of year, but would appreciate any suggestions. My son's friend speaks Spanish fluently so a place where only Spanish is spoken would not be a problem.
We have looked at info on youth hostels posted in this forum, but cannot quite picture how it would be to get from the youth hostel(s)to the beach.
Thanks!

Safety Posted: Wed June 28, 2006 03:56 AM UTC
Hello VTers!!
I've heard some very mixed reports about safety in Bilbao, and lots of people have stressed the presence of ETA in that area. Compared to other international cities, how does Bilbao rank on the safety scale?
An informed traveller is a safe traveller!!
Thanks thanks thanks,

I'm looking at Alsa website for a bus that leaves Santander Airport for Bilbao sometime after 14:00, and all I see is one bus that departs at 3:30. Does anyone know if there is more than one bus a day for this route and if it is, how do I get to that timetable? Thanks.

What are your area preferences? Posted: Tue May 30, 2006 06:36 PM UTC
I've been looking at some options for accommodations in San Sebastian and Bilbao and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend one particular area over another, and also under what names are they normally listed.
What would you recommend for someone looking to stay in a busy /but not overwhelming/ place in close proximity to some of the main streets and/or point of interest. Half an hour of walkind would be close enough for me. :)
Thank you very much !

Luggage store information...? Posted: Tue May 30, 2006 09:23 AM UTC
Hello all,
I am visiting Bilbao in June for a spot of surfing in San Sebastian but would like to stop off at the Guggenheim on my way. I'm arriving at the airport and know that I can take a direct bus to the museum but where can I store my luggage? I will have a surf board (in a bag) with me and a suitcase.
I will then need to get from the museum to the bus station for my bus to San Sebastian.
Any tips as to how I can make this journey run smoothly?
Thank you so much,
Kind regards, Jackie

just a beginner... Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 01:59 PM UTC
Hi there!
I will be flying from Toronto to Bilbao in a month. The purpose of my trip is to learn Spanish, get to know the people and explore some possibilities for legal stay and employment. So far my on-line search for accommodation and additional information for my stay hasn't been so successful, and I begin to feel a little bit scared. Last year I did fly-and-drive throughout the Costas, but there was so much information in English and the rest was easy.
I would be extremely grateful for your feedback, please share your thoughts, recommendations and maybe some first hand experiences.
Thanks in advance !
