Gourmet Tour - Fine Art & Fine Dining

OVERVIEW

Settle in for a panoramic drive through Bilbao that focuses on its art museums, one of which you will visit before dining in the Old Quarter. As you will discover, many of the museums are works of art themselves, especially the Guggenheim. Begin your journey at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, where Frank Gehry’s titanium-clad marvel rises like a shimmering sculpture along the Nervión River. This iconic museum is more than an art space—it’s an immersive universe of contemporary creativity. Walk through its undulating halls and let yourself be captivated by thought-provoking installations, monumental sculptures, and avant-garde masterpieces. From the reflective play of light on its exterior to the hypnotic curves of Richard Serra’s The Matter of Time, every moment here is a dialogue between art and perception. Contemporary Basque and Spanish State art is also represented through a selection of works, which consist of new acquisitions to the museum's permanent collection. In the pedestrian-friendly medieval Old Quarter, you will enjoy a traditional Basque seafood lunch and a wine that perfectly pairs with it. See Bilbao’s most representative landmarks on a panoramic drive through the city. Pass by the iconic Guggenheim Museum and browse the Museum of Fine Arts. Dine on traditional Basque cuisine in Bilbao’s medieval Old Quarter.
