CITY IN BRIEF

Bilbao is a cosmopolitan, open, welcoming, lively, elegant and modern city which brings together features of a unique cultural heritage, with a new aesthetic in which the avant-garde shares the streets with art to create a new balanced and remarkable urban landscape.

Bilbao that you see today is the result of a historic process of renovation reinvention which was necessary to address the new challenges of the 21st century. It began with the opening of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 1997, which undoubtedly marked a starting point for the impressive and renowned economic, urban and environmental transformation of the city.

Bilbao has all the equipment, venues and services needed for conferences and meetings. Its urban, warm and personal character encourages any visitor to stay and feel part of the city.

The stunning Euskalduna Conference Centre, and the charming Arriaga Theatre together with the sobriety of its river estuary, display the urban face of a city so obviously on the up.
