You will experience Casco Viejo, wandering its small streets full of sights, original shops, pintxo barsand restaurants.
Do you prefer to step out your door into the heart of the city? Then this is your district. Casco Viejo, located by the river, is Bilbao's city centre. In 1300, the first settlement arose through trade in fish and agricultural products: seven parallel streets and Plaza Santiago. As the city expanded, Atxuri emerged; once a suburb, now self-contained. Small and with local character. In Casco Viejo, you'll find beautiful, centuries-old (religious) buildings. With its bustling food market, original shops, important sights and delicious pintxos on every corner, the district is loved by Basque Bilbaíno and tourists alike.
