Bilbao → Bilbao city centre: key facts

A private transfer from Bilbao Airport (BIO) to Bilbao city centre costs €55 per car for 1–3 passengers and €75 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 8 km; the drive takes about 15 min with clear roads, so plan on 15–25 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the airport's terminal, after baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

The airport at Loiu is roughly 12 km north of the centre, and the drive follows the BI-631 and the A-8 to the Bilbao estuary, arriving along the Nervión river. Rush hours load the Txorierri road and the bridges into the city. The Casco Viejo (the Siete Calles) is pedestrian, so the car stops on its edge, around the Arenal or Plaza Circular, and you walk in. Hotels around Gran Vía and Abando are reachable by car.

Bilbao's centre lies on both banks of the Nervión river. The Casco Viejo, with its Siete Calles, the Plaza Nueva and the Santiago cathedral, is on the right bank, while the Abando district on the left bank holds the Gran Vía, Plaza Moyúa and the Abandoibarra riverside promenade. The Guggenheim Museum stands on the river near the Zubizuri footbridge. The Bilbao-La Vieja area and the Ensanche are on the same side. The Termibus and the Abando railway station are a few minutes from the centre. Summer is mild, and the Aste Nagusia festival fills the town in August.

Public transport instead: Bizkaibus bus A3247 from Bilbao airport to Plaza Moyúa / Termibus (Bilbao Intermodal), every 15-30 minutes during the day.
