Overview
Take a trip to Guggenheim Museum on your Spain Vacation
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, located in Basque Country, Spain, showcases modern and contemporary art within a stunning architectural masterpiece designed by Frank Gehry. Spanning 258,333 sq-ft (24,000) sq-m, with 9,000 dedicated to exhibition space, it stands as a landmark of innovative design.
The museum's central atrium acts as a hub, connecting visitors to approximately 20 galleries across three levels. While some galleries follow traditional rectangular layouts, others feature unique shapes, including angled or curving walls and occasional balconies. Free guided tours are available daily at 11 am and 1 pm, offering insight into the museum's permanent collection and current exhibitions. Also, on select Fridays at 2 pm, curators lead tours of the latest exhibitions.

EuroWhat do the experts say?
If you are looking for the best time to visit, I would recommend Spring and early Fall. The weather wont be too hot and you will be avoiding the peak season where not only does the temperature rise, but there are lots of crowds.
Be wary that lunch and dinner are taken very late compared to North America! And don't expect to just pop into the shops around midday - most of them shut for a siesta break!
Most people do not know that most regions of Spain have their own language and traditions. This makes visiting Spain such a unique experience - everywhere you go is like visiting a completely new country
