A nice little cave that worth a try. Check before going schedule of visits. Some are in French. Some picnic tables are there, a souvenir shop and a cafe.

Nice experience and it's nice to have a tour guide that comes with the tickets!

Amazing!!! Great fun plan for kids&adults

Very interesting visit, besides, the staff has been very kind. Totally recommendable!

Smallish but well preserved cave. Tour guide was excellent. Worth a visit.

Very interesting...

i don't remember if i had posted a review about this place the time i went, but jesus, don't go watch the film they're showing.. or do 😅🤣it's the most bizarre and uneducational film

Gorgeous museum, and the town itself is just stunning. Go to the cave. Great day trip from San Sebastian.

Inspiring caves and museum

A joke of a museum... I don't recommend as there is nothing interesting ☹

Very dissatisfied with the "museum". It's like the townst folk got together and wondered..."What can we sell as a tourist attraction?.... How about a witch museum!" And then someone like me would fall for it. There was nothing of interest in the "witch building". Basically, there were projector screens everywhere and clips on a loop in different languages. €4.50 to see a few clips on a some improvised projector screens. That's it folks, don't even bother. It's a tourist trap.

Total disapointment. Very litle about witches, mostly about life in general in older times. Starting quite interesting with a goat skull, but that was about it. Had some videos in different language, but seem like not many saw them through and many just passed as there was no indication when they would be finished and you could start over from the beginning.

The whole second floor has nothing to to do with Witches. And if you want to get spook, this museum is not the place to go. Too boring for children, not scary enough for teens, might be interesting enough for adults.

A very beautiful and picturesque place, first walking along the path along the mountain river you get into a huge cave with many paths. A wonderful place for a walk and just relaxing with friends and family.👌

Great place took my dog with and he enjoyed small river

A pleasant walk. Probably more interesting for the history than for the caves themselves. But pretty.

Great experience. Beautiful self guided walk around the town and the cave area. Gorgeous river and nature walk as well. It’s pretty steep at a few points and with muddy/rocky steps so not wheelchair accessible/friendly. I recommend getting tickets, but we got ours just a few hours before our visit so no need to get them in advance for off season. There’s a car park in town near a public toilet and a restaurant with a ten ish minute walk to the caves. There’s an accessible car spot right at the gates to the cave area.

Great trip, on a hot day the caves were really cool and refreshing. We paid €11 for two of us. I would recommend taking something to eat as there’s nothing local that I can recommend and the cave has a few really great spots to sit and eat.

Brillant .had a great time going through these caves with the children .very interesting. A must visit place

Was a very nice connexion with the nature and to follow Up a ubique story that seems to be non existing in the european new world. Our history alway Will have a great sense if we inmerse deeply in It.

Fantastic aquarium,bought tickets online to safe the queue.Loved seals being fed ,one wee naughty one 😆. Well worth the money ,really enjoyed it. Perhaps a buggy park somewhere to save congestion when busy might help .

Fantastic aquarium- however we didn’t realise there was no parking at the actual a aquarium (because of where it is located) so don’t just put it into google maps without planning a car park first. The a aquarium itself was really well laid out and in two separate buildings. Some amazing fish and the jelly fish were spectacular. And my kids loved seeing the turtles and hammer head sharks. Also take time to appreciate the amazing art work and how it was created. Would throughly recommend.

Great museum with lots of fun jellyfish, octopus, seals, sharks and turtles as well as fun fish. Well curated, but a bit expensive at 46 eur for two adults and a kid.

It was a good aquarium with some very pretty jellyfish and seals. The other attractions were quite interesting too. Missing 1 star because they let too many people in at a time, we were crammed in like sardines.

The aquarium offers a decent variety of marine life, with the large shark tank being a highlight, providing an impressive view. I highly recommend a visit. However, the seal tank had noticeable algae growth, giving us a cloudy view. The seals are fed twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening, so I recommend timing your visit for one of the feedings to enhance your experience.

My kid is almost two and he love it! Is not huge is big enough to spend 2 hours on it and is walkable for kids. They have a lot of sharks and spaces to sit and enjoy the fishes. A snack space, seals, turtles and a beautiful view. It was not super full so you can enjoy it with the stroller with not a problem.

The only downside is that they do the seal feeding fully in French. I didn’t understand a single word. But my experience with the place was very positive. Really enjoyed the effort they put into this park. And the ticket price is worth it for sure; even it’s just to see the shark tanks, or hang out with Izar and Charlie.

Nice outcrop from the headland over a cool bridge. Was great the day we visited as it was after a storm so the seas were quite wild and waves crashing along the shore which made it more special. Not much to do there other than stroll out to it and admire the views. As your in Biarritz check it out and walk on from there through the streets to the port and palace beach

A very nice vantage point to see the miramar beach and plage de la Côte des Basque. Very nice views during sunset. Adventurous swimmer and divers often jump up from here to the sea.

A delightful place to reach with a short nice walk and to enjoy at sunset. Surely there are always tons of tourists, but still, the place is attractive and full of photo opportunities.

Great place. Must see in Biarritz. You can fee the power of the ocean. Picturesqe place for a romantic walk. Beautiful sunsets, great sunglight of the sunrise as well. Have a great walk!

Beautiful spot. Biarritz has blown me away with its location, scenery and blend with the sea

Amazing view of the beach and the sea, sometimes there was an artist who was selling the paintings for cheap, and there are paid telescopes. The waves sometimes are huge and can splash over the ledge, so be careful! Video from the Autumn.

Great place to view the coast of biarritz with many amenities nearby

Good Programm for when it rains. Certain things you can only do once, like VR surfing, … but its really interesting and you will definitely learn more about ocean life and surfing.

It was fairly free. 2hrs to 3 hrs for the visit. Great experience for someone who has not experienced scuba diving or surfing. Fascinating history of surfing and informative documentary with great interactive technology.

Brilliant experience, the kids loved it, a definite must do. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Not expensive for what you get. Approx three hours to get through everything.

Awful - spent 2.5 hours for 3 experiences, each 3 minutes long. Total waste of time. Far too many people there. VR experiences low quality.

Great fun,lots to do. Bit of a walk from aquarium if u buy combined tickets. Queue time was forever though,and boredom does kick in waiting ,but worth a visit and friendly staff 😊

On a rainy day, we made our first visit here to experience virtual surfing. An impressive collection of amazing boards showcasing the history of surfing!

An amazing hidden gem of a place!! Absolutely loved it! This place has it all! From immersive 4D experiences surfing and traveling under water with sharks to learning about the ancient Polynesian rituals of surfing, a stunning 40 min film on the Blue Whale 🐳 I left this place with a head full of ideas and feel like I’ve learned so much! Great for adults, families and elderly alike! Totally worth it. Bonus: if you purchase your ticket at the till you can couple it with a ticket to the aquarium to reduce your overall cost ;) + there are some really nice surf and beach spots nearby totally underrated by tourists! Enjoy!!

We got a great private tour in English at the end of the afternoon. Super interesting history and insight into the Basque country and some of its extraordinary culture and language. The caves are nice, but what was really exciting was the bats nest on the ceiling. Very active bats and a bunch of young ones hanging there and flapping their wings in anticipation of food. Never saw so many bats, wild, in one place. Great! There are multiple stories told and histories found. The museum is small and features a bit of all these stories. The souvenir shop is very nice and sells gems, they own a huge amethyst! Buy tickets in advance. Closed on Wednesdays. Absolutely worthwhile. There is a lot of parking place, but not too many for campervans. Public toilet for free. I am so happy that the guide, movie and all surroundings support the importance of Natura 2000! Keep this site clean and natural, as much as possible.

Incredible cave, gigantic, millions of years old, light show with a tour, bonus: dolmens and very small museum on site. That cave is so worth seeing, that's why you can't take pictures inside.

What a fab visit to these caves. We had the tour in French with English on our phones. But the young man who took us around was amazing. Very knowledgeable and took time to explain things to us.👍

It is a place full of history however during the visit this is not pointed out accordingly. In any case we had a good time, a little smaller than what we were expecting and taking pictures is not allowed inside the cave.

Informative site… the museum, grotto and park all added to the experience.We were provided with a brief outline in English as our group and guide were French speaking.

The cares are really nice. Take the guided tour, it's worth it.

Very interesting .deep down into the hillside by 900 meters .easy walking. And plenty of steps to take you up or down .fossils galore .Water worn passages .evidence of the stone age man living areas .well worth a visit .

I loved the size of the beach. Despite the crowds, it never felt overcrowded. If you enjoy proper swimming, you can swim long distances across the width of the beach. There are also several good restaurants within walking distance. Plus, there’s convenient access to public restrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful beach. Mostly always well kept. Even if you don't like sand is very nice to stroll along just about any time of day.

Fantastic city beach with safe swimming water. There is an arched promenade allowing for shade if needed with young children.

One cannot come to San. Sebastian and not come to the beach. For goodness sake, this is the paradise part of SS. Full of people but ALWAYS enough space for everyone. Amazing and a must come for the sunshine!

Very beautiful in picture beach in the centre of Saint Sebastian. I really love my visit to the spot. Lots of people enjoying the weather and the scenic view. Around the beach area, there is plenty to see, including tourist attractions and spots to enjoy refreshments and food.

As far as I can tell it is no less than the most beautiful city beach or bay in Europe. Of course you have to be lucky with the weather, as on hot days it feels like the whole city is digging through the sand. The huge dimensions only become clear on a walk or a drive up one of the two hills (Monte Igueldo or Urgull). It is a little unusual that there is so little catering right on the promenade.

Stunning city beach! Great moment for a nice walk at the beach a few meters only from the city center. Definitely a place to be in this city

For fabulous views of San Sebastián it’s well worth the climb to the top. Steep steps in places or more windy route available. Make sure you take water with you, there’s nowhere to drink at the top but there is a very good bar half way up and worth a stop.

If you take the view alone as a yardstick it cannot quite compete with its counterpart on the other side of the bay (Monte Igueldo), but Urgull can be explored in a relaxed and peaceful manner. Fortunately there is no cable car but there are some nice hiking trails, the small castle is well preserved and if you didn't already have the impression of looking at a miniature version of Rio, the statue of Christ confirms this effect.

Located in San Sebastián, Mount Urgull offers stunning views of the city and coastline, with paths for all fitness levels. The hike is filled with historical sites, with the most widely known as the statue of Christ. The greenery and vibrant gardens make it perfect for a stroll or picnic. Whether you're into hiking, history, or just enjoying nature, Mount Urgull is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

A nice walk up, with multiple spots to see the views but also some historical monuments and remains. Get yourself lost in this beautiful walk to the top and go to the castle-museum (free)!

Mount Urgull offers an amazing vantage point to get closer to the Jesus statue whilst connecting with nature and history. The walk up is quite steep but the view is worth it. Along the path are a dozen or so signposted pitstops offering a snapshot of this sight's historical relevance. At the top there's a castle with museum accessed by staggered entry times. There's two entry points to the park allowing walkers to create a psuedo loop.

Fascinating little hill and old battlementsl with a labyrinth of interconnected paths that lead you up to monument over looking the city. Its not overly taxing as the routes are not very steep and have been designed to suit a range of fitness levels. You need a ticket to get into view the monument and should be booked in advance(tickets are free). Its an awesome 2 hours well spent and offers spectacular view of the city promenade and bay area

After we lost in endless we vote san sebastian because its easy it was going well until we got jumped by a bunch of zombies when we was trying to lower the platform lucky the red eye fell of with the medic and we thought the rest of we was waiting for the boat and few cuirassiers spawned and killed me

I haven’t gone to an aquarium in forever— and this place makes me want to visit my local ones again. The sharks repeatedly swam over the tunnel they have here, allowing us the get a close up view of their fins,teeth,gills, and eyes! It was so cool. Definitely recommend visiting.

⸻ The Aquarium in San Sebastián is well worth a visit, especially if you’re with kids. The exhibits are informative and well laid out, with a mix of history and marine life. The highlight is the glass tunnel where fish and sharks swim around you, which keeps both children and adults impressed. It’s not a huge aquarium, but it’s well maintained and easy to walk through in about 1–2 hours. Ticket prices are fair for what you get, and the location by the harbor makes it convenient to include in a day of exploring the city.

The Aquarium and overall museum are out of this world. So informative and so much more than the Aquarium. A spectacular nautical museum. A must for young and old in San Sebastian.

Fantastic place, essentially the naval museum on the top two floors with model boats, history, etc. then natural marine wildlife, and down into two floors of aquarium. Very well done, very informative, and finishes with a pair of axolotl and a gift shop. Fantastic experience all around!

great aquarium from someone who loves sea animals, and a lot of history about fishing and ancient history it was great, although for me who is autistic I did get a bit overwhelmed by the people and had to put on music for myself. So if you have a child with any difficulties please prep beforehand

Loved the downstairs floor with the aquariums and wide variety of fish but not sure the upstairs navel history, guns and pirates works for me. €14 for an adult ticket.

Not big but interesting and educational, aquariums with many species of fish, few people enter the hall called the auditorium, not knowing that there is a huge aquarium with large fish, you can sit and watch them. I really liked the walk and it turned out to be educational.

Great spot to take a walk and take in the beautiful house line of the amazing san sebastian. Great pieces of art, the sculpture are impressive in the mid day sunshine.

Where land and open sea meet; celebrated by Land Art. (I would have appreciated some onsite background info of the artwork. I think it is a play of the city's initials /symbols as touched by the sea and weather.) Powerful photo opportunity.

Fantastic walk! I was in my element. Great to be alone or share the experience with your people.

Originally planned to come here for a quick visit and ended up staying a lot longer than intended as it was such a relaxing place to be. It was calming watching and listening to the waves crashing against the rocks here, plus there were some great views across the bay. This would be an ideal place to watch the sun go down on a warm summer's day and if I'm ever in San Sebastian again, I'll be sure to do just that.

The restaurant offers a delightful atmosphere with friendly staff and exceptional food. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. A wonderful dining experience that left me eager to return yes

Wonderful! An amazing ensemble of three iron plastics that resist the force of water and winds for so long. The ocean was calm and thankfully the fountain was not spewing water, but its angry voice could be heard. We visited early in the morning and there were hardly any people.

Fun Cold Pretty Lots of people Only walking No driving

Super nice view, that’s all as this s mostly a lil park for kids to run around. The funicular isn’t worth the >1 hour wait but I insisted as I thought I d be able to enjoy the ride, I was wrong. Overall attractions aren’t attractive, and the only hotel restaurant to avoid. There is though a lil bar on the side selling refreshments at half of the prices and queue, if needed rather go there. I mean, it’s a must go but you may be disappointed

Easy level trekking (more like walking), easier if you have car 😁. Loved the views. There is small entrance fee and also the other activities for which you have pay small amount but for one time experience I think it’s okay. It’s best place for kids, the park is full of games and stuff for kids.

Great views and trails but nothing much on the top itself. Enjoy the ride up stopping at the various points along the way.

Nice journey with the funicular to the top of the Igueldo Mountain where you can admire the spectacular view of San Sebastian and enjoy a meal or a coffee.

Monte gluedo its really amazing place

Breathtaking view! Entrance costs 2,50€ per person

Spectacular views of the beaches and San Sebastian.

Nice vantage point to see a beautiful scene, it was in game of thrones as well for people interested :)

Love this beach! Sea was clear and lovely, there is enough shade because of the rocks. There is a public toilette and showers and you need maybe 10 minutes from the bus station to reach it. A little bar on the edge has coffee, drinks and snacks.

Amazing beach. I hiked from here to Deba. Flysch are sedimentary rock formations of alternating layers of limestone and shale. The layers were formed horizontally but tectonic forces have tilted them over millions of years. The flysch are invaluable to geologists as they provide detailed records of Earth's history. The formations are found mostly in Europe but the ones in the Basque Country are distinguished by their exceptional preservation and accessibility. The name "flysch" originates from the German word "fließen," meaning "to flow", which was the process by which these layers were deposited through ancient underwater landslides and sediment flows.

Great beach with everything you need for an easy family time, great hike nearby and beautiful vantage point !

An amazing beach with unique geological formations that lets you see the individual layers of the adjacent cliffs. Not crowded at all when I visited in late March. A few surfers and some people with doggos. Fantastic views and landscapes.

This is one of my favorite beaches in Gipuzkoa. Parking is pretty easy, park around Amaia Plaza, pay at one of the machines, then walk a few blocks straight to the beach. There are bathrooms and a small restaurant. The beach is smaller than others but the sand is soft and there are plenty of people to watch as well as beautiful views to enjoy.

It's a lovely beach with nice hiking routes around. If you want to get here, it's better to park in the free parking called "Parking Zumaia" which is on the dock yard where the boats/ships are docked. It's a 15 mins walk from the parking spot to the beach. It's hard to drive up close to the beach as there are no public parking spots and most are one way streets.

Fantastic views and so very close to the town centre. Breathtaking! All for free.

If you happen to be in the area and don’t mind walking uphill (and back down again), it’s worth a visit for the views. Wouldn’t make a special trip to the town for it, but if you’re going to be nearby already, it was nice to see (spent more time walking up/down than actually being there though).

The church itself wasn’t open when we visited the views are amazing! Very windy up there though.

It was impressive, weather was good in morning with low tide. The flysch of Zumaia is a famous geologic formation in the Basque Country, Spain,

A simple little basilica located in a spectacular landscape atop a cliff overlooking the beach and the bay of biscayne.

Really worth to visit. But be careful it is not accessible by the car by any chance. It looks like that it is on the map. But in the real world it’s not.

Located on the Itzurun beach and on a cliff, the small hermitage of San Telmo is dedicated to the patron saint of sailors. Inside, there is a Rococo altar from the 18th century, made of wood without polychrome or gilding. There are images of Santiago and Santa Clara next to it. The first written records of this hermitage date back to 1540. In the 17th century it was the seat of the San Telmo brotherhood

😎 Next to fishing port~ shops and bars nearby. Closed when l was there. Looks beautiful 😎

Wonder architecture

(Translated by Google) The church of the Assumption is located very close to the fishing port, at one end of the old town. The town of Lekeitio still preserves to this day certain features of the old medieval city with some palaces and stately homes. The church is located in the fishing area, one of the most beautiful in Lekeitio. Its northern façade opens onto a large square where the town hall is also located, located in an old baroque stately palace from the 18th century. On the other side of the church you can see a short canvas of the old city walls, ordered to be built in the 14th century by King Alfonso XI of Castile. The church of Our Lady of the Assumption was built throughout the second half of the 15th century on the foundations of an old smaller 13th century Romanesque church, which was demolished. The original church is of late Gothic style although, throughout the 18th and 19th centuries it has undergone various reforms and modifications, adding baroque and neo-Gothic architectural elements, such as the bell tower or the ambulatory of the apse and the north portico that faces the square. The church is built with regular ashlar blocks of gray limestone. It has a basilica plan with three naves with a polygonal head in its central nave and is supported laterally by buttresses and five buttresses on each side crowned by pinnacles. Inside, the star-shaped ribbed vault supported by wide fasciculated columns stands out. On the outside, it is worth highlighting, especially, the magnificent main doorway, a Gothic masterpiece. In its lower part a flared door opens with two segmental arches and a mullion with the image of the Virgin and child under a canopy. The door is framed by simple archivolts, except for the outermost one made with twelve figures. These archivolts rest on narrow pilasters. In the center there is a tympanum decorated with a central figure that represents God surrounded by four angels. The set is framed by two side alfices with small allegorical figures of nature and a frieze at the top with an image in the center of a crucified Jesus surrounded by figures of saints. At the top another frieze represents paradise, portrayed by angels playing various instruments and a pointed window of Gothic tracery. All framed by a last pointed arch. Attached to the main doorway is a quadrangular tower crowned by an octagonal bell tower, a baroque construction from the 18th century. Inside the church you can see an important collection of works of sacred art, both sculptures and paintings. Although the most notable thing inside is the magnificent altarpiece of the main altar located in the apse. It is a Gothic altarpiece from the 16th century, with some reminiscence of Mudejar art, which represents scenes of the Virgin Mary. An altarpiece in polychrome wood covered with gold leaf that is, without a doubt, a true work of art and the jewel of this church. In a side chapel there is an altarpiece with the image of the Virgin of Antigua, a Romanesque carving from the 12th century, which according to legend was found by some fishermen who placed it away from the beach. However, the next day the image appeared on a tree, again next to the beach, so they decided to build a small hermitage by the sea dedicated to the Virgin. Admission to the church costs 2 euros/pax and it is open every day, both mornings and afternoons, varying the hours depending on the time of year. Next to this church is the Tourism office. The Church of the Assumption is declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. A true Gothic architectural gem that is worth visiting, although always respecting the worship of the parishioners. (Original) La iglesia de la Asunción se encuentra muy cerca del puerto pesquero, en un extremo de la antigua villa. El pueblo de Lekeitio aún conserva a día de hoy ciertos rasgos de la antigua ciudad medieval con algunos palacios y casas señoriales. La iglesia se encuentra en la zona marinera, una de las más bonitas de Lekeitio. Su fachada norte se abre frente a una amplia plaza en donde se ubica, también, el ayuntamiento, situado éste en un antiguo palacete señorial barroco del siglo XVIII. Al otro lado de la iglesia se puede ver un corto lienzo de las antiguas murallas de la ciudad, mandadas construir en el siglo XIV por el rey Alfonso XI de Castilla. La iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción fue construida a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XV sobre los cimientos de una antigua iglesia románica del siglo XIII más pequeña, que fue derruida. La iglesia original es de estilo gótico tardío aunque, a lo largo de los siglos XVIII y XIX ha sufrido diversas reformas y modificaciones, añadiendo elementos arquitectónicos barrocos y neogóticos, como la torre campanario o la girola del ábside y el pórtico norte que da a la plaza. La iglesia está construida con bloques de sillería regular de caliza gris. Tiene planta basilical de tres naves con una cabecera poligonal en su nave central y está sustentada lateralmente por arbotantes y cinco contrafuertes a cada lado coronados por pináculos. En el interior destaca la bóveda de crucería estrellada sustentada por anchas columnas fasciculadas. En el exterior cabe recalcar, especialmente, la magnífica portada principal, una obra maestra del gótico. En su parte inferior se abre una puerta abocinada con dos arcos escarzanos y un parteluz con la imagen de la Virgen y el niño bajo un dosel. La puerta está enmarcada por arquivoltas simples, a excepción de la más exterior realizada con doce figuras. Estas arquivoltas descansan sobre estrechas pilastras. En el centro se abre un tímpano decorado con una figura central que representa a Dios rodeado por cuatro ángeles. El conjunto está enmarcado por dos alfices laterales con pequeñas figuras alegóricas de la naturaleza y un friso en su parte superior con una imagen en el centro de Jesús crucificado rodeado de figuras de santos. En la parte superior otro friso representa el paraíso, retratado por ángeles tocando diversos instrumentos y una ventana apuntada de tracería gótica. Todo enmarcado por un último arco apuntado. Adosada a la portada principal hay una torre de planta cuadrangular coronada por un campanario octogonal, una construcción barroca del siglo XVIII. En el interior de la iglesia se puede ver una importante colección de obras de arte sacro, tanto esculturas como pinturas. Aunque lo más destacable del interior es el magnífico retablo del altar mayor situado en el ábside. Se trata de un retablo gótico del siglo XVI, con cierta reminiscencia del arte mudéjar, que representa escenas de la Virgen María. Un retablo en madera policromada recubierto con pan de oro que es, sin duda, una verdadera obra de arte y la joya de esta iglesia. En una capilla lateral se encuentra un retablo con la imagen de la Virgen de la Antigua, una talla románica del siglo XII, que según cuenta la leyenda fue encontrada por unos pescadores los cuales la pusieron a resguardo lejos de la playa. Sin embargo, al día siguiente la imagen apareció sobre un árbol, de nuevo junto a la playa, por lo que decidieron construir una pequeña ermita junto al mar bajo la advocación de la Virgen. La entrada a la iglesia cuesta 2 euros/pax y está abierto todos los días, tanto por las mañanas como por las tardes, variando el horario según la época del año. Junto a esta iglesia se encuentra la oficina de Turismo. La iglesia de la Asunción está declarada como Bien de Interés Cultural. Una verdadera joya arquitectónica del gótico que merece la pena visitar, aunque siempre respetando el culto de los feligreses.

(Translated by Google) Impressive, it is surprising to know that it has the third largest altarpiece in the country after the cathedrals of Seville and Toledo. (Original) Impresionante, sorprende saber que tiene el tercer retablo más grande del país después de las catedrales de Sevilla y Toledo.

(Translated by Google) I went to enter, but a very rude woman wouldn't let us in because they were in Mass. It's the Lord's house, and entry is prohibited. People kept coming in. As long as you go in and don't make any noise, what's the point? I've never been banned from a church. Am I a demon or something? (Original) Fui a entrar y una señora muy borde no nos dejó porque estaban en misa. La casa del señor y está prohibida la entrada. No hacía más que entrar gente. Mientras entre y no hagas ruido que más da... vergüenza nunca me han prohibido la entrada en una iglesia que soy un demonio o que?

(Translated by Google) The parish church of the Assumption of Santa María de Lekeitio is an example of late Gothic. The current temple, which was completed at the end of the 15th century, Later, it underwent a transformation in the 19th century with a new sacristy, an ambulatory and a large side porch, all in Gothic style. After this restoration, it was recognized as a basilica. (Original) La iglesia parroquial de la Asunción de Santa María de Lekeitio es un ejemplo del gótico tardío. El actual templo, que fue terminado a finales del siglo XV, Posteriormente, fue objeto de una transformación en el siglo XIX con una nueva sacristía, una girola y un gran pórtico lateral, todo de estilo gótico. Después de esta restauración, fue reconocida como basílica.

(Translated by Google) A beauty with a Gothic style that impresses, day or night its beauty captivates, with very good lighting at night that highlights the gargoyles and corners to view them from any angle, since both its exterior and interior are very well cared for. You can see its interior with a €2 ticket. (Original) Una belleza con estilo gótico que impresiona, de día o de noche su belleza cautiva, con muy buena iluminación en la noche que resalta las gárgolas y rincones para visualizarlos desde cualquier ángulo, ya que está muy cuidada tanto su exterior como su interior.

Through informative panels you learn about the bombing that happend in 1937 of which Picasso made his famous painting. The footage of victims who where interviewed at old age was very haunting.. panels in Basque and Spanish, but you get a very good paper guide in several other languages about what you read and see...

The Museo de la Paz de Guernica stands out as an impressively designed place of remembrance and reflection. Its didactically well-structured layout deserves particular praise: one level is devoted, with great historical depth, to the Spanish Civil War and the tragic events surrounding the bombing of Guernica in 1937. The exhibition succeeds not only in conveying the historical facts but also in evoking an emotional understanding of their impact. Another level shifts the focus to the meaning of peace in the contemporary world. Here, visitors are encouraged to reflect on current conflicts and on the role each individual can play in the pursuit of a more peaceful society. Overall, the Museo de la Paz de Guernica is an exceptionally educational and moving museum that skillfully intertwines history and the present. It invites not only learning but also introspection and moral reflection—a place where memory becomes responsibility.

Really wanted to visit this museum. Impressive story, especially the first hand stories of survivors. Only downside of the museum is that all language next to objects is either Basque or Spanish so Google Translate is your friend.

We had come to Gernika especially to see the museum and were disappointed that the information in English was so poor. It did not translate the displays which were in Basque and Spanish only. There was a nice 10 minute e”experience “ in English about the bombing. We did not stay long as it was all too difficult to interpret. If you do not speak Spanish give it a miss! Pity as we had so enjoyed the Peace museum in Caen

So pleased we visited this museum. The history of a much overlooked tragedy at the hands of Franco presented with first hand accounts of events. All this local information cleverly woven into a global history of peacemaking. I was given an English book to follow the exhibits and my husband used the QR code and headphones. It would have been good to have had all the exhibits presented in many languages but there were enough, along with the book/audio to follow the exhibits. Picasso's famous painting brought to life too. We left feeling hugely sad at what we had seen, especially with what is happening elsewhere in the world currently. The world needs more museums like this one.

Fantastic, thought-provoking museum. Would recommend a trip to Guernika for those visiting Bilbao/San Sebastian. Experience was very moving. Great temporary exhibition about the children who were evacuated elsewhere - well researched in collaboration with those who impacted and their descendants.

absolute must for anyone interested in historical topics - thoughtful ideas about the concept of „peace“, moving personal stories of witnesses of the first intentional flattening of a city through aerial bombardment hitting the civilians for no other reason than wanting to kill an „enemy“ - has anybody ever been held accountable?

The Maison des Juntes de Gernika is a remarkable place where history, culture, and tradition come together. Built in 1826 in an elegant neoclassical style, it has served both as a parliamentary seat and a symbolic heart of Basque identity. Inside, visitors can admire portraits of the Lords of Bizkaia, historic paintings, and an atmosphere that reflects centuries of local governance and pride. One of the highlights is the magnificent stained-glass ceiling, added in 1985, which depicts the Tree of Gernika, regional symbols, and important elements of Basque life. Just outside stands the famous Tree of Gernika itself, under which leaders once gathered to affirm the traditional laws of the land—a powerful reminder of unity and resilience. The building is beautifully maintained, free to visit, and offers a rich, immersive experience that leaves a lasting impression on anyone interested in history, architecture, or the unique spirit of the Basque Country.

This was a very beautiful place, especially the stained glass inside. It was interesting to learn a little about the Basque history as well. You should reserve a free entry online before going. We got lucky and there was space for us shortly after we arrived.

We live near Boise, ID and many people can trace their lineage to the Basque country. So we decided to visit and learn more about our ellow residents. The region spans mostly in Spain and a bit in France by the Pyrenees mountains. We loved visiting the area and especially Guernica where nobles came the be blessed as rulers under the oak tree.

An absolute must visit in Gernika to learn about the Basque history. Set in a beautiful place in the park. A masterpiece of the stained glass. Book online in advance as entry is limited!

For centuries, the municipality of Gernika has been the gathering place of the towns of Bizkaia . In the past, each church used to send its representative there to discuss the common problems of the Lordship of Bizkaia . Since the Middle Ages, these conferences were held next to the Arbola of Gernika and were called the General Assembly of Bizkaia . As time passed, several buildings were built around the Arbola in Gernika, and finally in 1828 the construction of the current Assembly Hall or Juntetxea began. 1876 _ were maintained until the year, in that year the laws that governed the way of life in Bizkaia , that is, the Charters, they were dismantled.

It's a beautiful historical place. The history, the paintings, and the murals are beautiful and fascinating. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in Guernica.

Beautiful and educational. Events/exhibitions are also held here sometimes. Meetings are still held in the meeting room once a month. Don’t forget to take pictures with the new and old tree of Gernika. As for the old tree, it is customary that visitors go around the tree clockwise.

Joined tour from get your guide on a sunny day. We arrived there in a small group with tour guide’s driving us. At the beginning the tour guide took us to a public toilet and there will be no toilet afterwards. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a jacket that you can take off while keep walking. Bring water. At the end of the walk, there will be a store selling water and simple food.

Spectacular. We’ve visited in beginning of October and it was still fairly crowded although not too crowded. Perhaps also as it was during the week and around 4PM In the afternoon. The walk from the nearest parking is relatively short. On the way back there’s a little elevation but nothing crazy. A massive restaurant and public restrooms available.

An incredibly suggestive place to visit, even if you are not a Game of Thrones fan. You must be fit though - the return uphill walk is tough. Remember to book a free ticket online well before your visit or you will not be allowed in. Entries are booked well in advance.

Get tickets ahead of time. They dont cost but you will need them to get in. If you find a site that claims to get you in for a few it is a scam. This place is highly worth the visit. The history, the Stations of the Cross walk up the steps, and the scenery is some of the best you'll find in the world. The climb back can be deceivingly difficult so pace yourself.

Sunset was definitely a good idea! Really nice place! But be ready for steep downhill cobblestone road you have to walk down and up!

Buy a ticket for entry in advance or go before they open. We arrived at 7am and parked in the top free lot and walked in. It was an hour there and back of you didn’t stop to take photos. We only ran into 4 people coming down the steps and we were there for sun rise but the clouds didn’t part to give us a show. Rain started as we were making our way to the car. Take a headlamp as it was pitch black when we began not wheelchair accessible. From their website “NOTES Wear comfortable clothing and footwear that are suitable for the path. Please note that the path is very steep. You should make sure you take water with you to cool down. This route is physically very demanding and it is therefore not recommended for people with health problems or who find it hard to walk, or people with children’s pushchairs. Due to the slopes and state of the ground, visiting the San Juan de Gaztelugatxe chapel is not recommended for people with certain types of physical disabilities. If you have one of those disabilities, we suggest you enjoy the view from the viewpoint on the Ermu route. Don’t forget to take sun cream with you in summer and on sunny days. There are no toilet facilities along the route, so it is recommended to use those available at either of the two entry points.

Pets are allowed on the route as long as they are kept on a leash. This is a protected natural environment, so it is essential to respect the rules of the protected area.”

Went on a tour from Get Your Guide ‘From Bilbao: Gaztelugatxe, Gernika, and Mundaka Guided Tour’ - would really recommend. Walk was tough in hot weather but really enjoyable. Definitely worth it!

The house red wine was good and the staff were friendly. However, the food left a lot to be desired. It was so salty and lacked flavour. Can pay by card or cash

Because no table was available I want to try the Pintxos for to-go. Waited to be served for five minutes. Then the waitress sent me to the other side of the counter, where I waited five minutes again. Then I left without any food. They are good at ignoring…

They are not service minded, they just let you wait on the table ignoring you. The waitress was also very rude, so if you want to be treated well please avoid this place.

Sooo many pintxo to choose from -so many vino tinto and not nearly enough time! Owner /bar was so helpful too. Easy to recommend this bar!

Awful attitude of the waiter outside. We had a very hostile welcome and were left to wait for a long time before we were able to get our drinks. Can't comment on the food - we asked if we could order food and the waiter walked away. At which point we decided it was time to leave. Avoid.

Food is genuinely awful. In a city with so much amazing food, do not waste a meal here! Come for a drink in a lovely setting if you must but the food quality is so poor at relatively expensive prices. For example patatas bravas arrives chunky chips and mayo, salted asparagus is cold, watery, mushy white asparagus out of a tin. The pintxos is old, crusty and very basic... They have a nice sounding menu but none of the dishes we wanted (such as velvet crab and grilled squid) were available. Other people around us were also disappointed. Just warning you!

Smaller selection of pintxos than others in the area and honestly what they had was just “OK”. Gave 3 stars instead of 2 due to location and the food wasn’t terrible. If this is the only table available in the plaza and you only want a seat and cold drink, maybe a snack you might be satisfied here. Also, there are many pictures in this review that I assume are from the place next door which I didn’t try but looked better than Urdina.

A lovely view of the river and great access to the ensanche district during the day. The design creates a beautiful curve and frames the city view. Rather beautiful. At night it is dangerous because cycling delivery riders speed across with no lights on and electric bikes make very little sound. 2 elderly people were injured by 2 of the 6 riders when we crossed. The riders did not stop.

Bilbao makes every effort to soften its industrial past with impressive architecture. This bridge serves not only as an eye-catching landmark but also as a symbol of the city’s step into modernity. Unconventional, striking, extravagant.

Visually striking bridge in a very useful location. Beautifully lit up at night

I loved the bridge. It has a beautiful form which give feeling of smoothness movement

We used our barik card to pay for the tram,cost €0.50 each way. What a beautiful view of Bilbao and lovely walks.

Very nice view from the bridge.

This bridge was originally constructed with a glass walkway, but since have covered the central Area with a soft grey material. At night however it is spectacular when it is lit up. Don't forget to indulge in one of the amazing ice cream which is available either side of the bridge. 🍦😋

Highlight of our cruise to Spain and Portugal was a visit to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The structure is iconic in itself, made of titanium sheets laid over a free-form pattern. The inner structure is just as amazing in design. Housed within, are notable creations of contemporary art. The large oil painting in black, with a small corner left natural, the work of Robert Motherwell. The labyrinth of huge steel sheets, coiled, eager to welcome curious visitors. I came away wondering, ‘what is art?’ Be sure to enlarge the paper cut-out collage. There are some worthy quotations to remember. A very reasonable 9 euros entrance fee. Great gift shop for a memento. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Absolutely loved the Guggenheim Bilbao! The architecture alone is breathtaking — you could spend an hour just walking around the building and taking in the curves, reflections, and the river views. Inside, the exhibitions are beautifully curated, modern, bold, and inspiring. Every room feels like a new experience; the whole visit felt smooth and welcoming. A must-see in Bilbao — worth every minute!

Iconic showcase of art in a spectacular building. For someone who is not a big fan of art museums, I found this place very interesting and amusing. Every single room had a unique feature and I didn’t get bored even after spending 1.5hrs in here. A must-see in Bilbao! You can buy ticket online. I got there with 10 groups waiting in front of me to buy tickets so I just quickly bought it online and skipped the long queue. Only takes 2-3 mins max

We visited Friday, September 5, 2025. The building is beautiful. Unique and bold. Really stands out. We spent about 90 minutes here on a Friday afternoon. Well worth it if you are in the area. I loved the large exhibits.

It’s world-famous for a reason! I am in no way well-versed in art but I really enjoyed all 3 floors of the museum. I appreciated the variety of media, artists, eras, and kind of art featured here. I think what made it more fun was how interactive some of them are, and some exhibitions were also larger than life. It featured both big and rising, international and local names in the industry which was a great way to highlight other people in the industry. I appreciated how organized the museum was as well. There was a Yayoi Kusama exhibition, which would normally take forever to see but they planned it very well. It was a really quick few seconds to see it but this made the line go faster and didn’t hold up anyone who wanted to see it. The featured artist at that time was also very talented and fun to see! Lots of interactive and dynamic art featured that changed the experience for the viewer every room we visited. We also didn’t buy tickets ahead and I really thought we missed our chance, but the museum allotted tickets for walk-in visitors. The line went so fast as well which we appreciated a lot. So it was a very pleasant experience!!

The exterior of the museum is phenomenal, truly worth seeing with your own eyes. However, the exhibitions are a hit or miss. Perhaps I had unreasonably high expectations, which ultimately led to my disappointment. I have visited contemporary art museums with better exhibitions in the past, that's all I'm saying!!! The entrance fee is not expensive in all means. 6 euros with a student ID. I stayed here for a bit more than one hour.

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is an architectural and cultural masterpiece that offers an immersive experience in contemporary art, both for its iconic structure and for the works on display. The Guggenheim in Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry, is considered one of the most revolutionary architectural works of the 20th century. Its titanium, glass and limestone structure, with curved and fluid shapes, almost looks like an urban sculpture. Visiting the museum is already an artistic experience in itself, even before entering. Inside, the museum houses a vast collection of modern and contemporary art, with works by artists such as Richard Serra, Anselm Kiefer, Cy Twombly, Mark Rothko, Louise Bourgeois and Yves Klein. Among the most famous installations is The Matter of Time by Serra, an immersive path through gigantic steel spirals B. Outside, two works have become symbols of the museum: • Puppy by Jeff Koons: a giant dog covered with fresh flowers. • Maman by Louise Bourgeois: a huge spider-shaped sculpture, powerful and disturbing. The Guggenheim is not just a museum, but a sensory and intellectual experience. It is a place where art dialogues with urban space, and where every corner invites reflection. As a visitor wrote: It's absolutely not true that it's only nice outside. The Guggenheim deserves as much on the outside as on the inside

An incredible space! The combination of culture, leisure, library and beautiful architecture is one of the things I love about Bilbao. We went to an incredible exhibition in the basement before checking out the rest of the building. I would highly recommend a trip here if you are visiting Bilbao for a few days!

It was a pleasant experience, the space it's huge and the exhibition was interesting ( but a little disturbing for me) All sugest blood and more blood...So I think that the Japanese artist was a little obsessed... Good thing , it was no tickets to pay 😉

Very unique experience. Space for artists and and people who love art. Many bars, cafes and butiques. You can also visit the terrace with beautiful views. I visited temporary exhibition My house is your house, which opened my eyes and showed me new views of many situations.

A beautiful space with a spectacular free art exhibition. Lots of free space for children to run around and for adults to explore especially during rainy days in Bilbao. There are restaurants and theatre, and a small shop selling art.

A cultural centre with beautiful artistic pilasters. Great view from the rooftop, and the architecture is wonderful (Philippe Starck)

Nice enough pool. Cold showers. Can be very busy. 7.50euro adult ticket at time of writing

A unique cultural space blending art and architecture. You’ll find exhibitions, a café, a restaurant, and even a gym with a swimming pool and rooftop solarium. A must go when in Bilbao!

Under renovation, the exhibition is limited, but it is free to enter. Apart from a whole section filled with inflated plastic which is unexplained and hazardous to elderly visitors, there are some interesting works and a few masterpieces. A good place to come on a rainy day. Not suitable for children or people who need accessible space. After renovation this will probably change and the experience will be better.

A gem in Bilbao. The Museum of Fine Arts offers a beautifully curated exposition—rich, balanced, and quietly captivating. The galleries flow like chapters in an art book, with works that invite you to pause, breathe, and really look. A refined, elegant space that celebrates art without overwhelming. A wonderful visit. P.s. was inspired to be a bit silly 🤭

In June 2025 the museum was undergoing substantial building work. As a result, only part of the collection was on display. But entry was free, instead of 7 Euros, during the building work. Part of the available display space was taken up with modern art consisting of enormous inflated balloons, each one occupying a whole room. From my point of view this was a waste of the limited available space. However the five rooms devoted to classical paintings, including El Greco and his contemporaries, were very interesting.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao is a nice, smaller museum. The collection wasn’t too impressive, and one installation spread across many rooms felt confusing. That said, the visit is pleasant and can be done in about an hour. Good option if you’re looking for something quieter than the Guggenheim.

Currently under renovation. There are two temporary exhibitions. It can be a quick visit. I've seen some of its collections when I was visiting other fine art museums in Spain, so I know it has potential.

Its under major renovation but still has a small area open for free, some great works by el greco and goya, also some interesting temporary audio visual exhibition linking flamenco with the geography and psychology of 9 inhabitants as they walk the streets of Sevilla.

Free, but the collection is limited. Still a very nice place to drop by, I liked the 16th century Bilbao, and the exhibition in the 1st floor!

Very interesting piece of architecture / engineering. Pretty iconic in Bilbao. We went on the hanging gondola, but you can get the lift up to the top and walk across. Apparently this was in the original design but wasn't added until much later

An interesting architecture bridge with a hanging gondola. If you have few hours to spare while in Bilbao. Recommend to take a train or metro to Portugalete and visit the site. Take the chance and go up the elevator and cross by foot on the top wooden platform, excelente views.

The bridge spans the estuary of the Ría de Bilbao where it meets the sea, in the province of Biscay (Basque Country), northern Spain. It connects the towns of Portugalete and Getxo. The Bizkaia Bridge is the world’s first metal-structure transporter bridge (also called a ferry-bridge), where a gondola (platform) carries vehicles and pedestrians across the river beneath a high span. Designed by engineer Alberto Palacio (with assistance from Ferdinand Arnodin) and inaugurated on 28 July 1893. It is considered a landmark of industrial-era iron architecture and engineering.

Crossing is very affordable at 0.55€ each, getting the lift to walk on the top is 10€ each. The views from the top are amazing, plus very high, with gaps in the wooden boards as you walk, can be a bit scary. Also when the hanging platform crosses its rocks the upper platform!

Visited while on a cruise 45 minute walk on flat ground that's nice to look around The bridge is fascinating, the gondola carrys foot passengers and 3 cars and the lift carrys about 6 people The views are stunning it's closed in so safe with kids If we go to Gexto we would do the bridge again

Really interesting piece of infrastructure if you’re into that thing. It’s only €0.55 to cross on the gondola, you can pay about €8 to walk across along the top but I couldn’t convince my friends to do it with me.

Impressive World Heritage site on the Nervión – Vizcaya Bridge During our stay in Bilbao, we took the city train from the city center (San Mamés) to Portugalete. After a smooth 20-minute ride and a short 5-minute walk, we arrived at the impressive Vizcaya Bridge. This unique construction – a UNESCO World Heritage site – stands 45 meters tall and connects both riverbanks via a suspended gondola. For less than one euro, you can buy a ticket on-site and cross the river in just a few moments – a short but fascinating experience! For a more spectacular view, you can take the lift to the top of the bridge. From there, you can walk across the upper platform and enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the river, the city, and the port area. Tickets for this experience cost €10 and are available at the small shop at the foot of the bridge. An impressive blend of engineering and history – definitely worth a visit! – Ivan
