Artxanda & Heights
Climb from the river to the top of Mount Artxanda for the best panoramic views of Bilbao. Cross Calatrava's white bridge, ride the historic funicular and explore the peaceful heights above the city.
- Puente Zubizuri — Begin at the Zubizuri, the striking white footbridge designed by Santiago Calatrava in 1997. Its curved glass walkway and soaring arch make it one of Bilbao's most photographed modern landmarks.
- Paseo de Campo Volantín — Stroll along the Paseo de Campo Volantín, the elegant riverside promenade on the right bank of the Nervión. Lined with handsome 19th-century houses, it leads you toward the foot of Mount Artxanda.
- Plaza del Funicular — Here at the lower station, the Funicular de Artxanda has been carrying passengers up the mountain for well over a century. Its bright red carriages climb a steep track to the summit in just a few minutes.
