IN BILBAO WITH FAMILY AND CHILDREN

Bilbao fascinates with its old town, where you can stroll through the famous "Siete Calles". This city is ideal for families: you can explore it in a fun way with children along the Nervión River, paddling in kayaks, pedaling on water bikes or relaxing on a boat. Bilbao can also be visited by bicycle or on board the tourist buses, or from above thanks to the Artxanda Funicular. Among the attractions not to be missed is Puppy, a huge dog of over 12 meters covered in colorful flowers, which guards the famous Guggenheim Museum.

► In September, Bilbao is easily accessible from Italy with Vueling, thanks to 3 weekly flights from Milan Malpensa and 2 from Florence.
