Things to see and do with kids in Bilbao
Bilbao Kids Attractions
A trip to the culturally prolific city of Bilbao may not be the
most exciting destination to take the family, but upon closer

hold the attention of young minds.
Take the kids to the city's top attraction, the Guggenheim museum,
where entry is free for kids under 12 and they will be awed or

artwork may not appeal to very young visitors, but if cleverly

inside - maybe even a Picasso!
Take the kids on a ride up the Artxanda Funicular to the top of
Artxanda Mountain, where the little ones can let of some steam in
the park, enjoy the sports complex or simply be swept away by the
incredible views over the city. Pack a picnic, some sunscreen and
plenty of delicious treats and head off the to the Doña
Casilda Iturrizar park where children can feed the resident ducks
in the pond, take a stroll over the architecturally interesting
Zubizuri bridge, or if you're there during July, watch the annual
Running of the Bulls festival in safety high above the bustling
streets.
