Experts' Choice Award Funicular de Artxanda
What the experts agree on
This funicular whisks you up a steep hillside in three minutes to deliver Bilbao's most spectacular panoramic views—the Guggenheim, river, and Basque mountains all unfold before you. Top it off with dinner at one of the traditional asadors.
“After the three-minute ride to the top, have a picnic in the park, dine in one of the area’s restaurants or simply enjoy the sweeping panoramas of the city.”
