What people say

Aviva Klein
"There is no introduction needed for this museum. From a structural perspective, it is as gorgeous on the inside as it is from the outside starting with the Jeff Koons towering dog covered in flowers at the front entrance. We were dazzled by a temporary exhibit and the permanent pop art collection. We had high hopes for this and the "guggi" more than delivered. Building designed by Frank Gehry. Be sure to go behind the building to check out the giant spider entitled "Maman". There is also a nice park as well to stop for a glass of Txacoli (the local white wine here). "

"Museum represents an architectural landmark of audacious configuration and innovating design, providing a seductive backdrop for the art exhibited in it."

Mentioned in these guides

While this is still a largely undiscovered part of the world by most foreigners, it's widely known as a culinary mecca for everyone with an interest in food and food culture. Basque cuisine is renowned worldwide for being some of the most visionary and avant-garde in the industry, and food as a whole is an extremely important part of Basque culture. There's so much more to do in the Basque Country than just enjoying the food though! The entire region is truly a gift to the planet in terms of natural beauty, being nestled between mountains and the sea. Basques have been fishers and mountain climbers, sailing the seas and scaling mountains, while also developing some of the strongest industry in Southern Europe. Here's a guide to some of the absolutely crucial visits you *must* make while you're in the area, whether you're based in Bilbao or San Sebastián (referred to as "Donosti" by Basques, a shortened form of its Basque name Donostia), though I prefer Bilbao because I'm biased. 😜 This guide encompasses everything from landmarks to towns and even a few restaurants, perfect for when you're considering whether to check out this beautiful and charming region. I focus on the Spanish Basque Country as it's what I'm most familiar with, but recommendations for the French Basque Country (known as the "Iparralde" or "north country" in Basque) will come soon!
