Transportation in Bilbao

# Getting Around Bilbao Bilbao offers a well-integrated public transportation network that makes exploring this Basque city straightforward for first-time visitors. The city's compact size means many attractions are walkable, but when you need transport, you'll find an efficient metro system (Bilbao Metro), tram network (Euskotren), and comprehensive bus services operated by Bilbobus. The metro is particularly useful for reaching outlying neighborhoods and connecting to the airport, while the tram runs along the river and serves key tourist areas including the Guggenheim Museum. **Airport Connection**: Bilbao Airport (BIO) connects to the city center primarily via the Bizkaibus A3247 airport bus service, which runs to Plaza Moyúa and Termibus station. The metro Line 1 also serves the airport with stations at both terminals, providing direct access to the city center and beyond. Check current schedules and prices through booking options, as service frequency varies throughout the day. **Visitor Tip**: Consider getting a Barik card (rechargeable transport card) if staying several days, as it works across metro, tram, and bus services. For current fares and real-time schedules, use the booking widgets available on this site to plan your specific journeys and compare transport options.
