Today should be a fun day as you get to know Bilbao. 

Things start on two wheels as you join a guided group cycling around the city in the company of your local guide. The cycling is easy and safe given the extensive network of dedicated cycle paths, plus it gives you the chance to get out to parts of the city most visitors never get to experience. Whether that's the San Mamés football stadium or the harbourside out at Getxo will depend on the day, the group and your guide, but you can expect to return your bikes after three hours understanding and appreciating your host city. 

Since you will most likely have worked up an appetite, we strongly suggest you try out the bistro at the Guggenheim Museum, their set menu lunch is a fantastic way to slow down after your city tour. 

After lunch, head into the museum itself. We include tickets so you don't have to stand in line - and to make sure they aren't sold out. The museum itself is dominated by large permanent installations rather than endless galleries of work so it's a wonderfully airy experience. They also tend to have very good temporary exhibitions, entrance to which is included in the main ticket. 

Once you have had your fill of art, it's probably time for you to head into the nearby commercial district to have a poke around the shops, or perhaps the bars of the old city hold more appeal. Either way, head back towards your hotel as the evening draws in as this is the best time of day for you to take the nearby funicular up to a wonderful viewpoint over the city.
