Bilbao Airport Transfers, Taxis & Shuttles - Private Airport Transportation
Arrive happy with Bilbao rides & airport transfers
As the most important airport of the Basque Country and northern Spain, Bilbao Airport has everything you need to ensure a quick arrival at the Costa Vasca, and a smooth departure. The airport is celebrated for its original and striking modern design by Santiago Calatrava, resembling a dove and containing wide open bright spaces. The grand, expressive building was then improved further in 2011, when a refurbished, enclosed and air-conditioned arrivals hall entered into service. This all makes for an inviting welcome to the country as you step off the plane and make your way to be collected by one of the Bilbao Airport transfers services supplied by hoppa.
From here, you can make your way to the capital of the province of Biscay – Bilbao City – which is 12 kilometres away. Here, you will find a thriving municipality, brimming with nightlife and great sights to see. Whether you wish to climb Mount Artxanda and Pagasarri, tour around the famous Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, or enjoy the vibrant festivals and music scene, you’ll be glad to have taken the flight over.
