Enjoying the city doesn&#8217;t have to cost you an arm and a leg if you know where to go. On the contrary: the real Bilbao, the one you experience in the streets and neighbourhoods, is surprisingly affordable. In this <strong>guide to Bilbao on a Budget<\/strong>, I suggest <strong>12 things to do to get the most out of the city<\/strong>, from avant- garde art to the roar of San Mam\u00e9s stadium, spending very little (or even nothing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Museums that won&#8217;t break the bank<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bilbao breathes culture, but you don&#8217;t always have to pay a hefty entrance fee to enjoy it. You can consult this complete list of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sanmames.athletic-club.eus\/en\/blog\/museums-to-visit-in-bilbao\/\">museums to visit in Bilbao <\/a><\/strong>to plan your cultural route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class='swing'><strong>The Museum of Fine Arts<\/strong>: this is a real gem where Goya, El Greco and Francis Bacon await you. The best tip for your low-cost Bilbao route? On <strong>Wednesdays<\/strong>, <strong>admission is free<\/strong>. As a <strong>new feature<\/strong>, you can now also enjoy the museum for <strong>free after 6 pm<\/strong>, regardless of the day of the week. It&#8217;s the perfect time to lose yourself in its display rooms without worrying about your wallet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class='swing'><strong>The Guggenheim Museum<\/strong>: although general admission has its price, Gehry&#8217;s architecture is a spectacle that can be enjoyed for free from the outside. Admire Puppy and Maman the spider without spending a penny. If you decide to go inside, the <strong>Bono Artean<\/strong> pass allows you to visit the <strong>Fine Arts Museum<\/strong> and the <strong>Guggenheim<\/strong>, saving you a significant amount of money with this bonus package.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The historic heart: the Seven Streets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strolling through the Old Town<\/strong> is the best low-cost plan in Bilbao. This labyrinth of streets, founded in the 14th century, tells the story of the city at every corner. Don&#8217;t miss the <strong>Plaza Nueva<\/strong> (neoclassical and always bustling with life) or the stairs leading up to the <strong>Basilica of Bego\u00f1a<\/strong>. It&#8217;s free, it&#8217;s authentic, and it will give you the best photos of your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. San Mam\u00e9s: the heartbeat of the city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t say you&#8217;ve been<strong> here if you haven&#8217;t felt the soul of Athletic<\/strong>. If you can&#8217;t afford a match ticket, don&#8217;t worry. You can visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.athletic-club.eus\/athleticclub-museo\/events?utm_source=sanmames.athletic-club.eus\/blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=actualidad&amp;utm_content=bilbao-low-cost-12-cheap-plans\"><strong>Athletic\u00a0Club\u00a0Museum<\/strong><\/a> to understand why we are a unique club in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class='swing'><strong>Smart plan<\/strong>: book the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.athletic-club.eus\/athleticclub-museo\/events\/26552?sessionView=CALENDAR&amp;utm_source=sanmames.athletic-club.eus\/blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=actualidad&amp;utm_content=bilbao-low-cost-12-cheap-plans\">San Mam\u00e9s Tour with an audio guide<\/a><\/strong>. It&#8217;s cheaper than theguided tour and allows you to step out onto the pitch and see the changing rooms atyour own pace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. A green oasis in Do\u00f1a Casilda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the <strong>green lung of the city centre<\/strong>. It&#8217;s the ideal place to sit down with a book or let the children run around near the duck pond. <strong>Free concerts and events<\/strong> are often organised here, so keep an eye on the <strong>local calendar<\/strong> because there&#8217;s always something interesting going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. La Ribera Market: A feast for the eyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is free to enter <strong>Europe&#8217;s largest covered market<\/strong>. Strolling among its fresh fish stalls and soaking up the morning hustle and bustle is a 100% Bilbao experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class='swing'><strong>Eating on a budget<\/strong>: in the area around the market, \u201cpoteo\u201d (bar-hopping) is sacred. A glass of wine and a <strong>Gilda<\/strong> (our most popular pintxo) will cost you very little and make you feel like a local.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Picture-perfect views in Artxanda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take the <strong>Artxanda Funicular<\/strong>. For the price of a public transport ticket, you&#8217;ll have the whole of Bilbao at your feet. It&#8217;s the ideal place for a picnic with views of the skyline and the imposing\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sanmames.athletic-club.eus\/en\/blog\/san-mames-is-the-best-stadium-according-to-laliga-but-why\/\">San\u00a0Mam\u00e9s Stadium<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. The Nervion River estuary and the Naval History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk along the banks of the tidal Nervi\u00f3n River until you reach the <strong>Maritime Museum<\/strong>. Outside, you can admire the <strong>legendary Carola Crane<\/strong> without paying an entrance fee. It&#8217;s a walk that combines the nostalgia of the shipyards with modern architecture. If you like <strong>hiking<\/strong>, the <strong>Green Belt <\/strong>offers free routes with spectacular views of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. The Suspension Bridge: A World Heritage Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take the underground to <strong>Portugalete<\/strong>. The <strong>Vizcaya Bridge<\/strong> is a marvel from <strong>1893<\/strong> that is a must see. Crossing in its <strong>suspended gondola <\/strong>costs just a few cents and the views from the Getxo pier on the other side are amazing. A must in any budget guide and, without a doubt, one of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sanmames.athletic-club.eus\/en\/blog\/10-must-see-places-to-visit-in-bilbao\/\">top 10 places to see in Bilbao and its surroundings<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Street Art: a museum without walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bilbao has become more colourful in recent years. Neighbourhoods such as <strong>Bilbo Zaharra<\/strong> hide incredible murals by<strong> international artists<\/strong>. All you need is a map on your mobile phone and the desire to walk to discover these works of urban art completely <strong>free of charge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Azkuna Zentroa: much more than a building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>old Alh\u00f3ndiga i<\/strong>s a place that will leave you speechless. Its <strong>43 columns<\/strong>, all different, are a sight to behold. You can enter for free, visit its <strong>exhibitions<\/strong> or simply look up to see the glass bottom of its suspended swimming pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Coastal Getaway by Bizkaibus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fancy a trip to the sea? No need to hire a car. Take a <strong>Bizkaibus<\/strong> and, for very little money, you can head to <strong>Mundaka<\/strong> or <strong>Laga beach<\/strong>. It&#8217;s the perfect plan to feel the salt air of the Cantabrian Sea breeze and get away from the city at very low cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Pintxos: fine Dining in Miniature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t leave without<strong> exploring the bars <\/strong>in the<strong> Old Town<\/strong> or <strong>Calle Ledesma<\/strong>. Pintxos are the cheapest and most enjoyable way to try <a href=\"https:\/\/sanmames.athletic-club.eus\/en\/blog\/5-traditional-basque-dishes-you-must-definitely-tryin-bilbao\/\"><strong>typical Basque dishes<\/strong><\/a>. Look for bars where you see groups of lifelong Bilbao locals; that&#8217;s where the quality and price never disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for saving money like a local:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class='swing'><strong>La Barik card is your best friend<\/strong>: it&#8217;s the <strong>transport card<\/strong>. Use it on the underground, tram and bus to get almost half price on every journey.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class='swing'><strong>Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask<\/strong>: if you don&#8217;t know where to eat well and cheaply, <strong>ask anyBilbao local<\/strong>. We&#8217;ll be delighted to point you to the bar with the best set menu in the area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class='swing'><strong>Free events: <\/strong>check the City Council website. There are always music festivals, street theatre or craft markets with free admission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bilbao awaits you with open arms and plans for all budgets. And if you still have someenergy left, stop by the <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.athletic-club.eus\/es\/pages\/tiendas?utm_source=sanmames.athletic-club.eus\/blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=actualidad&amp;utm_content=bilbao-low-cost-12-cheap-plans\">official stadium store<\/a>; taking home a red-&amp;-white souvenir is the best way to end your trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people think that visiting a city as modern and famous as Bilbao requires a bulging wallet, but nothing could be further from the truth.
