2 Best Sights in Bilbao and the Basque Country, Spain

On the western side of the bay, this promontory is a must-visit. You can walk, drive up, or take the funicular (around €4 round trip), with departures every 15 minutes. From the top, you get a bird's-eye view of San Sebastián's gardens, beaches, parks, wide tree-lined boulevards, and Belle Époque buildings. There's also a small amusement park. 

Take a five-minute spin on the Artxanda Funicular, the railway up to the top of Artxanda Mountain, for some of the best views over Bilbao. At the summit, there's a park, hotel, sports complex, and a couple of good asadores.
