Zubizuri Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Also called the “Calatrava Bridge” after the architect who built it, it is an arched, white and slender structure that looks like a sailing ship ten meters high above the river mouth. Its glass surface has caused a lot of controversy, which is why today people step on a non-slip mat. It connects Uribarte with Campo Volantín and, despite the controversies that have always accompanied it, is one of the symbols of the city.

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Nervión River

Highlight • Monument

In the town of Basauri, at the confluence of the Nervión and Ibaizabal rivers, the Bilbao Estuary is born, the economic engine of the city of Bilbao throughout its history. This 23-kilometre-long estuary crosses Bilbao until it flows into the Cantabrian Sea, thus dividing the city into two very different parts.

Pedro Arrupe Pedestrian Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Designed by engineer José Antonio Fernández Ordóñez, the work was completed after his death by his son Lorenzo and opened in 2004. It is a very visual and impressive construction, resembling a large dragonfly, and is finished with a cladding of Lapacho wood, specially treated to prevent people from slipping on it. This modern pedestrian bridge, built between the Abandoibarra Walk and the Avenue of the Universities, next to the Deusto University, is dedicated to the priest Pedro Arrupe from Bilbao, a renewer of the Society of Jesus who died in Rome in 1991.

La Salve Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Puente de La Salve, is a striking architectural landmark in the vibrant city of Bilbao. This impressive structure spans the Nervión River and connects the bustling Abando district with the northern neighbourhoods of Matiko and Castaños. As a major artery in the city's transport network, La Salve is not only a bridge, but also a symbol of Bilbao's innovative spirit and architectural ingenuity.
