Good to know
Bilbao is very bike-friendly, featuring an extensive network of separated bike lanes known as bidegorris along the river estuary. The central areas along the water are flat and easy to navigate, though surrounding neighborhoods feature steeper hills that require more effort.
The best time to cycle in Bilbao is from May through October when the weather is generally warm and dry. While summer offers pleasant temperatures compared to southern Spain, spring and early autumn provide comfortable riding conditions with fewer crowds.
Most bike tours follow the Nervión River, taking riders past the Guggenheim Museum, the Zubizuri footbridge, and the Euskalduna Palace. Tours also frequently visit the historic Casco Viejo, the Arriaga Theatre, and the vibrant Mercado de la Ribera.
A regular bike is perfectly suited for cruising along the flat riverside paths and exploring the historic center. However, an e-bike provides valuable pedal assist if your route includes elevated viewpoints like Artxanda or hilly surrounding districts.
Yes, Bilbao is ideal for families and beginners thanks to wide pedestrian areas and flat, well-marked riverside cycle tracks. Tours proceed at a relaxed pace with frequent stops, making cycling safe and accessible for riders of all skill levels.
