What you can expect
Discover Bilbao at its most authentic and immerse yourself in an experience that combines art, history, and gastronomy on an exclusive Explora-Norte tour. This unique experience has been designed for those looking for more than just sightseeing, for those who want to feel the city through its most iconic symbols and its most elegant spirit.
You will start with a unique visit to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, one of the most recognised cultural icons in the world. Explore the magic of its exterior architecture, which combines innovative shapes and surprising materials, and step inside, where each work of art connects you with the creativity and vision of the artists who transformed the contemporary art scene. This visit is not the typical tourist route: it is a unique and exclusive tour, led by official guides who are local art and history experts, which allows you to discover hidden corners and perspectives of the museum, revealing the true essence of this Bilbao gem.
After this artistic immersion, you will be taken to the Carlton Hotel, an icon of luxury and elegance celebrating 100 years since its opening. You will discover its most iconic spaces, from its historic lounges to its most sophisticated architectural details, and you will hear the stories and anecdotes that have shaped a century of history. Every corner of the Carlton tells a storey that combines tradition, glamour, and the refinement of a hotel that has witnessed the evolution of Bilbao and its most illustrious guests.
The experience culminates with the same dinner that was served on the hotel's opening night a century ago, carefully recreated to bring that historic moment to life. In an intimate and exclusive setting, reserved for a select few diners, every dish, every flavour, and every detail will transport those present back to the elegance of 1926. It is a unique evening, where time seems to stand still and luxury, history, and emotion come together to create a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This experience is more than a tour: it is an immersion in the culture, history, and sophistication of Bilbao, an experience that connects contemporary art with century-old elegance, culminating in a culinary celebration that only a select few will have the privilege of enjoying. Every detail has been carefully crafted to make you feel like you are experiencing something exclusive, elegant, and truly memorable.
Dare to discover Bilbao in a way that few get to experience: Let art, history, and gastronomy come together to create memories that will stay with you forever. A unique, exclusive, and absolutely unforgettable experience celebrating 100 years of history and the essence of a city that inspires at every turn.
