PORT OF BILBAO
CRUISE TERMINAL
NEW MARITIME
In order to improve services for cruise
passengers, the Bilbao Port
Authori-ty has built, at a cost of 1.9 million
euros, a new 1,400-square-metre
maritime station, which has been in
operation since early September. The
building has several distinct areas
including luggage check-in, luggage
collection, waiting room, services and
a tourist offi ce.
The three main building materials used
are aluminium, steel and glass, all of
which are recyclable and reusable.
They also perfectly set the building
wi-thin its surroundings, where the Port of
Bilbao cruise terminal is located next to
a marina and Ereaga Beach in Getxo.
WE ARE
CONSTANTLY
IMPROVING THE
QUALITY OF OUR
SERVICES
The Cruise Terminal is located only 15
kilometres from Bilbao in the town of
Ge-txo, one of the most important residential
areas in the north of Spain.
The Terminal lies next to magnifi cent
bea-ches and the Getxo Marina and provides
the visitor a wide tourist offer that
combi-nes tradition, nature, architecture, culture
and sport (golf) in addition to excellent
shopping facilities and gastronomy.
Bilbao is the heart of a great metropolis with over one million inhabitants. Since it was founded, more than 700 years ago, it has been the principal axis of the socio-economic development and the fundamental factor in the modernisation process of all its surroun-ding areas. In the last two decades, the city has undergone such a great transformation that nowadays it stands out on the internatio-nal stage as a key reference for art, modern architecture and urban regeneration proces-ses.
Its commercial, industrial and tourist tradition has consolidated a wide quality hotel offer with over 3000 rooms and 6000 hotel beds. Bilbao is a fi ne, friendly, cosmopolitan and plural capital city offering visitors many cultu-ral and artistic attractions, as well as a lively social life together with fi rst-class shopping facilities.
The town centre is only 20 minutes away from the International Airport. It offers direct fl ights to the main European capitals and numerous links to other important Spanish cities.
Thanks to its excellent communications, Bilbao is the ideal meeting point for connections with the nearby cities of San Sebastian, Vitoria, Burgos and Santander.
