Can anyone recommend be some good craft beer bars in Bilbao? Last time I was here - few years ago - Bar Singular was the best one. Anything new or better,

Gracias

Bilbao is beautiful. I take public transport everywhere and I saw this multiple times in the train station. What does it mean and what’s the significance?

In search of something to do, traveling alone and need a good night to be had, where can be suggested?

En busca de algo que hacer, viajando solo y necesito una buena noche, ¿dónde se puede sugerir?

Are there any areas around the city (anywhere) that would be good to kick a football? Doesn't need to have nets but ideally an open space with grass and free entry.

Does anyone know of rooms that could be rented to hold private language classes in Algorta? A group of five of us have found a teacher and now need a room in Algorta where we could hold the lessons twice weekly 11am-1pm. Not sure if any of the cultural associations or the library would allow this (the classes are just for castellano).

I'm going to be in Bilbao for one day soon, and I'd really like to swim in a lap swimming pool, as I am in the midst of intense swimming training and don't want to take time off when I'm there. Are there any lap swimming pools in town that offer daily passes?

Hello! I’m looking to get a keratin straightening treatment in Bilbao.. I am looking for a place that will take care of my hair and that will be of very good quality while also being affordable. There must me a hair salon that satisfies this. Help please 😭

Does anyone know why everyone has dachshunds in Bilbao? Is it a cultural thing, like in Germany? I love it and as a dachshund lover I need answers.

Buenas, tengo una new 2ds xl que se me cayó y rompió una bisagra (adjunto foto) quería saber si hay algún sitio para arreglarlo en Bilbao o alrededores y a ser posible a un precio razonable (funciona perfectamente).

Today I saw the communal services took out the speakers, looks like some event is going on ? Does anybody know what exactly ?

Hola a todos.

Estoy buscando gente de más de 50 años para formar parte de un grupo o cuadrilla por Bilbao con aficiones tales como la lectura, cocinar, el cine, el teatro y salir.

A quien le interese, que contacte conmigo por aquí.

Saludos.

Porque han cerrado las entradas a los subterráneos??

Soy nuevo en la ciudad, y he estado pensando en utilizar mi skate para movilizarme por Bilbao, así evito caminar mucho, es totalmente legal o esta prohibido?

I am getting married in Bilbao in August 2025. There are a lot of people coming from overseas to celebrate with us. We have a wedding venue already but we want to also have casual pre-wedding event where everyone can meet. Our plan (if possible) is for everyone to go a bar (we will either rent out the whole bar or a space in it)

If anyone has any recommendations for nice areas or bars where we could do this, please let me know

Thanks :)

Hola! Una amiga se tuvo que volver de apuro a nuestro país y me dejó todas sus cosas, entre ellas mucha ropa. Era lo que ella usaba hasta el momento de irse, así que está en perfecto estado.

Estaba pensando que sería bueno encontrar a alguien que esté juntando ropa para mandarle a la gente afectada por la dana en el sur, pero se me ocurre que a esta altura mucha de la gente que estaba organizando, ya ha ido. Saben de alguien? Y sino, de algún otro lugar en bilbao o alrededores donde pueda llevarla y que le llegue a alguien que lo necesite?

Gracias!

I’d like to first thank the people who helped me previously. I know have a place and will move end January. I’m curious what are your best tips for a student living there for 6 months. I’m outgoing but laid back, love music and gym.

Hello everyone! I will be traveling to Bilbao in two weeks with my +1 and I was wondering if you have some suggestions for me. I’ve tried to go on subreddits when planning my vacation before and it worked super well! So I’m gonna try that again

What we like: -contemporary art (any kind even small art shows) -local cuisine (don’t have any particular dietary restrictions or preferences) -jazz music -good wine

I wish you a very nice weekend! :)

Para estudiantes. Muchas gracias

Hola! Me gustaría conocer gente nueva en Bilbao y alrededores. Podríamos crear un grupo de WhatsApp/discord para quedar.

Hola!

We are visiting Bilbao from the 31st of December to the 4th of January for the Hilma af Klint exhibition. Just two art teachers from Portugal.

We will arrive at the airport at 22h15. Is it easy to get an uber at that time in new year's eve? If we can't get an uber to the residencia we have to spend the night at the airport...

There will be new year festivities in the city? Do you know of parties?

Is there any place to buy food on the 1st of January?

Thank you! Gracias!

Hello- I’m planning a move to Bilbao to attend school. Generally, accommodations are facilitated by the school, but since I’ll be bringing two small dogs, I’ll need to arrange for housing independently.

Does anyone have recommendations for inmobiliarias? Particularly, ones that have supported renters with pets and/or are students?

Hola, busco tiendas que vendan material para artistas profesionales (no aficionados ni niños). ¡Agradeceremos cualquier sugerencia!

Kaixo! Antes que nada gracias a todos por esta comunidad, hay mucha información muy útil en todos los posts y la gente parece ser muy amable.

Vengo a preguntar sobre mercados de pulgas / segunda mano. Me he mudado hace poco luego de vivir un tiempo en Berlín, donde es común que en los mercados de pulgas puedas alquilar un puesto por el día y vender lo que quieras. Tengo bastante ropa y algunas cosas más para vender y me gustaría saber si aquí también existen este tipo de lugares. Se que hay negocios que te toman las cosas y apps (uso mucho vinted!) pero dada la cantidad y variedad, seria más fácil si puedo poner una mesa en una feria.

Hace un tiempo, estando de visita, vi anuncios de una feria vintage, pero parecía ser un evento medio especial (si no recuerdo mal era en el BEC?).

Se agradece cualquier dato que tengan!

I'm going next week, from Germany. I'm a nervous flyer and a bit worried about turbulence. What's your experience with flights in and out of Bilbao?

¡Hola gente! He vuelto a Bilbao después de 14 años y no conozco gente para jugar DnD. Estoy buscando una comunidad/Discord/WhatsApp para buscar y organizar grupos de DnD ya que no conozco gente por aqui que juege. He preguntado en varias tiendas de TCG/Warhammer, pero ellos no tienen nada organizado.

I want to move with my husband and daughter to the EU. Spain has been highly recommended so we're exploring different options. We've been looking at Girona in the southeast and Bilbao in the North. We're leaning towards Bilbao because we don't do well in high humid heat. Plus it seems less expensive than Girona. I'm just wondering if the rainy, cloudy weather is difficult to live with. Keep in mind we are from Canada and have lived with Alberta and Southern Ontario winters our whole lives. Experiences and opinions would be much appreciated.

My partner and I are moving to Bilbao in spring 2025 and, as always, the biggest question is finding a place to rent. So I wanted to ask if there are any specifically queer-leaning neighborhoods in Bilbao.

Googling this has been useless since I'm neither interested in nightlife nor cruising lol and I also know that Bilbao is very chill about queerness in general. But I would still very much love to live in an area where there are statistically more people who are like me, with community spaces and queer infrastructure such as queer barbershops, etc. My partner and I are both visibly trans and queer. Most bigger cities have neighborhoods where queer people just somehow happen to congregate a bit, and that's what I'm looking for.

We also have two dogs so the greener the areas, the better. 😊
