The Seven Streets, all of Bilbao

By the name the Seven Streets (Zazpikaleak) we refer to the heart of the Old Town; the perfect place to discover the primitive urban layout of medieval Bilbao. Here there are straight and parallel streets, sprinkled with lively squares, traditional shops, and of course, countless bars and restaurants to taste pintxos and delicious dishes in an atmosphere that is truly unbeatable.

  • Arriaga Theater

    Arriaga Theater

    A jewel of the city's theatrical architecture, the elegant facade of the Arriaga Theater presides over the entrance to the Old Town, right in front of Petit Palace Arana, whose history is closely linked to the fire of 1914. To prevent the death of 4 people, the employees of Arana took all the mattresses from their rooms to the street, forging an inseparable bond with the memories of the city.

  • Ribera Market
