Guided Tour of the Artxanda Funicular in Bilbao

The Artxanda Funicular is one of Bilbao's (Bilbao) most distinctive forms of transport: a historic funicular that links the city centre with Mount Artxanda, from where a panoramic view of the city unfolds. The guided tour takes visitors through the history of this transport with a specialist guide, covering its evolution over the years and its place in the everyday life of Bilbao. The meeting point is the lower station, at Plaza del Funicular, and the tour lasts approximately an hour and a half. The activity is free with a funicular ticket and requires prior booking. There is a Spanish-language departure on the first Saturday of each month; groups in Basque can arrange a date and time on request. For those exploring Bilbao thoroughly, this tour combines urban history, transport heritage, and some of the best views the city has to offer.
