Few buildings have changed a city as Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum Bilbao changed Bilbao. Since 1997 the titanium curves on the Nervión have drawn the world — a phenomenon studied as 'the Bilbao effect'. A private visit is part of the Costa Verde Express.

Around the museum

Outside stand Jeff Koons' flower-covered Puppy and Louise Bourgeois' spider Maman. Beyond lie the medieval Casco Viejo, the Ribera market, and the art of the pintxo with a glass of Txakoli.
