When is the best time to go to Bilbao?
The best time to go to Bilbao is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the city is less crowded.

These shoulder seasons offer comfortable temperatures for exploring, typically ranging from the mid-50s to low 70s Fahrenheit (12-23°C). You'll find it easy to stroll along the Nervión River, enjoy outdoor dining, and visit attractions without the intense heat or larger crowds of summer. This is ideal for couples looking for a relaxed yet engaging trip, allowing for more intimate experiences at museums and restaurants.

Travelers who prefer a more relaxed pace will appreciate the fall, particularly September, when the summer visitors have departed but the weather remains mild. This period is great for enjoying the local cuisine and cultural events, as many festivals and art exhibitions take place during these months.
