Artxanda Funicular
Ride the historic funicular above the city for sweeping views across Bilbao, the river and surrounding green Basque hills for a beautiful sunset.
About Artxanda Funicular
Basque Country
The historic Artxanda Funicular has been carrying passengers from central Bilbao up Mount Artxanda since 1915, climbing above the city in just three minutes. The journey itself is part of the experience, but the real reward is at the summit, where Bilbao unfolds below with the Nervión River winding through the city and the green Basque hills beyond.
It is a wonderfully easy way to experience a different side of Bilbao — less museum, more local life and landscape — and particularly atmospheric around sunset. The funicular operates frequently throughout the day, making this an easy independent addition to a Bilbao stay.
