Local Tips

  • Bizkaibus A3247 connects BIO to central Bilbao (Termibus / Plaza Moyúa) every 20 min in ~25 min.
  • Cabify operates in Bilbao at BIO; Uber's coverage is patchy compared to Madrid/Barcelona — Cabify or licensed Tele Taxi is more reliable.
  • Taxi from BIO to central Bilbao is metered — no flat rate; refuse 'tourist price' offers from the curb.
  • Surge spikes during Aste Nagusia / Semana Grande (mid-August) and Athletic Club home matches at San Mamés — pre-book if dates align.
  • Bilbao is on the Atlantic coast — wet, windy weather Oct-Mar can delay BIO arrivals and stretch road travel times; build a buffer.
