    A beautiful church on top of the hill. If you choose to walk it takes about 25 minutes from Casco Viejo. The unique feature of this temple is that the Virgin is at the center of the altar and there are large beautiful paintings worth photographing

    Message for tourists.. You can't miss this visit to our Begoña's "Mum". You can find a souvenirs shop inside and can even make your own 50 cents coin with the virgin's imagen to take care of you.

    A church from the 1800s. An iconic location at the top of the hills. Public transport accessible.

    Most symbolic religious building in Bilbao. You can take a bus from downtown for EUR 1.35 to get to the bus stop nearest to the basilica and then walk a few meters uphill to get there. Its very peaceful inside.

    Fab spot but outside of the Basilica looked like it needed maintenance.

    The Basilica of Begoña in Bilbao, where Our Lady of Begoña is housed. The church dates back the 16th Century. The current basilica as it stands today has undergone construction in the 19th and 20th century.

    Gorgeous, historically significant basilica atop a hill in Bilbao!

  • 5/5 Claire T. 1 year ago on Google
    Historic and beautiful. Well worth the visit

  • 4/5 Maynard D. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an impressive Church to see. You can take the public transportation up there (bus number 30 is one of them) that goes up right in front of the church. Then walk down. There is no admission fee to enter the church, but there is usually someone begging for money at the entrance.

    It's a church, couldn't go in due to service

  • 5/5 Nick A. 2 years ago on Google
    Was open when we went, which is better than the other churches which charge an entry fee.

    An imposing Church perched on a hill overlooking the centre of Bilbao. It backs onto some beautiful gardens with fine views of the city and is located along the Camino de Norte pilgrim route.

  • 4/5 Gerard F. 1 year ago on Google
    Passed the church on our walk from Zamudio to Bilboa, the Camino pilgrim route. It was closed but lovely to sit and reflect in the square. Beware it's on a hill so plenty of steps to get here.

    Nice Basilica. Surrounded by not so nice blocks of flats.

👍👍 The Artxanda Viewpoint is a somewhat hidden gem in Bilbao that offers spectacular views of the city and its surrounding area. On a sunny day, it won't disappoint and is worth the trip! I would highly recommend checking it out. Enjoy yourself!! :)
