Mount Artxanda is a natural treasure and a privileged viewpoint that offers spectacular views of the city of Bilbao and its surroundings. It is located a few kilometres from the city centre and is a very popular destination for nature lovers and those looking to escape the bustle of the city.
When one reaches the top of the mountain, an impressive landscape unfolds. From here, one can look out over the expanse of Bilbao, with its tall buildings and iconic bridges and the majestic Nervión River that meanders through the city. The panoramic views are simply amazing, especially at sunset when the warm colours of the sky are reflected in the glass of the skyscrapers.
Mount Artxanda is also a perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities. Numerous paths wind through the bush, making this an ideal place for a relaxing walk or hike. Cycling lovers can challenge their skills on mountain routes, while the more adventurous can enjoy unique views from the sky while paragliding.
At the top is an emblematic funicular that connects the city with the summit. This centuries-old mode of transportation is an attraction in itself, offering visitors a scenic journey as they ascend to the top.
Once there, visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink in one of the restaurants and cafes with terraces that offer panoramic views.
It is an ideal place to enjoy moments of peace and tranquillity. The green areas and secluded corners offer spaces to relax, read a book or simply enjoy the natural beauty.
