Euskadi is not only a destination for passengers who arrive by land and air, but also, increasingly, for those who arrive by sea.
The Port of Bilbao is a destination chosen by many of the cruise ships that sail through the Gulf of Biscay. The cruise terminal is located in the beautiful town of Getxo, next to a marina, a leisure area and a beach distinguished with the blue flag by the EU.
The centre of Bilbao is only 20 minutes away by road, there is a bus service that connects the terminal with the beach,the Bizkaia Bridge (World Heritage) and the city of Bilbao.
In the cruise terminal at the port there is a tourist office which offers information about the Basque Country.
