We Skipped the Cruise Excursions in Bilbao, Spain…
Royal Caribbean Liberty if the Seas port day! Today we’re skipping the overpriced cruise excursions in Bilbao, Spain, to explore the city completely on our own on foot and local transit! From the shuttle drop-off right below the iconic Guggenheim Museum and the mist fountains to taking the historic Artxanda Funicular for the best panoramic overlook of the city valley, Bilbao is one of the easiest and most rewarding DIY cruise ports in Northern Spain. We wrap up our self-guided walking tour in Casco Viejo (Old Town), pulling up a stool at the legendary Víctor Montes under the arches of Plaza Nueva for cold local wine and an incredible counter spread of Basque pintxos. ⚓ IN THIS VIDEO: 0:22 - Skipping the Excursions in Bilbao 0:59 - Guggenheim Museum & Maman Spider 1:20 - Artxanda Funicular & Mountain Skyline Overlook 2:17 - Casco Viejo & Legendary Pintxos at Víctor Montes 3:14 - Riverside Walk & Returning to the Ship 🚢 ABOUT OUR CHANNEL: Welcome to Oh Ship, Cruise Mode!
