Casco Viejo , or also known as the Old Town of Bilbao, is a rather interesting area to explore, a place full of bars and restaurants, boutique shops, historic sites, colorful architecture, and winding narrow streets.

It’s also a spot for sightseeing, with some of the Old Town’s top sights include the churches of San Anton and San Nicolas, the Arriaga Theatre, the central market, the Plaza Nueva, the Archeological Museum, and the Catedral de Santiago de Bilbao. For travelers headed out in search of pintxos or a meal at night, Casco Viejo is a good place to go.
