The Rio Nervion flows from the capital city of Bizkaia to the Cantabrian Sea, traveling a distance of 23 kilometers through an area of major commercial and industrial activity.

This river has played a significant role in the city’s transformation throughout history, and the bridges that cross the Rio Nervión have been important catalysts for the dramatic change of Bilbao. The river, which was an important part of maritime traffic, divides the city into two halves, which are connected by ten bridges. Following the Rio Nervion allows sightseeing fans of architecture or bridges to see all of them.
