I have to say, Bilbao is amazing, both for its people and the food. The cost here is affordable, and the people are very friendly. This is not a commercial city, so l recommend planning for three days and two nights if you want somewhere to chill for solo travel. Definitely recommend it!

I went to Bilbao this summer with my friends and it was a wonderful experience! I’d recommend you to go during the last week of august, because you will be able to enjoy the local festivity. I felt safe, especially in the more central neighborhoods.

In most areas Bilbao is super safe. I travel alone as a girl and Bilbao is safe both day and night. There is one neighbourhood that is a bit more unsafe though and that are the streets around San Francisco. So I wouldn’t go there alone, especially at night. If google maps takes you there, take another way.
Posted: September 1, 2025Bilbao is a really safe place. Maybe in the town are little places that's better to avoid at night, but nothing to important. You have to be a little bit careful maybe at night, but it's totally a safe place.

Posted: March 12, 2025If you have a local friend, there will be no problems. But, as we all know, it really depends where you go, try to be where the gruops of people are, don't go and discover mysterious streets. But overall, it is perfect.
