Best Portugalete Tours & Trips
This town located at the mouth of the Estuary of Bilbao is one of the more attractive in the Bilbao metropolitan area. Portugalete, which despite its name is not near the Spanish border with Portugal, was once a rival of Bilbao in terms of importance and today is most known for the UNESCO World Heritage Site Vizcaya Bridge, a transport bridge where the car ferry is suspended from a frame by wires attached to wheels on tracks above the cabin.

Smooth and Fast Visa Process
I applied for my China visa through this service, and everything was super smooth. They helped with the forms, explained all the steps, and the fingerprint appointment in New York was easy to schedule. Highly recommend!

FAQs about Portugalete Tours
How do I get from Bilbao Airport to Portugalete quickly and affordably?
Take the Euskotren E3 line from nearby Aeropuerto station to Portugalete station – trains run every 30 minutes and the journey takes 15 minutes. A one-way ticket costs €1.50. Taxis cost €25–30 and take 12 minutes via the AP-8 motorway.
Is the Vizcaya Bridge (Puente Colgante) in Portugalete still operational for transport?
Yes - the Vizcaya Bridge, a UNESCO site, operates as a hanging transporter bridge. It runs daily from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM, carrying pedestrians and bicycles every 8 minutes. The fare is €1.30 one way. It connects Portugalete with Getxo across the Nervión River.
What’s the best time of year to visit Portugalete to avoid rain and crowds?
Visit between June and September for the driest weather. Portugalete’s maritime climate means frequent rain in winter and spring. Summer has mild temperatures (18-25°C) and hosts the Semana Grande festival in August, drawing crowds. For fewer people, go in early June or late September.

Yes - the Bilbao Bizkaia Card covers Euskotren, metro Line 2, and buses in Portugalete. Valid for 24, 48, or 72 hours, it offers unlimited travel and discounts at attractions like the Vizcaya Bridge. Buy it at Bilbao tourism offices or online before arrival.
