Bilbao is served mainly by Bilbao Airport (BIO), the main international gateway to the Basque Country and one of the busiest airports in northern Spain.
Whether you are arriving from major European cities or with domestic flights from across Spain, the airport is easily accessible for anybody.
Bilbao is also well linked to the rest of Spain and its European neighbors by a network of fast, reliable trains and long-distance buses.
If you are flying to Bilbao, the best airport option is definitely the Bilbao Airport (BIO), which is the main international airport serving the city and is located about 12 km from the city center and is connected by regular bus services, with the Bizkaibus A3247 providing a direct trip to central Bilbao in around 20–30 minutes for approximately €3.
Alternatively, Vitoria-Gasteiz Airport (VIT), about 65 km away, and San Sebastián Airport (EAS), about 100 km away, can be used as well, but they mainly handle domestic flights and offer fewer connections, making them less practical for most travelers.
