Conferences & Congresses in Bilbao
Bilbao is totally equipped to host any congress or professional meeting and to amply satisfy every possible requirement. It has played a historic role as a conference city, and is today a venue for numerous meetings in all sectors of the economy. The evidence of this tradition is the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, which every year is hosts a number of important trade fairs. The Euskalduna Conference Hall and Auditorium is another key infrastructure in the city’s conference activity, and has over 100 meeting rooms and a total area of 10,000 m².
Art & Culture in Bilbao
The cultural activities in Bilbao are irresistible, with two of the best art galleries in Spain, six museums and contemporary art exhibitions. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao has become the cultural and tourism driving force of the Basque Country. This spectacular building has been designed by Frank O. Gehry and built in 1997. The Fine Arts Museum has a complete and priceless art gallery with three collections: old art (El Greco, Zurbarán, Goya or Van Dyck), contemporary art (Gauguin, Bacon or Tàpies) and Basque art (Regoyos, Zuloaga or Iturrino). The Basque Museum includes Basque prehistory and archaeology.
Sport in Bilbao
Sporting events are another attractive factor for visitors to Bilbao. Many top-class football and basketball matches, cycle races, rugby matches, sailing regattas and surfing competitions are held here throughout the year. And of course one cannot forget the traditional Basque sports which are really spectacular. These sports are closely related to the earlier daily work in the farmhouses, which over time developed into popular sports. So don’t be surprised if you come across an event where men and women lift giant rocks, carry weights, cut grass or compete in tug-of-war. However, the most popular sport among the Basques is pelota vasca, which is played in different modalities and whose venues can be found in every small village.
University city Bilbao
Bilbao also has two universities: the University of the Basque Country, which in spite of its youth, already enjoys a high level of academic achievement and research; and Deusto University, an institution which throughout this century has been the professional and intellectual alma mater to a considerable proportion of Spain’s political and business leaders.
Gastronomy of Bilbao
Gastronomy is an art in Bilbao. The city is home to many well-known restaurants offering everything from traditional dishes to avant-garde cuisine. Eating well is easy, almost a must. Outstanding basic products guarantee the quality of the dishes. Bilbao is the capital of cod or cod, which is prepared and served in a wide variety of variations.
Frequently asked questions
A DMC or Destination Management Company simply put is a travel agency. However, a DMC is the key piece when it comes to organizing your next corporate event or business trip. A DMC provides professional services for the planning and implementation of event programs. Thanks to its local anchoring, a DMC has an extensive knowledge of local suppliers, locations, etc. As such, it acts as an extension of your company and takes care of all sorts of things for you at a local level.
The extensive knowledge of the region, city or destination makes the DMC your expert on site. For example, a DMC is often able to give preferential rates based on its purchasing power and good relationship with local suppliers. As a local planner, a DMC knows perfectly well which suppliers offer the best service according to your budget. Moreover, it understands the cultural standards and expectations and also speaks the language. Its long-term contacts are the best tool against too expensive prices and unpleasant surprises. In addition, a DMC is by definition familiar with the city or region. They know the shortcuts and therefore work more efficiently than you would be able to.
A good DMC organizes your meeting or incentive from A to Z. They organize fun leisure activities, interesting excursions, rental of unique venues, selection of the best restaurants and hotels, arrange transfers, book meeting spaces, select guides and make a risk assessment and time frame. In short, they take care of all practical local worries. That will save you, as organizer of the event, incentive or other business travel, a lot of worries.
