If you are traveling by car, head towards Bilbao city center. Use the AP-68 or A-8 highways to reach Bilbao.

There are parking options available near the waterfront, but be aware that parking fees may apply, typically around €1-2 per hour.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take the metro to the 'Abando' station. From there, exit and walk towards the river. You can also take Bus Line 38 from the Abando area, which goes directly to the waterfront. Get off at the 'Guggenheim' stop and walk along the river promenade towards Muelle Evaristo Churruca. The walk is approximately 10-15 minutes and offers scenic views of the river.
