Amazing structure and engineering - We arrived here on a cruise ship and walked over from the port to experience this iconic structure. For a Euro we were able to walk on to the Gondola. To the other side of the river and then return. It is an amazingly efficient operation. It is possible to take an elevator up to the top for splendid views.

Ask the prices before you go up so you don't get caught by surprise...to cross it normally it costs 0.50 cents...and walking along the p - The truth is that the experience is very good... perhaps it seemed a little expensive to me... but it's better not to get carried away. From there the visits are spectacular...

highly recommended - Getxo's Vizcaya suspension bridge was a real find. a UNESCO heritage site, it is the oldest transporter bridge in the world. the crossing lasts a minute and a half and is an experience not to be missed.

Fantastic! - Everything is a bit rustic, including the organization. Fantastic work with breathtaking views at the top of its 160 meters. The ferry transport is very original

A piece of France in the Basque country - A bit like the local Eiffel Tower, worth the detour for a walk along the Norbioi Inara with a panoramic view 50m from the ground. The children really enjoyed the walking tour at the top of the bridge.

Recognition point. - When landing at Bilboa airport we were able to take some beautiful pictures of the coastline near Getxo. The Vizcaya Bridge was clearly visible. A first landmark.
