This is simply amazing. We have been visiting the Basque Country for years and finally visited the Bizkaia Bridge and surrounding areas and have fallen in love. (Check out El Paladar by Zurine Garcia in the Gran Hotel Puente Colgante right next to the bridge. The food is simply amazing.) We not only rode over on the "ferry", but also paid the extra to ride the elevator up to the top and walked all the way across. It was pretty spectacular. (We also rode the small ferry that is right up stream because that gave us some additionally amazing views of the bridge.)

This bridge is a milestone of late 19th-century iron-and-steel engineering and urban transport innovation. The bridge is the world’s first metal transporter bridge, completed in 1893 and designed by Alberto de Palacio. Suspended beneath its upper steel truss, a moving gondola carries people and vehicles across the Nerbioi ibaia (Río Nervión)—an ingenious solution that has remained in continuous use for over a century. Visitors can also access the upper pedestrian walkway by elevator.

Visited while on a cruise 45 minute walk on flat ground that's nice to look around The bridge is fascinating, the gondola carrys foot passengers and 3 cars and the lift carrys about 6 people The views are stunning it's closed in so safe with kids If we go to Gexto we would do the bridge again
