How to use the pass
Review purchase, activation, and important usage details for Bilbao Bizkaia Card before you visit.

01

How it works

The rolling validity period begins with first use. Present the named physical card for covered transport, reserved tours and the benefits listed by the official tourism programme. At the two connected museums, obtain or hold the required museum ticket and use the card only for the priority-access arrangement; it should not be scanned or described as an included admission.

02

Purchase and activation

Buy through the official Bilbao Bizkaia tourism channel, select the required duration and collect the physical card before use. Check collection hours and any tour booking instructions in advance. First use should align with the start of the planned transport and tour schedule so the limited rolling period is used efficiently.

Important information

Museum admission is not included. The holder must still purchase or otherwise qualify for the relevant Guggenheim or Fine Arts Museum ticket, and priority access remains subject to the venue's operating procedures. The card is personal and non-transferable. Tours can require advance reservation, and the transport coverage should be checked against the exact journey rather than assumed to include every service in the wider region.
