A symbolic representation of Bilbao's industrial heritage, this conference and concert hall built in 1999 looks like huge rusting metal ship and it stands on the site of the old Euskalduna shipyards. It holds 2200 spectators and offers state-of-the-art facilities and services for performers and the viewing public. The acoustics are excellent as is the seating, so you're sure to enjoy any of the operas, ballets and concerts organized throughout the year. In addition, there are bars, cafes, restaurants, private dining rooms, panoramic terrace, a lake and a car-park for 500 vehicles. You'll find it between Euskalduna bridge and the Museo Guggenheim. Check their website for the current performance schedule.
