Arriving in Bilbao
By plane
Bilbao airport [BIO] is located north of the city centre. A bus service links the airport with Bilbao Intermodal Station, including stops in the city centre. The service runs regularly throughout the day and takes approximately 20 minutes.
Other airports to be considered include:
Vitoria airport [VIT] (60 mins drive)
Santander airport [SDR] (80 mins drive)
San Sebastián airport [EAS] (90 mins drive)
Madrid airport [MAD] (four hour drive)
If arriving on a charter flight, it is likely that you will arrive at Vitoria airport. It is advisable not to check luggage in, and travel with only hand luggage.
It is also important to make sure to have both your departing and returning boarding pass downloaded and ready to ensure a smooth travel process.
By coach
Fans travelling on the Club’s official coaches to Bilbao will have received all information surrounding their journey direct from our coach provider, Big Green Coach.
Coaches will be departing Lee Valley Athletics Centre to San Mames at 4.15pm on Tuesday, 20 May. Coaches will stop on various occasions throughout the trip, dropping supporters near the Fan Meeting Point in Bilbao.
Coaches will depart post-match from the Fan Meeting Point for the return journey at 1am, with supporters asked to be ready to leave ahead of this to avoid unnecessary delays. Please note these timings are estimated and arrival/departure times may vary.
Park & Ride
Fans driving to Bilbao are advised to use the Metro Bilbao Park & Ride services, as opposed to driving into the city centre. Further information on this service is available here.
By train
Direct train services connect Bilbao and Madrid in around five hours. Fans should ensure to carefully look into train travel options, as this is expected to be extremely busy with many services now unavailable. Further information can be found here.
Fan Meeting Point
Address: 48012 Bilbao, Biscay, Spain
All fans are strongly advised to head to our dedicated Fan Meeting Point, which is in Ametzola. Whilst serving as an important location for fans to be able to access stadium safely, this will also be the best place to experience the pre-match build-up. Here, Paul Coyte will be hosting the countdown to kick-off with plenty of entertainment to enjoy – including live music, a DJ, special guest appearances and exclusive giveaways. Refreshment kiosks will also be selling food and drink throughout the day.
A 15-minute walk from the stadium, this meeting point will be open from 10am-6pm, with facilities including a bag deposit service, food and drink stands, phone charging facilities and toilets.
Getting to the stadium
Address: P.º Rafael Moreno “Pitxitxi”, s/n, Basurto-Zorroza, 48013 Bilbao, Biscay, Spain
Turnstiles will be open from three hours ahead of kick-off at 6pm. Supporters are advised to begin to make their way to the stadium as early as possible to avoid delays.
By public transport
Supporters should use Indautxu metro station on lines 1&2, which is a short walk away from the stadium. Please do not use the tram service, as this will bring you to the wrong side of the stadium.
By taxi
Due to the significant number of road closures in place on matchday, it is not advisable to travel to the game via taxi. Fans that must use this option, however, are advised to use the designated taxi drop-off/pick-up when booking, which is Pérez Galdós Kalea 53.
