Where to stay in Bilbao
Bolueta Street Market sits in the east of Bilbao, so staying somewhere with easy metro or tram access makes sense. Casco Viejo puts you in the heart of the old town with good transport links, and Hotel Carlton is a reliable central choice that keeps the whole city within easy reach.
If you want something closer to the Bolueta area itself, look at options along San Francisco, which is more affordable and connects well to the eastern neighbourhoods by public transport.
