What are some safety tips I should know?

There is some political unrest in the city and even though this is not dangerous as such please be careful when talking to locals. The Basque Terrorist Group ETA is not a risk to visitors but it’s best to avoid speaking about Spanish politics whilst visiting to Bilbao to eliminate the risk of offending anyone.

Try to avoid unlit areas at night as this is when crime can occur.

Only use registered taxis and always use the designated taxi ranks.
