    At the InterNations Events, I didn't only enjoy dancing the night away at some great venues, but I also got to know some great friends.

What's Bilbao Like for Expats?

Bilbao is the largest city in the province of Biscay as well as the autonomous community of the Basque Country too. Bilbao is major hub for trade and transport in northern Spain — ever since its foundation in the 13th Century it has prospered from the export of iron from nearby quarries. Bilbao is an industrial city but still retains incredible gems of culture and history, including the innovative Guggenheim Museum as well as several local festivals throughout the year which are great fun for all involved. It’s a city on the up too — Bilbao has been awarded many awards for its transformation in recent years from heavy industrial city to a refined, cultural hub for northern Spain. Bilbao has a cooler and wetter climate than southern Spain, but the summers still average around 25 degrees Celsius and the winters are not too cold either. Get to know Bilbao quicker with InterNations — the world’s trusted expat community.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Porto or Montpellier, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

Connect With Other Expats in Bilbao

InterNations is unique to other social networks because it offers you the chance to connect with people offline, as well as on the screen. Of course, the platform enables you to securely communicate with other expats (our members are verified before joining), but the events organized every month in Bilbao by the Ambassadors and Consuls create an environment where you can meet new people from all over the world. Questions on moving abroad are always better answered by expats themselves. They’ll know what public transportation ticket you should get for your commute, as well as what to do if you get sick. Build your support network in Spain with InterNations and gain crucial advice from our expats in Bilbao.

    Thanks to InterNations, I found a good language school for expats to take intensive classes in Spanish and socialize a bit more.
