The  Bizkaia Aretoa building is located in one of the most emblematic parts of Bilbao.

L-shaped, it opens out onto the estuary and the Guggenheim Museum, right in the centre of Avenida Abandoibarra, between the Padre Arrupe footbridge and the bridge known as the Puente de Deusto.

Nowadays, this building hosts all kind of social, cultural, academic and scientific events. Most of them are organized by the UPV/EHU, but there are also a few organized by external entities.  More details here.

​

It is situated next to the highest building in the city, the Iberdrola tower, so it is easy to find. Once you are in the building, you will see the indications to get to the conference room.
