To the right of the bridge leading to the new city of Bilbao, you will find the church of San Nicolas. In the 14th century, there was already a church on this site, but in 1756 it had to be completely rebuilt. The baroque church was designed by architect Ignacio de Ibero and was dedicated to Saint Nicholas, patron saint of sailors. The showpiece of the octagonal interior is the beautifully carved altar.

The Parque de Doña Casilda is the most famous park in Bilbao. The park is also called parque Casilda Iturrizar, named after the benefactor who donated this park to Bilbao. The park was built between 1912 and 1920 in English romantic style and is an oasis of peace in the city. It is located near the Guggenheim Museum and the Maritime Museum on the Nervión River in the Indautxu district. It is a park to stroll through the 8.52 hectares via the many paths and along the decorative fountain or to watch the birds at the duck pond. Since 1940, the museum of fine arts, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, has also been located next to this park.

At nearly 9 metres tall, Maman is one of Bourgeois's most ambitious sculptures to feature the spider, a motif that first appeared in several of the artist's drawings in the 1940s and became central to her work in the 1990s. Intended as tributes to her mother, a weaver, Bourgeois's spiders are highly contradictory as symbols of motherhood. Both protector and predator—the spider's silk is used to make cocoons and bind prey—they embody both strength and vulnerability. Such ambiguities are powerfully depicted in the mammoth Maman , which soars menacingly on Gothic-arched legs that serve simultaneously as a cage and a protective lair for a sack of eggs precariously attached to her base. The spider inspires awe and fear, but her enormous size, improbably balanced on slender legs, conveys an almost poignant vulnerability.
