New flight to Budapest from Bilbao
Yesterday, Budapest Airport was happy to announce the arrival of the first Vueling flight from Bilbao, the largest city of Basque Country, an autonomous region of Spain. They wrote that from December to 1 January, a total of 6 flights will operate between Bilbao and Budapest, offering a chance to discover Basque culture and gastronomy.
Budapest Airport recommends all tourists visit the Guggenheim Museum, the old town, Casco Viejo and the famous pintxos bars in the Basque city. If you are in Bilbao, do not forget to tell your Basque friends about Lipót Hertzka, a Hungarian football trainer who trained Athletic Bilbao between 1926 and 1928.
“Bilbao is a true gem, where modern art meets historic architecture and a new culinary experience awaits around every corner”, Budapest Airport concludes.
