From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 7.
The Museum's central atrium acts as a hub for visitors, with three floors of galleries branching off from it. Catwalks, glass elevators, and stairs link these galleries, creating multiple viewing angles of the exhibitions. In total, there are 20 exhibition galleries. This design, with the atrium and catwalks as connecting elements, makes navigation within the museum straightforward, despite the building's complex exterior. Beyond the exhibition spaces, the museum also offers a 300-seat auditorium, two restaurants, a café, and a shop/bookstore.

Absolutely amazing place, and so much to see and interact with! Plan to spend the day and pace yourself. Be warned, though. I pre-booked my ticket with Viator, but the activity provider was Paris River Cruises. IT'S A SCAM! When I turned up as instructed and showed mi 'ticket', no booking could be found. The person on the desk asked who did I book it with. I didn't even finish saying 'Viator' before she told me it was a scam. I paid the €18 and had a great experience despite the setback.
I am slightly shocked that I had to pay more through you. Next time I will stand in line and not buy online anymore. There were not many people at the ticket counter.
Excellent experience worth the time and effort to get there. Need to allow a couple of hours at least to experience the entire museum
Incredible museum. Works of art highlighted, clearly explained. Spacious rooms. Pleasant staff. Map given at the entrance is useless because the route is well marked: fluid and easy movement. Presentations and explanations for each room in French (Spanish and English). The audio guide wasn't very useful to me because the museum's explanations and Wikipedia were enough. Because of this, I find the price high for a complete and attentive 3-hour visit.

We needed 3 more weeks to explore & enjoy everything. Ruth Asawa & Richard Serra exhibitions were incredible

At the entrance, it turned out that the code sent was not for the admission tickets. It was also not possible to download the tickets. I had to buy new tickets at the museum; this went without any problems.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is peobably best known for its dwsign by Frank Gehry than by its collection. The collection is neither bad nor good - most visitors will have seen these same artists represented at other world museums (this collection boasts a large Koons plus the mammoth constructions by Richard Serra, however). It struck me how relatively few pieces were on exhibit, although special exhibits (Asawa, Johns) took up much of the room. If you like post WWII art, you'd enjoy the collection.

My ticket was not accepted. Never booking with you again.! Had to buy another ticket. Shame on you..
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience caused and we understand your disappointment. We take customer feedback very seriously and we will make sure to ensure that such issues are addressed in the future.
Kept the entry ticket on my phone and it was good for a half hour after our appointed time, barely made it. Just scanned by the employee at the entrance and was perfect. So happy it worked so easily.
