Arrival and repeat journeys
How the location behaves
Airport bus A3247 arrives every 15 minutes at Bilbao Intermodal coach terminal at San Mamés. Taxis from the airport cost between €27 and €30. Indautxu sits outside the strict pedestrian zones. A single €3 Barik card with €5 minimum top-up validates up to 10 passengers together and includes a 20% transfer discount.
- Indautxu and San Mamés metro stations link directly across the metropolitan area.

Read the hotel evidenceMethodology and sources
We selected official and open-data pages from live city searches, extracted them independently and assigned each to a single public row before writing. Route figures come from open routing and elevation data. Neighbourhood-specific modules use exact-span observations from the visible source register; unsupported room and street claims are suppressed.
Checked 6 September 2026. Unsupported sections are omitted, and hotel inventory does not determine whether this page can exist.
