Car Hire Biarritz Bab Airport

Land at the seaside town’s international airport (Biarritz Bab Airport) and it’s a quick five-minute drive to its bustling centre. All you need to do is pick up your car hired from the airport.

Make the most of this beachside hotspot and explore its long stretches of coastline. Grande Plage is the main beach here and attracts families and couples, while others are more suited to sports enthusiasts. As a major surfing destination, Biarritz’s beaches attract surfers from around the world keen to test out the waves. Plage de la Côte des Basques is the ultimate surfing spot, so rent a board and take some lessons while you’re here.

At sunset, climb to the top of the Phare de Biarritz – the city’s lighthouse constructed in 1834. From the top, admire sweeping views of the coastal town and Atlantic ocean beyond.

Basque food is a highlight of any trip to Biarritz and an evening at Chez Ospi (a neighbourhood bistro) is the perfect way to sample this cuisine. The crab ravioli is a particularly delicious choice.

San Sebastian

From Biarritz Bab Airport, drive southwest for 45 minutes and you’ll arrive at San Sebastian in the Basque country of Spain. This is the perfect place to enjoy both city and beach. A most stylish destination, San Sebastian boasts a wealth of designer boutiques lining the streets of the Old Town. After shopping, head to La Concha beach – a beautiful bay with changing rooms, lounge chairs and lifeguards on patrol.

Bilbao

Further west, drive for an hour and 40 minutes from Biarritz Bab Airport and you’ll arrive at the city of Bilbao. Home to Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum, the cultured city is an art lover’s paradise. The exterior of this incredibly strange structure is the perfect backdrop for holiday photos, but inside is a vast collection of artworks from the mid-20th century to the present day. For non-stop entertainment, be sure to visit the Alhondiga, a building complex featuring shops, restaurants, bars, and even a glass-floored swimming pool.
