Remodelled bungalows are a popular for many reasons, including the fact that they tend to be easier to come across than virgin plots — plus the planning process can be simpler.

Bungalows built from the 1910s right up until the 1970s are often built on generous plots and have large footprints.

Whilst bungalows built during these 50 years might not be shining examples of cutting-edge design – in fact they are very often rather unattractive – their potential is undeniable.

The fact that they hold little in the way of architectural merit is a good thing as planning committees are often more than happy to see them updated and improved, paving the way for some fantastic contemporary design.

We’ve selected some of the most inspirational single-storey remodels to give you some ideas.

1. Contemporary Remodelled Bungalow

Before:

After: In terms of remodelled bungalows, this property in West Sussex is one of the best we’ve seen. It was designed by CDMS Architects to make the most of the stunning views it enjoys from the rear, where the plot slopes away. 

(Image credit: Richard Chivers c/o CDMS Architects)

The existing garages to the front of the house made for an uninviting façade, as well as restricting vehicular access. These were demolished in order for a new single-storey timber frame extension to be erected in its place. 

The extension was designed to create a new, somewhat grander entrance to the house as well as providing new guest accommodation. 

The windows to the front have partially hidden behind a screen of vertical oak louvres in order provide an element of privacy without blocking light. They also soften the design and connect it with the landscape beyond.

2. Oak-clad Remodelled Bungalow and Extension

Before:

After: A dilapidated 1970s property on a wooded site in Berkshire has been transformed into a contemporary family home.

The existing bungalow was retained, but with a significant internal remodel, whilst an extension and warm oak cladding now provides a first floor.

3. 1930s Remodelled Bungalow 

Before:

After: The overhaul of this 1930s property has seen it extended and remodelled for just £110,000.

(Image credit: David Burton)

When the high costs of removing soil from the awkward site, along with the nearby existence of underground mines, ruled out adding a second storey, the owner decided to extend the bungalow outwards in two directions, creating a flat-roofed wraparound extension.

4. Striking Contemporary Remodelled Bungalow 

Before:

After: Built in 1916, this remodelled bungalow has been extended to the side and rear, whilst retaining a large number of the existing exterior walls. 

(Image credit: Jeremy Phillips)

Its two strong monopitch roof sections give the house striking angular shapes, whilst the combination of steel, stone and glazing make it hard to fathom that that hidden away inside is a 1916 bungalow.

5. Remodelled Bungalow with Sea Views

Before: Located in a picturesque spot in Dorset, this 1990s property needed some ingenious design features in order to maintain privacy and make the most of the stunning views. 

(Image credit: Sarah Cartwright & Paul Soanes)

After: This remodelled bungalow is all about maximising the stunning coastal views offered by its heavily sloping site.

(Image credit: Nigel Rigden)

The house is entered on the first floor via a ‘bridge’, whilst the entire rear wall of the property has been removed and replaced with glazed sliding doors which open up the living space and kitchen to the new raised deck.

6. 1970s Remodelled Bungalow with Modernist Inspiration

Before:

(Image credit: Trevor & Sandra Collins)

After: A run-of-the-mill 1970s bungalow in Surrey has been transformed into a Modernist-inspired home — almost doubling its value.

(Image credit: Darren Chung)

Impressively, the owners spent just £165,000 on the project. The centre of the roof was raised by 300mm, allowing for two rooms and an en suite upstairs without changing the appearance of the house from the street.

7. From 1950s Eyesore to Cutting Edge Contemporary Home

Before:

(Image credit: Stuart and Elmarie Ward)

After: In the area of Dorset where this house is located, 1950s bungalows on generous plots are not uncommon, yet the treatment that this particular bungalow has been given is certainly striking.

(Image credit: Alistair Nicholls)

Twin gables to the front and rear of the property feature large expanses of glazing to ensure full-height views of the surrounding area. At the rear, the bungalow’s footprint was extended by 3m, and steel frames have allowed a largely open plan layout to be created.

The project came in at £195,000.

8. Accessible Remodelled Bungalow with Eco Credentials

Before:

(Image credit: Transform Architects)

After: This stunning accessible home in West Yorkshire, designed by Transform Architects , is a fabulous example of just how much potential remodelled bungalows can offer.   

(Image credit: Transform Architects)

Gone is the unattractive brick facade and small windows, replaced with crisp render and aluminium windows and door. 

Eco and accessible features include: 

• rainwater harvesting tanks
• a ground source heat pump
• underfloor heating
• natural comfort cooling
• its own organic food crop
• reed beds
• log burning stove
• waste water recycling
• over insulated fabric to retain the heat
• a heat recovery system
• above standard insulation
• automated door openers
• hoists in the master bedroom and en suite
• an eco-building management system
• cat 5 cables fed into each room 
• and open plan living.

9. Dormer Bungalow Remodel 

Before: 

(Image credit: Vernam)

After: This remodelled bungalow started life as an unattractive 1970s home, complete with waney-edged timber cladding, dull yellow bricks and coloured bathroom suites.

(Image credit: Jeremy Phillips)

The owners have completely reimagined the building, re-cladding the front with stained vertical timber cladding and new bricks. They also increased its size with a striking heavily glazed extension to the rear — allowing the internal spaces to flow better as well as flooding them with natural light. 

10. Stunning Remodelled Bungalow with Timber Frame Extension

Before:

(Image credit: Owner)

After: The original 1950s bungalow that once stood on this sloping site has been retained and ‘extended’ upwards with a lightweight timber frame. 

(Image credit: Simon Maxwell)

A steel ‘skyframe’ offers the feeling of enclosure to the first floor patio area — two adjustable steel fixings will hold shading parasols. The existing bungalow windows have also been kept (the owner intends to paint them to match the new grey frames upstairs) while an external wall insulation system has been added to improve its efficiency.

A masterclass in “don’t move, improve”

Michael Ong Design

Bungalows are often associated with old-fashioned decor, awkward layouts and a serious lack of style but more and more architects and home renovators are turning these single-storey dwellings into real estate dreams! From a rustic metal farmhouse in Texas to an uninspiring weatherboard home in Melbourne, these basic bungalows have been transformed (almost) beyond recognition.

Mid-century modern makeover, Texas, USA

Murray Legge Architecture / Whit Preston

Austin, Texas, is home to its fair share of mid-century modern bungalows, which makes them attractively affordable if not outright desirable.  This dreary pad dates back to the 1950s and suffered from an unappealing exterior, dingy rooms and low ceilings that made the interior feel cramped and oppressive. Despite needing a lot of TLC, the building offered plenty of redesign potential…

Mid-century modern makeover, Texas, USA

Murray Legge Architecture / Whit Preston

Completed in 2015, the once-unremarkable house is now anything but! Crafted by designers Murray Legge and Travis Avery, the area’s local architectural character has been retained while bringing the dated bungalow right into the 21st century. A simple vertical extension has transformed the front exterior and a new grey colour scheme means the abode now offers a lot more kerb appeal but it’s the interior that’s had the biggest transformation…

Owned by an editor and her filmmaker husband, the cool and contemporary dwelling now blends the best of old and new. Murray Legge Architecture removed the small rooms that lay slapdash inside the home and raised the ceiling height, to create a single communal living zone with bags of character.

Following the refurbishment, the home now offers 1,400 square feet of space, with custom celestial windows allowing light to fill every room. Bright and modern, the house also offers a cool retro quality, thanks to its mid-century furnishings. The designers also retained the home’s traditional stick frame construction, accentuating the Douglas Fir timber beams in the main living space, to create a simple yet beautiful focal feature.

Zuster House, Sydney, Australia

Bijl Architecture

Positioned in the Kirribilli district of Sydney, Australia, this quaint attached bungalow wasn’t exactly an eyesore but local design studio, Bijl Architecture were called in to make some desired changes and add space.  Designed to reflect its residents’ distinctive habits and needs, the refurbished house has to be seen to be believed…

Zuster House, Sydney, Australia

Bijl Architecture

Known as Zuster House, the minimalistic bungalow is now a towering family home with a dramatic glazed facade and an angular roofline. Completed in 2019, the project has taken the once dark and pokey building and turned it into a stylish and unique space for the whole family. Sleek black brickwork can be seen alongside expansive sheets of glass and black-oxide mortar, a nod to the industrial maritime heritage of the area.

Zuster House, Sydney, Australia

Bijl Architecture

The homeowners wanted their newly transformed pad to feel spacious, make better use of redundant areas, improve the connection between each floor and maximise its enviable views of Sydney Harbour.  Every space in this open-plan interior has been carefully positioned towards the horizon, allowing for unobstructed landscape views from all areas of the house.

Bijl Architecture

The lower ground floor, which was previously an underutilised space, is now home to a flexible living zone that opens onto the garden. The interior design was also key to creating a beautiful and easy family space, with textured pressed metal, characterful timber panels and muted colours bringing old and new together. The property is also a mirror image of Doorzien House, one of Bijl Architecture’s previous projects, and sits right next door!

Angular brick extension, Pittem, Belgium

WE-S Architecten / Johnny Umans

Over in Pittem, Belgium, this old-fashioned bungalow was once poorly insulated and extremely pokey, with a quarter of its 714-square-foot layout taken up by a redundant garage.  The owners, a family in desperate need of more space and light, turned to Ghent-based studio WE-S Architecten to help them rescue their home. The results, we think you’ll agree, are simply remarkable.

Angular brick extension, Pittem, Belgium

WE-S Architecten / Johnny Umans

The once-simple bungalow has been completely transformed, with everything from the external brickwork to the building’s energy performance being upgraded. Due to local building laws, WE-S Architecten were restricted in the amount they could increase the home by, so created a narrow 574-square-foot extension that cuts diagonally through the property. The whole thing was then wrapped in a new red-brick facade to blend it all seamlessly together.

Angular brick extension, Pittem, Belgium

WE-S Architecten / Johnny Umans

Inside, the bungalow is bright and beautiful, with elegant vaulted ceilings, polished concrete floors and plenty of glazing. The new extension has allowed for additional bedrooms downstairs, while the older parts of the house have been opened up into free-flowing family rooms that serve multiple functions. The new raised roofline also allowed for two additional bedrooms to be located upstairs.

WE-S Architecten / Johnny Umans

A spacious and functional family home, the 1,026-square-foot interior meets passive design principles for fantastic energy performance. As a nod to the home’s former life as a garage, the designers also decided to turn this space into a covered terrace that is perfect for the summer months and also protects the home from the area’s strong westerly winds.

Classic Craftsman refit, British Columbia, Canada

Kitsilano Construction

The owners of this classic Craftsman bungalow in Vancouver, Canada, wanted to turn its dark, compartmentalised interior into a light-filled, open-plan space that was perfect for entertaining. To realise their vision, they turned to Kitsilano Construction who have brought their historic home right into the 21st century.

Classic Craftsman refit, British Columbia, Canada

Kitsilano Construction

Built in 1926, this traditional home is now modern and functional while still matching the history and style of the neighbourhood. As well as preserving the building’s classic design elements, Kitsilano Construction re-positioned the home’s windows, created a ground floor garage, changed the stairs and carefully preserved the home’s original stained glass.

Inside, a new floor plan has opened up each of the living spaces to create seamless and inviting zones for relaxing and socialising. Contemporary and yet classic in its finish, the home features custom millwork, oil rubbed bronze hardware and hardwood floors throughout. Modern conveniences, such as a built-in sound system and smart lighting, also bring the house into the present day.

With 3,300 square feet of inside space, the newly remodelled home now boasts four bedrooms and three bathrooms. A semi-independent suite has also been created on the lower level of the house – the perfect spot for visiting guests or moments away from the kids. The restored exterior porch is also in-keeping with traditional Craftsman bungalows of the area and is the only space we’d want to enjoy our morning coffee!

Second storey addition, Calgary, Canada

Pinnacle Group Renovations

The owners of this simple bungalow in Calgary, Canada, didn’t have enough space for all of their needs, so they approached Pinnacle Renovations to help them enhance and extend it. With a minimal plot to play with, the designers decided that instead of building out, they would need to build up.

Second storey addition, Calgary, Canada

Pinnacle Group Renovations

It’s difficult to believe that this is the same house now that an entire extra floor has been added. Doubling the size of the house, the original brickwork has been replaced with grey stone, for added curb appeal and to hide the joins. The former double garage has also been opened up to create one large, practical space for this growing family.

Pinnacle Group Renovations

Before, the home’s interior was dark and dingy with pokey rooms that were incredibly outdated. Now, thanks to a complete overhaul, the home is chic and stylish, with an easy flow throughout. The newly installed second storey has made way for a large open-plan communal zone downstairs, while all of the bedrooms are located above. Towering ceilings and plenty of windows also amplify the impression of space.

The main living zone has been beautifully curated to provide space for entertaining and is finished by a sophisticated colour palette and natural wooden touches. Modern and bright, it was designed to be used for years to come and every communal zone serves more than one purpose. This cool and contemporary property proves that with a clear vision for the end result, anything is possible!

Coastal bungalow remodel, Cornwall, UK

BkT Architecture

As a chartered architectural technologist, Barry Tape craved a project of his own. He and his wife Jennifer had outgrown their coastal cottage, so they began searching for a house that offered plenty of potential. One of Barry’s clients inherited a bungalow that she wanted to sell. Just 48 hours later, the couple had bought the building. Located in sought-after St. Agnes, Cornwall, the rundown bungalow was in need of some serious TLC, but it benefited from being just 15 minutes from the centre of town and had an attractive, large garden.

And the new house is unrecognisable from its former incarnation. While it looks like a totally new building, Barry dissected the original house before adding an extra floor above. The façade was clad in timber, which was an easy and affordable way of hiding the unsightly exterior of the original bungalow, while locally-sourced stones cover one side of the house as well as the porch exterior – a beautiful nod to the area’s heritage.

To ensure the new home met Passivhaus principles, a timber frame was built within the brickwork before being packed with a protective thermal layer. Highly efficient, the property now costs just £9 a week to power. The couple recycled much of the bungalow’s original masonry, so old and new fit together perfectly. Country-style touches like the wooden beam and log burner in this kitchen-diner give the house a cosy traditional feel.

The newly renovated interior covers 3,659 square feet and offers a chic open-plan layout with versatile family zones and snug rooms for cosy nights in. The attic space has also been turned into a self-contained apartment, which is perfect for visitors and offers uninterrupted views across Bodmin Moor towards the sea. Completed in 34 months, the project cost just £231,500 ($302k) – half the price of building a similar property in the area.

All-American farmhouse, Texas, USA

HGTV Fixer Upper

This simple metal pole barn in the heart of Texas received rather a special makeover, thanks to the popular HGTV show Fixer Uppers. Renovation specialists Chip and Joanna Gaines used their skills to help owners, TJ and Stephanie, transform the rundown rural retreat into their dream home. In fact, the story behind this outdated bungalow has now become one of the show’s most popular stories – let’s take a closer look!

All-American farmhouse, Texas, USA

Airbnb

TJ and Stephanie only had a budget of $45k (£35k) to buy and renovate a property but amazingly Chip and Joanna managed to find this 980-square-foot pad within budget. Though it was poorly constructed, offered zero insulation and featured compact rooms separated by thin walls, the rustic dwelling offered bags of potential and was a blank canvas for an All-American makeover!

Since TJ lost his leg while posted in Afghanistan, Chip and Joanna’s main goal was to make the home as spacious and practical as possible. To ensure the interior was cosy yet provided all the inside space the couple could need, they removed some of the walls to create a sleek, open floor plan with a better internal flow. Local tradesmen also contributed their time and building materials to help get the project in on budget.

In keeping with the traditional farmhouse style, Joanna selected a neutral palette that balanced classic design elements with modern industrial accents, such as black metal hardware and concrete countertops in the kitchen. Large windows in the bedroom allow for ample light to spill inside, while natural wooden tones make every space feel warm and inviting. The newly improved property is now listed on Airbnb, so you can see the place for yourself!

1960s bungalow makeover, Helvoirt, The Netherlands

Jaro van Meerten / Otten Van Eck

Situated in Helvoirt, The Netherlands, this basic bungalow benefited from being enclosed by idyllic woodlands but was in need of some serious improvement. After Otten Van Eck Architects and Designers were finished with it, the simple 1960s building is totally unrecognisable! Prepare to be amazed…

Jaro van Meerten / Otten Van Eck

Far more eye-catching, the new and improved bungalow is now defined by frameless glass walls and dark timber panelling and there is very little left of the original property. In fact, only the roof and some of the interior walls have been preserved. Yet the sleek and streamlined redesign is sympathetic to its history and plays with the lines of the original structure.

Jaro van Meerten / Otten Van Eck

Inside, the home is effortlessly cool with simple modern decor. Extensive floor-to-ceiling windows create a long corridor that acts as an endless enclosure, allowing each space to merge together. The glazed walls also allow every room to be flooded with light and perfectly connect the living zones with the attractive landscaped garden beyond.

Tiled concrete flooring and charcoal accents also add an industrial quality to the newly refurbished dwelling, warmed up with splashes of bright colour. Looking for home glazing ideas? You could learn a lot from this project. The pared-back interior allows all the focus to go on the amazing outside spaces, made integrated thanks to these enormous sliding doors. 

1950s bungalow, Vancouver, Canada

MARKEN Design + Consulting

This traditional 1950s bungalow offered plenty of room for restoration, thanks to its large garden, substantial basement, and ample windows. In sound shape, the nondescript home was a fantastic blank canvas for architects MARKEN Design + Consulting to make their own. Let’s see what they did…

MARKEN Design + Consulting

The architects turned the compact bungalow into a modern, durable, and energy-efficient building that would suit a family for decades to come. They added half a storey above, to maximise the allowable living area inside, and focused on environmentally friendly materials when crafting the extension. The new exterior oozes bags of appeal and is formed from varied blue stucco, while the porch ceiling is engineered from cedarwood for a traditional finish.

MARKEN Design + Consulting

Inside, the property has been given a contemporary facelift and is now a chic and unusual space, with white-washed walls and bold splashes of colour. Large windows, high ceilings and cut-out sections allow natural light to travel uninterrupted through the home. Now laid out over three floors, the house’s conversion was completed for less than $382,950 (£293k).

The newly refurbished home now meets passive design principles, meaning it optimises solar gains and retains heat through high-quality insulation and an airtight envelope. The architects also installed a high-performance heat recovery system, resulting in the house having a low carbon footprint, making it incredibly cheap to run.

Dating back to 1947, this traditional Cape Code-style bungalow can be found in Fairfield, Connecticut, and was previously known as the worst house on the block! Owner Athena Bohm decided that it was time to turn the pad into something altogether more inviting, working with Blue Sky Designs for six months, to rescue and renew the historic home.

Following the remodel, the residence has been brought back to life and now shines thanks to its brand new roof, windows and cute shutters! Beautifully modern yet still in-keeping with the charms of the 1940s, the front garden has also been carefully redesigned and is now extremely quaint with its framed pathway and pristine lawns. Everything is either new or completely updated, including the plumbing, flooring, insulation and electrics.

The bungalow’s interior is now chic and stylish, offering a tranquil coastal vibe. Old and new blend together beautifully, while white-washed shiplap boards decorate the fireplace in the main living area – a nod to the home’s former timber-clad exterior. Wood from the home’s backyard was also repurposed and now sits above as an attractive floating mantel.

Blue Sky Designs / Jason Setiawan

As a completely blank canvas, the Cape Cod property has been opened up to create a free-flowing open-plan interior. With 1,200 square feet of space, the home now boasts three spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Athena found some extremely affordable marble on Craigslist, which has been used to dramatic effect in the master bathroom. She also stained some pine to create shelves and built a bathroom vanity out of a side table.

Single-storey front extension, West Yorkshire, UK

Paul Leach Photography / Transform Architects

This traditional English bungalow can be found nestled on a raised plot in the village of Linton, West Yorkshire. The original property wasn’t making the most of the attractive countryside vistas afforded by its elevated position, so its owners turned to Transform Architects to help them change the house for the better. ..

Single-storey front extension, West Yorkshire, UK

Paul Leach Photography / Transform Architects

From outdated and unimaginative to contemporary and bold, this basic bungalow has been given a facelift, both inside and out! A single-storey entrance extension was added to the front of the abode, while a modern flat roof dormer was added to the rear. Part of the original brickwork can still be seen and is beautifully complemented by timber cladding, a shiny new roof and slate accents.

Paul Leach Photography / Transform Architects

The makeover allowed for a bright and beautiful broken-plan layout, where the kitchen, dining zone and lounge softly merge together. The dormer also meant that two new bedrooms could be allocated in the roof space, adding much more value to the family home. A clean and simple colour palette was used throughout, while repeat splashes of grey and blue help to tie each living space together.

Throughout the home, new doors and windows were installed to create a seamless flow between inside and out, maximising the rural scenery from every single room. The main living space also boasts an ultra-stylish freestanding television wall, with a built-in double-sided fireplace – now that’s what we call cool!

Outside In House, Melbourne, Australia

Michael Ong Design

This rustic weatherboard bungalow can be found in the Melbourne suburb of Williamstown, Australia. The homeowners had a desire to restore and preserve the historic building so turned to award-winning architectural studio, Michael Ong Design to breathe new life into it – and the results are simply stunning.

Futuristic, cool and entirely unique, this bungalow is almost too good to be true! From drab to fab, the Outside In House boasts the best of contemporary living and traditional charm.

The original exterior cladding can still be seen, preserved and protected inside the glass extension. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors connect the interior with the garden and flood the home with natural light, while the new open-plan space is fresh and simple, thanks to minimalist decor and a clean colour palette.

In order to protect and perfect the older part of the bungalow, the architects left many of its beautiful original features intact. From its carefully maintained timber panelling to its attractive casement windows and hardwood floors, the former part of the property has been brought back to life.

8 AMAZING 1970s bungalow renovation ideas

Renovation ideas for a 1970s bungalow – image @BEHIND_THE_GLASS_DOOR

A bungalow  is a single story detached house with a garden. In the UK, bungalows started being built in the 19th century before they regained popularity in the 50s, 60s and 70s. 

Today, 1970s bungalows are particularly desirable as they typically have been designed with an open plan and more generous windows. However, 50 years after their erection, many of them are in need of a good renovation that would bring light and modernity. So if you own a 1970s bungalow, here are 8 AMAZING 1970s bungalow renovation ideas to help you with your renovation! Make sure you check out our guide for steps to renovate a house while you’re at it.

Mezzanine idea for a 1970s bungalow renovation – IMAGE: livingspacearchitects

1. Add a new mezzanine level

1970s pitched roof bungalows typically have a lot of unused loft space. Make the most of it without undertaking too many structural changes by adding a mezzanine to some parts of the house. Not only will this give you extra space it will also add character to the interior of your house by giving you the option to create double height spaces in important rooms.

2. Open up to your garden

1970s bungalows almost always have generous gardens around them. Experience it fully by creating a strong relationship between the inside and outside by opening up your living rooms as much as possible! Take a look at this incredible renovation in Sheffield. They’ve considered the landscaping of the garden as an extension of the house and added additional seating and dining areas outside.

3. Upgrade your house’s insulation

Most 1970s houses are poorly insulated and don’t meet modern standards. Use your renovation to upgrade your thermal comfort whilst achieving the look of your dreams.

This sustainable renovation retained the external facade of the house but changed the roof and internal layout to achieve a warmer and brighter interior. The new roof allowed for new contemporary dormers which gives the 1970s bungalow a modern twist. Such a great idea!

4. Keep it as a bungalow but open up inside

Not having stairs in a home is ideal for both young children and less mobile members of the family. Keep your 1970s bungalow as a single story home but renovate the interiors to bring as much light and flow as possible. Not extending upwards will save you a lot of time and money and has the opportunity to make your home more adaptable in the future.

5. Create a wrap-around courtyard

Hello sun trap! Because 1970s bungalows are generally lower than other buildings, they can create a lovely light-filled courtyard. With two identical single-story extensions this bungalow now has the perfect place for a dinner al-fresco which won’t be overshadowed by the house.

6. Unify the form

Sometimes less is more. This 1970s bungalow was divided into three separate volumes. By unifying the form into one simple volume, the house now looks much more simple and elegant. If you can, consider simplifying your facade before adding any porch or extension. This will give clarity to your design and make it stand out more.

7. Give the facade a huge make-over

1970s bungalows can sometimes look dated especially when they haven’t been taken care of over the years. Covering your facade with modern white render will instantly make the house feel like a totally different building. Alternatively, simply changing your windows will not only make your house warmer but it is a simple way to cheer up your house’s exterior.

Tips to Make Your Bungalow Look Modern

Loading admin actions …

What do you imagine when you picture a bungalow? No doubt you’re making the usual associations: 1970s style décor complete with dated furniture and floral curtains—the sort of cosy and comfortable interiors that would make your granny proud. However, it’s also possible that you’ve heard the news: bungalows are no longer the place where good taste goes to die! 

The bungalows of today are stylish and chic, thanks to professionals and homeowners across the UK embracing bungalow renovation ideas with open arms. And let’s not forget that bungalows usually offer spacious layouts and typically large gardens, ensuring a growing demand for this type of property. Buyers expect to see a certain standard if they’re not planning to take on a bungalow renovation project, so if you’re putting your bungalow on the market, make sure it ticks all the right boxes and includes all the modern necessities.  

Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply update your own, these bungalow renovation ideas (some of which are straight out of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s) will help you on the journey.  

1.Update the exterior

When considering bungalow renovation ideas, remember that first impressions count; so, pay attention to the exterior of your property. This might involve a simple coat of paint to refresh the front of your bungalow, or it could mean investing in more structural work to tackle any problems that could be an issue in the future, such as damp and mould. Forking out for a new roof might seem like an annoyance at the time, but if it needs doing, acting early will save you a lot of hassle in a few years time.  

Additionally, don’t forget to make the most of your garden. In many instances, landscaping and gardening form part of a bungalow renovation, considering how many of them come attached with spacious gardens. Thus, make it a focal feature. Add modern decking or a patio area to get the most from your outdoor space, and if you’re feeling adventurous, add herb and vegetable gardens to allow for a more sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle.

2. Modern radiators are a must

It goes without saying that modern central heating is a must: and it’s even better if you have eco heating systems installed. However, not everyone has the resources to add solar panels to their home, so a simple way to get your heating up-to-date is to focus on the radiators. Clunky 70s style radiators can be covered up with stylish casements, such as this example. If you want to replace your radiators, there are a wide variety of modern designs available which can be discreetly integrated into the rest of your contemporary décor.

3. Focus on the kitchen

The kitchen is worth investing in, as for many, it’s the most important room in the house. So, if you’re going to update any one room, choose this one! Keep it bright and welcoming by maximising natural light and creating an open plan layout if possible (get ready to knock down some walls!). It’s also important to decide on a particular style. Do you want a modern kitchen, or a country style kitchen? Mixing different design elements can result in a mismatched mess, so ideally work with a kitchen designer to get it just right.  

4. Say goodbye to ugly carpets

Dated, patterned carpets have no place in a modern bungalow. Of course, if you prefer carpets to floorboards or tiles, there are plenty of luxurious options to choose from that look great in a modern home. However, if you’re selling your bungalow, remember that hardwood floors are often viewed as a selling point. 

5. Extend to the rear

Perhaps you’ve been inspired by the tremendous glazing included in bungalow conservatory ideas, and now you want to incorporate it via a rear extension. We say go for it, as a rear extension can provide some valuable extra space which can be the new living room, or can open up the kitchen to create an open plan kitchen diner. Bi-fold doors are the perfect way to bring extra light into the lower level of the home, and they also create a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Value-boosting bungalow renovation ideas: Rewiring and replumbing

• Add extra electrical sockets to up your bungalow’s functionality and convenience. You could even consider a beautiful face plate for sockets and switches. 

• Poor water flow, knocking or rattling, and burst pipes are usually the result of old piping. Consider replacing your gravity fed plumbing system (which uses extra space for a header tank) with a pressurised one. It’s also marvellous with regards to pressure on hot and cold supplies. 

Value-boosting bungalow renovation ideas: A garden office

With more and more people working from home these days, many bungalow conservatory ideas have made way for designs focused on studies or home offices. This has naturally boosted the appeal of garden offices, especially since they can add so much value to a property, whether it’s a modern house or a charming bungalow.

Expect to dish out between £5,000 to £20,000 for a small garden office, depending on the quality of the build, its size, and bespoke features.

Modern makeover

 The aluminium folding sliding doors from Sun Paradise, which  wrap around a corner, are supported by two large picture windows. The first-floor window was changed to a larger aluminium design that balances with the ground-floor glazing. The entire exterior was clad in white render, applied by contactors BTL Property 

Adding another level

This two-bedroom bungalow in Hampshire (below) had a simple, square footprint. It was too small for a family, and despite there being a small terrace outside the back door, the link between the house and garden was poor, says architect Tony Holt.

Due to the slope of the site,  it would have proved expensive to add a large extension, so the best approach was to create a new first floor. Adding a simple duo-pitched roof allowed all of the bedrooms to be located upstairs, and has produced better-quality living spaces on the ground floor, too.

Downstairs, a small bedroom was combined with the original hallway to create a larger entrance space with a feature staircase and double-height vaulted ceiling. By removing the bathroom and toilet, and building a small extension, a large open-plan kitchen and living area has been created, stretching across the width of the rear of the property. A new utility has also been added to one side. The original master bedroom has become a second reception room.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, two with en suites, and a family bathroom. A roof overhang has created a covered terrace with views of the garden, accessed from the master and second bedrooms.

 

Build cost: £250,000

Creating a new second storey has allowed all three bedrooms, two with access to a covered terrace, to be located on the first floor, with an open-plan living space below. The whole house has been clad in white render. Windows and doors, Ideal-Combi

The two-bedroom 1950s bungalow failed to connect to its outside space and wasn’t big enough to accommodate a family due to its compact footprint

A striking evolution

This 1950s bungalow, near Wallingford, in Oxfordshire, (below) had a kitchen-living space, bathroom and three bedrooms on the ground floor, a fourth bedroom in the loft space, and a separate workshop to one side. The owners wanted a contemporary, light-filled house suitable for their growing family, and with a good connection to the garden.

Their budget dictated that the architects reused as much of the existing building fabric as possible. They developed a design that connected the bungalow and workshop using a bespoke glazed extension, producing a unique courtyard arrangement.

Raising the roof

‘This three-storey 1960s property (below) had good proportions and was set in a great location in Cheshire, but there was one major problem – it was really ugly!’ says Alexandra Hull, managing director at Back to Front Exterior Design, the architectural firm behind the new scheme. ‘It had green roof tiles, mismatching brickwork, dated windows and services run all over the elevation, and it needed a complete modernisation internally, too. The house did, however, have great potential and the owners chose a traditional style for the renovations.’

‘When the enormous tent went up and the front elevation and roof came off the house, we realised the scale of the project,’ says owner Jo Glenton. ‘It became crystal clear why we’d been told that staying in the property through the build wouldn’t be an option. Moving out and the upheaval for us all was immense, and the time involved in changing every element of every room was massive.’

‘However, when the house was finally unveiled, the reaction from neighbours, friends and passers-by made it well worth it. We now have a house exactly to our specification and everything is brand new, but it cost us at least half of what a new house would have. The sense of achievement is great and, with the same brilliant team behind us, we’d probably do it all again. ’

‘The first thing we needed to address was the slanted dormer and improving the shape of the roof structure,’ says Alexandra. This involved some fairly major surgery but was fundamental to the transformation, and it enabled us to change the proportions of the windows and flood the house with natural light.

‘Weatherboard and render dealt with the unattractive brickwork and allowed us to create harmony across the elevation with a soft colour scheme to tie it all together. The green roof tiles were replaced with natural slate to complete the look.’

Build cost: A similar renovation is likely to cost £200,000 to £250,000 at Back to Front Exterior Design

Tudor-style remodel

Mark and Julia Swannell moved from Bedfordshire to Shropshire in 2000 after spotting this Georgian home for sale. They spent the next decade remodelling and extending it to create a Tudor-style family home.

‘We were looking for a design that would lower the height of the house visually,’ says Mark. ‘That’s where the idea for a jettied first floor with the steep pitched roof that is typical of Tudor buildings, came from.’

Julia and Mark, who is a joiner, had built their own home back in Bedfordshire, and were happy to take on most of the work themselves – from the design phase to pouring the foundations, erecting the oak-frame extensions to tiling the roof. After getting planning approval, they were able to add two three-storey wings onto the house, with the original two-storey building in the centre creating visual balance.

One wing, which has its own entrance for guests, now houses a ground-floor living room, first-floor kitchen and snug, two bedrooms

The original part of the house contains the hall, dining room, two more bedrooms and a bathroom. There’s also a cloakroom, utility, office and even a bar.  ‘Attention to detail has been so important, it’s the small details which really make the house,’ says Mark.

Build cost: The house cost £175,000 in 2000 and is now valued at £825,000.

Mark and Julia fell for the location of the house, its large lawns, duck pond and

Once the imposing structure was complete, Mark made replica Tudor features. He crafted the doors and casement windows, using moulded cement blocks to create ‘sandstone’ surrounds. 

Modern makeover

This detached 1960s house was renovated inside and out to make the most of its amazing views. Because of its location in the New Forest National Park, there were limits on the maximum size the house could be extended to. The existing entrance hall and a garage conversion were therefore demolished and replaced with new structures of a similar size, while the interior was remodelled to reflect its contemporary exterior.

On the first floor, a new pitched-roof extension was added to create a fourth bedroom and en suite, with access to a sun terrace over the new entrance hall below.

All of the windows were replaced with glazed timber and aluminium composites to offer better thermal performance. ‘Additional insulation was also added to the roof and walls, with the walls then clad with timber shingles so that a homogenous design would be revealed once the extension was completed,’ says architect Darren Bray, from PAD Studio Architects.

‘We wanted to make our design unchallenging in terms of form, scale and materials while recognising the opportunity to create a modern home that enriches its local environment.’

Build cost: £240,000

Remarkable renovation

When architect Will Lasdun bought this 1960s bungalow near Torbryan, in Devon, he faced two choices – knock it down and build from scratch VAT-free, or adapt and incorporate the original building into his plans. With a very narrow access track and nowhere else for his family to live, he opted for the latter.

‘It made sense to radically rework the layout of the bungalow because the first thing that struck us when we looked round was that the master bedroom was monopolising all the best views, overlooking fields towards the coast,’ explains Will.

A new open plan kitchen/dining/living space dominates the majority of the ground floor now, with a separate snug and games room alongside. Two bedrooms and a bathroom can be found in a mezzanine level above, and a new building where the garage once stood – connected to the main house via a glazed hallway – features a double garage, utility and workshop, with two en suite guest bedrooms and a studio above.

Mindful of costs, the logistics of getting new materials onto site, and keen to reuse as much as possible, Will made sure nothing went to waste. The original stone sections of the bungalow, for instance, have been given a new lease of life now they’re positioned next to the Western red cedar cladding and smart grey render.

‘The most valuable lesson I’ve learnt is the need to constantly hold onto the belief that, during all the stress of the build, one day the project will actually be finished!’ laughs Will.

Build cost: £233,000

In an idyllic woodland setting, this 1960s bungalow in Devon, with views across the English Riviera, needed a modern update

The property has been painstakingly adapted, with many of the original materials finding new life in this latest incarnation. The old roof purlins, for example, have been used to build the gable end, while the original stonework has been refreshed and reused

Contemporary design

This detached family home, located at the end of a cul-de-sac in Hertfordshire, had stood largely untouched since it was built in the 1950s. The rooms were cramped and a detached garage had been linked to the house by a poorly constructed infill. Architectural designer Tony Holt, of Tony Holt Design (tonyholt-design.co.uk), created a scheme for the family that would extend the property on all four sides, retaining the corners of the existing structure and much of the original roof.

On the ground floor, the staircase was relocated to create a double-height entrance hall that flows into a large, open plan kitchen/dining/living space at the rear of the house with full-height glazing that links to the garden.

Two further living areas were also created on the ground floor, along with a games room and home office. The garage was rebuilt and became part of the main house, with a replacement detached garage built elsewhere on the plot. On the first floor, three new en suite bedrooms were added thanks to the new extensions, while a master bedroom was created at the rear, with a dressing room and roll-top bath on a mezzanine area above.

Externally, the home was given a contemporary appearance by applying white render with accent materials such as brickwork, natural stone and small panels of metal cladding to help focus the eye on the main entrance. New powder-coated aluminium windows were added to complete the look.

‘The tired existing building has been transformed beyond recognition,’ says Tony. ‘The property has gone from providing 189 square metres of accommodation to 331 square metres. Externally, the house now looks and feels like it was built in the present day, and the contemporary palette provided by the stone, brick and render means that this new look should stand the test of time.’

Build cost: £350,000-£400,000

A series of extensions have been added to each elevation, with the exterior clad in a palette of stone, render and brick to create a contemporary new look that is also designed to stand the test of time

Balancing old and new

The owners of this 1970s property wanted to transform it into a contemporary, energy-efficient five-bedroom home using natural, breathable materials, so called upon PAD Studio to draw up a design that focused on simplicity, quality and attention to detail.

The existing layout had a living room, kitchen-diner, utility and bedroom on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. A previous single-storey extension was an obvious starting point for change, and a contemporary, two-storey box extension was added in its place, containing two bedrooms, a bathroom, a playroom, cloakroom and an extended kitchen-diner.

A rooflight and floorlight were then added to the original building to help bring in more daylight.

Improving the property’s energy efficiency was another key priority, so insulation in the walls and roof was upgraded to exceed the U-value requirements of the building regulations. The windows were replaced, and solar panels were added to the sedum-roofed extension, supplying enough hot water for the family’s daily requirements.

All of the plumbing and electrics were updated during the refurbishment, with low-flush toilets, aerated showers and energy-efficient lighting by Aurora also included.

‘The outcome is a harmonious balance between old and new, inside and out,’ says architect Wendy Perring. ‘The house is warm, bright and welcoming, and gives the feeling of nature and home being one.’

Build cost: £250,000

With two children and a third on the way, the owners of this detached house in the New Forest were keen to create extra space and make it more energy efficient

The extension is held off the existing house by glazed panels, which help to introduce plenty of light internally. Western red cedar, from Vincent Timber, was used to clad both the original and new structures.

Bungalow Renovation Ideas UK | Top 10 Ways to Remodel a Bungalow

Recently, bungalows have become quite attractive in modern lifestyle because of the unique benefits they have over high-rise houses. The layout of a bungalow makes it perfect for both young and old persons because it allows for easy accessibility. Bungalows are not just children-friendly; they are also great for older adults. Also, they are an excellent option for people who are physically handicapped. Furthermore, bungalows offer more privacy than multi-storey buildings because they are usually built in large compounds.

However, in modern times, developers would instead build multi-storey buildings than bungalows to maximise space. Thus, most bungalows are behind the times. For example, there are many 1950s bungalows in the UK. This means that if you want to purchase a bungalow, you would most likely end up buying an outdated one. Before you discard the idea of purchasing a bungalow, you should know that it could be remodelled.

The advancement of technology has made it possible to transform your bungalow to your dream house. Remodelling is an excellent option to consider because of its advantages. It gives your “ancient” bungalow an entirely new look and also helps you maximise space. However, the process of renovating your bungalow is an important task that could be quite overwhelming. While you want to give your house a new look, you also want to stay true to the original architecture.

Things To Look Out For When Considering A Bungalow Renovation

Below are some features of bungalows and design elements you may need to look out for in achieving your goal:

• Bungalow dormers with a low shed roof
• Natural raw materials, like stone and cedar
• Big prairie-style windows
• Porches
• Low gable roofs with wide overhangs

Also, there are some questions you should try to answer if you are considering a bungalow extension. They include:

– What type of bungalow extension do you want? Do you want one that is to the side, rear, or up into the attic?
– How much do you have to spare for the bungalow renovation?
– Do you require planning permission to carry out any extensions?
– What kind of renovation would increase the value of your property?
– How convenient would it be to connect the extension to essential utilities?

Bungalow Renovation Ideas

There many bungalow renovation ideas from which you could select. Searching for 1960s bungalow renovation ideas or 1970s bungalow renovation ideas could be quite the task. Therefore, we have compiled a list of some bungalow renovation ideas used in the UK. They are:

1. Bungalow Extensions

Although multi-storey buildings are easier to extend than bungalows, a bungalow extension might be what you need. Many bungalows have big gardens that leave room for an extension to the side or back. Bungalow extensions can increase the value of your house, should you choose to sell later. An excellent bungalow extension must be compliant with the original building design. There are many bungalow extension ideas you could consider.

If done under permitted development, you can add a small single-storey rear extension of four metres. Until May 2019, you can add an eight-metre rear extension in the UK). You can also extend half of the front width to the sides of the bungalow. This extension helps you increase the floor space of the house without going through formalities.

You could consider a chalet bungalow extension. Also, you could consider a bungalow roof extension, which has many designs from which you could make a selection. Finally, for more ideas, you could check out before and after photos of bungalow extensions.

2. Build A Roof Terrace or Balcony

You can completely transform a 1950s bungalow in the UK by adding a roof terrace or balcony. These beautiful additions could help to make your bungalow more aesthetically appealing. They could also help you appreciate a beautiful view you otherwise may not have noticed from a lower floor. However, you may need to obtain planning permission rights before you can build a balcony or terrace.

3. Change Your Bungalow Layout

Do not be scared of changing the current arrangement of your bungalow. Identify the best parts of your property and try to use them to your advantage. Try to minimise unnecessary spaces like corridors to increase the habitable areas. You may need to tear down a wall or get rid of a bedroom to create more space. Areas that need ventilation, but not so much natural light could be positioned northwards. Bedrooms are better positioned in areas that do not have the best scenery.

In re-arranging your bungalow layout, ensure that you do not cut off natural light in your house. You could make use of sun pipes which bring in natural light from a glazed panel in the roof. You could also take things further by integrating roof lights or broad glazing roofing sections.

4. Consider An Open Plan Layout

An open plan layout is an excellent option to consider when remodelling your bungalow. It allows for a lighter and more spacious home. However, it is essential to remember that an open plan layout is not for everyone. You need to think through what you want to achieve from creating an open plan layout, and how it would help you.

5. Loft Conversion

If your bungalow has a grossly under-utilised roof space, you could put it to use as a living area. Ensure that at the highest point of your loft, the head height is nothing less than 2. 2 metres in height. Where the space in the loft is limited, adding dormers to gables could help increase space. You may also need permission rights before you can embark on a loft conversion unless your bungalow is a listed building.

There are other precautions to take note of if you want to convert your loft. There may be a need to add floor joists alongside the ceiling joists to strengthen the latter. An alternative is to stiffen the entire floor plated with plywood sheets. Furthermore, there may be a need to underline the roof rafters with insulation. A crucial consideration is the positioning of the staircase. It should be placed in such a place that leads up to the highest point of the loft.

Bungalow dormers could be created to add more floor space. Also, roof lights are the most effective way of bringing light into the loft. Although, they may be quite expensive, ranging from twenty thousand pounds to forty-five thousand pounds.

6. Link Indoors With Outdoors

Many old houses do not have links with the garden. Creating a connection with the outdoors would make your bungalow more spacious. It would also allow for more natural light into your house. This could be easily achieved by using glazed sliding, French, or bi-fold doors. Leaving these doors open during the summer could make your garden seem like an extended part of your dining room.

You could also try to use matching flooring materials indoors and outdoors. It will allow for seamless outdoor living.

7. Bungalow Exterior Makeover

This could involve adjusting the windows of your bungalow, or changing the front door. You should go for something contemporary to give your bungalow a whole new look. An example of a new addition could be glazed doors.

8. Consider Modern Insulation System

Another way you can renovate your bungalow is to improve its thermal performance. This improvement would not just help with heat retention; it also makes the property look much better. Mineral wool insulation is an excellent option to consider. Another great option is external insulation. It would help disguise brickwork, if you so desire, and make the walls thicker. Also, internal insulation is another excellent option although it may reduce your floor space. It could be pretty expensive too.

9. Bungalow Conversion

There are so many bungalow conversion ideas from which you can make a selection. You could convert your bungalow to a house. You could also convert your bungalow into a dormer.

10. Adding A Second Storey To Your Bungalow

Although this could be quite an arduous task, it is an excellent choice to consider when renovating your bungalow. Not only does adding a second-storey to your bungalow make it more spacious, but it also gives it a different look. Before you decide to go for this option, you need to ensure that the original architectural design can support it. You may need the help of an architect or an engineer before you can do this successfully. You may also need to hire the services of a remodelling company with experienced and well-trained employees.

Hiring professional services would incur some cost, making this option a bit pricey. The entire cost to be borne could range from 116, 000 pounds to 154, 000 pounds. If you cannot afford a full second storey, you can consider a partial one. The price range of a partial second storey is between 69, 000 pounds to 92, 000 pounds. Furthermore, you may need to obtain planning permission rights before you can add a second-storey.

General information

Basque Country (Basque Country or Euskadi) is a large and economically developed Autonomous Community in northern Spain, and perhaps the most mysterious of all Spanish lands. The landscape, climate, character, language and mentality of the Basques are not very similar to typical Spanish ones. There is a lot of greenery here, it often rains, there is practically no heat. The Basques themselves are very industrious and energetic, and their language (euskara) is absolutely autonomous and does not resemble any other language in the world. By the way, there is also the French Basque Country, and it is to it that the province of Gascony is referred, where the famous character of Dumas, D’Artagnan, was from.

The capital of the Basque country is the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, and the largest Basque city is Bilbao . It is the largest city in northern Spain, in the province of Biscay and in the Basque Country as a whole, and the tenth largest city in Spain. As of 2017, Bilbao’s population was 342,397. With 35 municipalities, the Gran Bilbao region has over 1 million inhabitants, making it one of the most densely populated agglomerations in northern Spain. Bilbao is also the main urban area of ​​the territory called the Basque lands.

Bilbao is located near the northern edge of the Iberian Peninsula, about 16 kilometers south of the Bay of Biscay, near the mouths of several rivers. The city is located in the Basque Mountains, between the great Cantabrian mountains and the Pyrenees. The highest point of the Gran Bilbao metropolis is Mount Ganeta (689 meters), followed by Mount Pagasarri (673 meters), both of which are on the border with the municipality of Alonsotegui.

Bilbao’s main river system is also the hydrological artery of the Sea of ​​Biscay. The rivers Nervion and Ibaizabal converge at Basauri and form the so-called Estuary of Bilbao.

Bilbao, which is part of the Gran-Bilbao mosquito, surrounded by municipalities. Derio, Etxebarri, Galdakao, Loiu, Sondika and Zamudio in the north, Arrigorriaga and Basauri in the west, Alonsotegi in the south , Barakaldo and Erandio in the east.

Administratively, Bilbao is divided into eight districts (Basque barrutia ), which, in turn, are subdivided into 34 districts ( auzoa ). Most counties and districts used to be independent municipalities and elizats (forms of local government) that were eventually annexed to the city.

Bilbao originally consisted of the Old Town (Casco Viejo) and some houses on the left side of the estuary – this area is now known as Old Bilbao (Bilbao La Vieja).

About 47% of the Basque Autonomous Community lives in Metropolitan Bilbao, of which 15% is registered directly with the municipality of Bilbao.

Spanish is the most widely spoken language in the city, followed by the vernacular Basque. According to Bilbao’s city government, at least 51% of the population can “speak some Basque” and 29% consider themselves fluent in Basque.

The largest foreign communities in Bilbao are Bolivian and Colombian, comprising respectively 4,879and 3,730 people. Other nationalities, numbering over 1,000, are Romanians (2,248), Moroccans (2,058), Ecuadorians (1,832), Chinese (1,390), Brazilians (1,273) and Paraguayans (1,204).

The economic status of the region is quite high: the Gran Bilbao region has a GDP per capita of 30,860 euros, higher than the average for Spain and the European Union.

Bilbao has been the economic center of the Basque Autonomous Community since the establishment of the Consulate of the Sea in the city in the 16th century, mainly due to the city’s port through which trade was carried out with the rest of the world. At 19century, the city experienced a strong economic boom, based mainly on the development of nearby iron mines and the creation of iron and steel industry, which contributed to the development of maritime navigation and port activities. This eventually led to the development of a very important shipbuilding industry.

In general, iron is the main and most common raw material found in the Bay of Biscay, its mining has been legally regulated since 1526, and it was actively supplied to Europe. In the 20th century, Spanish and European capitals imported about 90% iron from the Bay of Biscay.

Bilbao’s main trade with other countries has always been through the port. This first-class commercial port is now one of the top five ports in Spain and links Bilbao to 500 ports around the world. The main markets are Russia, Great Britain, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries. The Port of Bilbao is the fourth busiest port in Spain after Algeciras, Barcelona and Valencia.

Bilbao also has a booming tourist destination, with the Guggenheim Museum opening at 1997 year. Since that time, the number of tourists visiting Bilbao has steadily increased. Tourism brings Biscay about 300 million euros annually. 31% of all visitors to the Basque Country are in Bilbao – according to this indicator, this city is ahead of San Sebastian. Most tourists come here from Catalonia and Madrid. Due to the proximity of Bilbao to the border with France, a significant part of the tourists are French, followed by the British, Germans, Italians.

Bilbao is also attractive for business travelers, thanks to the modern and well-equipped Euskalduna conference and concert hall, as well as the exhibition center in the neighboring municipality of Barakaldo.

Bilbao is known to football fans for its Athletic de Bilbao club, one of the most successful clubs in the history of Spanish football, and therefore a source of national pride for the Basques.

In 2010, the City of Bilbao was awarded the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, established by the city-state of Singapore in partnership with the Swedish Nobel Academy. In 2013 Mayor Iñaki Askouna was presented with the prestigious Mayor of the World Award, presented every two years by the UK City Mayors Foundation, in recognition of the urban transformation that has been taking place in the Biscay capital since 1990s. In 2017, at The Urbanism Awards 2018, Bilbao received an award as the best European city.

Climate in Bilbao

Due to the Bay of Biscay, the climate in Bilbao is mild, with low pressure, high rainfall (45% of rainy days a year) and less sunshine than in the rest of Spain.

The rainiest season in Bilbao is from October to April, with the most rainfall in November. Snow is not a frequent occurrence in Bilbao, although it can be seen on the tops of the surrounding mountains. Hoarfrost occurs about 10 days a year, mainly during the winter months.

Bilbao has an average daily temperature of 19-20 degrees throughout the year. July is the driest month in the region, but still not dry enough for a Mediterranean climate.

The proximity of the ocean also means that the two best seasons (summer and winter) in Bilbao are quite mild, with low temperature fluctuations. The average maximum temperature during the summer months ranges from 25 to 26 degrees, while the average minimum in winter is 6 to 7 degrees.

The highest sea temperature in Bilbao in August is 21 degrees. In June, the average water temperature is 18 degrees, and in July and September the sea warms up to 20 degrees.

Bilbao airport and directions

Bilbao Airport is the busiest terminal in the Basque Country and on the entire North Coast. In 2017, Bilbao Airport’s passenger traffic reached almost 5 million people. It is located 9 km north of the city, between the municipalities of Luhua and Sondika. The terminal is used by 15 airlines, including Iberia, Lufthansa and TAP Portugal. There are no direct flights to Bilbao from Russia, but there are plenty of connecting flights from Aeroflot, Airfrance, KLM and Lufthansa.

Some low-cost airlines, such as Ryanair, also use Vitoria Airport, located near the town of Foronda (59 km south of Bilbao). From here flights to Bergamo and Tenerife are made all year round.

Bilbao Airport opened in 1948 with regular flights to Madrid. In 2000, a new terminal building was built, designed by renowned Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava. The terminal has a streamlined design with two symmetrical “wings” and a sharp tip in the center, which is especially noticeable from the side. Because of this original shape, the terminal was nicknamed La Paloma (“The Pigeon”). The structure is made of white concrete and glass. Inside, the terminal consists of 2 floors of open and bright spaces – on the top there are check-in counters and a departure hall, on the bottom – an arrivals hall.

There is currently a project to double the existing building. But, unfortunately, the financial crisis has postponed the start of this project until at least 2019.

From Bilbao Airport, take the BizkaiBus to Alameda Recalde 14, located in the city centre. The bus runs every 15 minutes, travel time is 10 minutes, and the fare is approximately 3. 5 euros.

From the station “Elotxelerri-Loiu”, which is near the airport, to “Zazpikaleak-Bilbao” (city center), a train leaves every 20-30 minutes; travel time 16 minutes.

A taxi from the airport to the center of Bilbao takes 11 minutes and costs about 30 euros.

Bilbao Airport

History of Bilbao

In the vicinity of Bilbao, on the top of Mount Malmasin, the remains of an ancient settlement dating back to the 3rd or 2nd century BC were found. Also, in the area of ​​the Artxanda ridge, burials were found, whose age is about 6,000 years. Some researchers believe that the ancient settlement of Bilbao could be called Amanun Portus, mentioned by Pliny the Elder, or Flaviobriga, described by Claudius Ptolemy.

Bilbao was one of the first cities founded in the 14th century, a period when about three-quarters of all Biscay cities were built one after the other.

Diego Lopez V de Haro is considered the founder of Bilbao – he issued a city charter in 1300, which was approved by King Ferdinand IV of Castile, and founded a new city on the right bank of the Nervión River.

In 1310, the next ruler, Maria Diaz I de Haro, extended the trading powers and privileges of Bilbao by a new charter, making the port an obligatory stop for all cargo heading from Castile towards the sea. In addition, Bilbao then received exclusive rights to trade with the city of Las Arenas. In 1372, Juan I of Castile further strengthened the position of the city, giving Bilbao the status of a free port and giving it special privileges in the iron trade. Subsequently, this led to the fact that Bilbao became an extremely important port, connected with trade relations with Flanders and Great Britain.

In 1511, Queen Juan I of Castile ordered the creation of the Consulate of the Sea (Consulado del Mar) in Bilbao. Thanks to this, the port of Bilbao has become one of the most important in the country.

In 1602 the status of the capital of Biscay passed from Bermeo to Bilbao. Around 1631, a series of uprisings broke out in the city against the increase in taxes on salt initiated by the Spanish Crown. The rebellion was put down and several of its leaders were executed.

Thanks to the found iron deposits, Bilbao has been constantly developing economically, supplying iron ore to European countries.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Bilbao was captured and sacked by Napoleonic troops. The French planned to annex the Basque lands to France, but due to the Pyrenean War and, especially, the Battle of Vitoria in 1813, their plans were not destined to come true.

Bilbao Cruise Port

In the 19th century, the Basque Country became one of the main battlefields during the First Carlist Civil War. However, despite the war, Bilbao actively developed in the 19th and 20th centuries, becoming the economic center of the Basque Country. It was during this period that railways were built and expanded, the Bank of Bilbao was founded (which later became one of the largest banking institutions in Spain – BBVA), as well as the Bilbao Stock Exchange.

Bilbao’s steel industry flourished with the establishment of many new factories, including Santa Ana de Bolueta and Altos Hornos de Vizcaya, established in 1902. The city has been modernized with new streets and avenues, modern buildings such as the City Hall, the Basurto Hospital and the Arriaga Theatre.

The Spanish Civil War began in Bilbao with a series of small uprisings that were put down by Republican forces. 31 August 19In 1936, the city was bombed for the first time by nationalist planes. In September, the Nationalists dropped leaflets threatening more bombardments if the city did not surrender. Their threats were realized on September 25, when German aircraft, in agreement with the Francoist forces, dropped at least one hundred bombs on Bilbao.

After the war, Bilbao’s industrial growth continued and was accompanied by a steady increase in population. Over the next decade, the iron and steel industry revived and became a strategically important industrial sector in Spain. Workers from other Spanish regions moved to Bilbao to work at metallurgical enterprises. Such mass migration led to the development of slums on the hillsides, as well as the annexation of the surrounding municipalities to the city, as the demand for housing greatly exceeded the supply.

During the 1960s, Bilbao saw several urban projects, new neighborhoods such as Otxarkoaga, and a motorway to the French border. In 1968 he founded the University of Bilbao, which would later be integrated into the University of the Basque Country.

Since the mid-1990s, Bilbao has begun deindustrialization and transition to a service economy, supported by investment in infrastructure and urban renewal. This began with the opening of the Guggenheim Museum, after which other significant objects were erected and launched: the Euskalduna Conference Center, the Zubizuri Suspension Bridge by Santiago Calatrava, the subway (the stations were designed by the architect Norman Foster), the Bilbao tram, the Iberdrola tower and others. In 2012, the development plan for the artificial island of Zorrozaurre, designed by Zaha Hadid, was approved.

Tram in Bilbao

Urban environment and core areas

Originally medieval Bilbao consisted of three walled streets (Somera, Artecalle and Tendería), which are now replaced by Ronda Street. Inside was a small skete dedicated to St. James the Apostle (now St. James’ Cathedral stands there), which pilgrims visited on their way to Santiago de Compostela. In the 15th century, four more streets were built, forming the original Zazpikaleak (Old City), also known as the “Seven Streets”. In 1571, after several floods and a major fire in 1569year, the walls of the city were destroyed, which allowed for further development and expansion of Bilbao.

In 1861, the engineer Amado Lazaro developed a project to expand the then municipality (now one of the Bilbao districts) of Abando with wide avenues and typical buildings. The Eixample district in Barcelona, ​​developed by Ildefons Cerda, was taken as an example. However, this excellent project was canceled by the city council, who considered it “utopian” and “over the top” due to its high cost.

Bilbao’s next major change came in 1876, when the city annexed the neighboring municipality of Abando in several stages. The new modernization project was much more modest. Abando, in contrast to the labyrinth of narrow lanes of Casco Viejo, was to become the modern center of Bilbao, an area in the form of a grid of streets and equal blocks, with wide straight boulevards. The main avenue of the new district was the Gran Via de Don Diego-López de Aro.

By the end of the 1890s, the modernization was half completed, and by 19In 25, the municipalities of Deusto and Begogna were annexed, as well as part of Erandio (the remaining part of Erandio became part of Bilbao in 1940). The last annexation took place in 1966 – Luhua, Sondica, Derio and Zamudio joined Bilbao. After that, the area of ​​​​Bilbao reached a record size and amounted to 107 square meters. km. However, on January 1, 1983, all these municipalities, with the exception of Deusto and Begogna, regained their independence.

Old Town (Las Siete Calles or Casco Viejo in Spanish, Zazpikaleak or Alde Zaharra in Basque) are different names for Bilbao’s medieval quarter, part of the Ibaiondo district. The names mean “Seven Streets” or “Old Town” respectively. Until the end of 19century, this quarter, including exactly 7 streets, which were connected by narrow alleys – cantons (kantoi / cantón), was walled.

This area is considered the most vibrant part of the city due to the authentic architecture of the main attractions of Bilbao, including several churches (San Anton, Santos Juanes, Cathedral, San Nicolás), many colorful shops and taverns, a large historical market (Mercado de la Ribera ), the Arriaga Theatre, the building of the Academy of the Basque Language (Euskaltzaindia) and the public library. From Casco Viejo it is easy to get to other parts of the city by metro, tram and bus. Three public lifts connect the Old Town with the Begoña and Solokoetxe districts, without which it would be quite difficult to get there on foot uphill.

Bars and restaurants of Casco Viejo are extremely popular not only among visitors to the city, but also among local residents – the tradition of “bar tours” is very common here, when mostly middle-aged men move from bar to bar, drinking a glass (chiquitos) of wine, and singing chorus songs.

Across the river from the Old City, on the left bank of the Estuary of Bilbao is the business and financial district of Abando, covering most of the city centre.

In recent years, the northern part of Abando, near the river Nervión (Abandoibarra in translation – the bank of Abando) has been restored and updated. Now in this former industrial area are the main attractions of the Abando area (and the whole of Bilbao): the Guggenheim Museum, the Euskalduna conference center and concert hall, the Isozaki Towers, the Iberdrola Skyscraper, the Azkuna Zentroa multicenter, as well as many recreational areas and residential areas.

The main artery of the city, Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro, which crosses the city center, is named after the founder of the city, Diego López de Haro V, Lord of Biscay . It was conceived in 1876 when the expansion (ensanche) of the city was planned by the architects Alzola, Achucarro and Hoffmayer on the wide plains of the former municipality of Abando. The avenue crosses Abando and connects it with Casco Viejo in the east and with the San Mames area in the west. With a width of 50 meters, the Gran Via de Don Diego López de Aro stretches for 1.5 km. It starts at Circular square, next to the BBVA building, passes through Plaza Moyua and ends at Plaza Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, in the center of which stands a statue of Christ. The main square of Bilbao – Federico Moyua Plaza is located in the middle of the avenue, about 500 meters from its beginning and 800 meters from its end. Gran Via de Don Diego Lopez de Aro is Bilbao’s most important commercial and business area, home to the head offices of BBK and BBVA banks, and the famous Spanish department store El Corte Inglés occupies two buildings.

Sabino Arana and Juan Antonio Zunzunegui avenues provide a direct route from the city center to the motorways, while Autonomia Kalea connects the south to the east and west.

Road network and transport Bilbao

Bilbao is an important transport hub for northern Spain. The city is located on two international roads. The European route E70 follows the coast of the Bay of Biscay, passing through the cities of Santander and Gijon in the west and Eibar, San Sebastian in the east. The European route E80 connects Bilbao with inner Spain in the south, including Burgos and Salamanca, and continues to Lisbon. From Bilbao to the south is the AP-68 (E804) motorway, the main road connecting Bilbao with southern Spain and the Mediterranean coast.

The A-8 toll road connects all regions on the northern coast of Spain. It is known as the Autovía del Cantábrico (or Transcantábrica) and links Bilbao with the regions of Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia; from Bilbao the road continues to the French border as the AP-8 motorway. The route goes through Ribadeo, Gijón, Santander. Currently, the A-8 is also the main ring road of Gran Bilbao.

Other roads run parallel to the A-8 and AP-8 motorways through Bilbao, or starting from Bilbao, such as the N-634 national road connecting San Sebastian with Santiago de Compostela.

Intercity rail lines connect Bilbao with Madrid and other cities in northern Spain. There are four railway stations in Bilbao: Bilbao-Abando and Bilbao-La Concordia are owned by the state structure Adif and are operated by the Spanish railway company Renfe, while Bilbao-Atxuri and Zazpikaleak/Casco Viejo stations are owned by the Basque railway network ETS and operated by the Basque company Eusko Trenbideak.

Simply put, Euskotren Tranbia operates the tram line, Euskotren Trena operates commuter train networks, Euskotren Autobusa buses and Euskotren Kargo freight trains.

Renfe operates four suburban train lines in a system separate from the metro. Three of them operate under the Cercanías brand, and the fourth line is Renfe Feve. Cercanías travel mostly above ground and over long distances, reaching municipalities outside the metropolitan area, such as Musques, or even outside the province of Biscay, such as Amurrio. Three lines depart from the Bilbao-Abando railway station, and the Renfe Feve line departs from Bilbao-Concordia.

Bilbao-Abando Station, formerly known as the North Station, is the main railway station of the city, high-speed long-distance trains Alvia (Renfe) run along the Iberian track to Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Cercanías trains leave for the suburbs. In summer, special trains to Malaga run from here. The station has direct access to the metro and tram, as well as numerous local and regional bus lines.

The U-shaped main building of the station, reconstructed in 1948 from reinforced concrete, granite, limestone and brick, consists of 5 floors. The second semicircular building with 12 arches is attached to the main hall. The main artistic attraction of the Bilbao-Abando station is a large stained glass panel above the exit to the platforms, consisting of 301 pieces of glass, 15 meters wide and 10 meters high. The stained glass window depicts a variety of activities typical of the Basques, as well as symbolic landmarks such as the Begogni Basilica.

In 2018, the Ministry of Development and the City Hall of Bilbao announced a project that will see the construction of a completely new Bilbao-Abando station with three underground levels (one for high-speed trains, another for regional and Cercanías trains, the third will be the main hall). The station will be connected to a new bus station with 13 platforms, as well as an existing metro station.

In the immediate vicinity of Bilbao Abando is the Bilbao Concordia narrow gauge railway station operated by Renfe Feve. From here there are regular trains to the cities of Santander and León.

The Basque company Euskotren Trena is responsible for regular services to Bermeo from the Bilbao-Axuri station, and to the cities of Durango, Eibar and San Sebastian from the Zazpikaleak/Casco Viejo station.

By 2023, Bilbao is planned to be connected to the Basque Y high-speed rail network on the European gauge, which is being built between the cities of San Sebastian, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Bilbao; travel time between these cities will be halved. The Basque Y will connect the Basque cities to Madrid via Valladolid and to France via Irun.

Public transport in Bilbao, bus and rail, is organized by the Biscay Transport Consortium (Bizkaiko Garraio Partzuergoa), which issues the Barik card, an electronic ticket valid in almost all forms of public transport in metropolitan Bilbao and the province of Biscay.

Bilbao Metro, opened in 1995, consists of a line branching into two – black and orange. The third, small line of seven stations was launched in 2017. In the future, she will have to reach the airport. Of interest are the metro stations designed by the British architect Norman Foster.

Euskotren (abbreviation for “Eusko Tranbia”, meaning “Basque Tramway”) operates a tram line under the Euskotren Tranbia brand. The tram runs on narrow-gauge, meter-long rails along the Nervión River, through the central districts of the city, from the Bilbao-Atxuri station, connecting the districts with important sites such as the Guggenheim Museum and the San Mames football stadium. Travel time along the entire tram line is about 15 minutes. All tram stops are equipped with route maps and displays with the current time, temperature and intervals.

To travel around the city by tram, you need to purchase tickets (for one trip, for a day or for a month) in special machines installed at each stop. The ticket price is fixed and not tied to zones. There are also single tickets for all modes of Biscay’s transport – Creditrans – 5, 10 and 15 euros each. They are sold at tram and metro stops, at ATMs and kiosks.

Each 25m tram is air-conditioned, has 4 doors on each side, 192 seats, including 50 seats, which corresponds to the capacity of about three buses. The entrance openings are at the level of the platform, which allows passengers with disabilities to easily get inside. Every stop is announced on the tram, and pleasant music is played along the way. Many tourists prefer the Bilbao metro tram, as a ride on the Euskotren Tranbia allows you to see the city during your trip. In addition, it is convenient to get to the Guggenheim Museum, and you can also quickly get from the bus station to the railway station and back.

The city’s bus system is called Bilbobus and has 28 regular bus lines, 8 minibus lines and 8 night buses known as Gautxori (“Night Owl”). The Bilbobus network is mostly limited to the city limits, with only a few lines extending beyond its borders. The Bizkaibus network, with over a hundred lines, connects the city with all other municipalities in the metropolitan area, as well as with most cities in Biscay and some in Álava.

The ferry service is operated by the French company Brittany Ferries – the liner departs from the port of Bilbao (municipality of Santurce), located 15 km north-west of the city center, and heads for the English city of Portsmouth.

Bilbao Attractions

As in many cities in Spain, the buildings in Bilbao, which are of cultural and artistic value, are made in a variety of architectural styles: Gothic and neo-Gothic, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, modern architecture. Many of the oldest buildings are located in the Old City, such as the Cathedral of Saint Santiago (or Bilbao Cathedral) and the church of St. Anthony (Iglesia de San Antón), depicted on the coat of arms of the city. Much of the Old Town is pedestrianized during the day. Nearby is one of the most important religious temples of Biscay, the Basilica of Begoña, dedicated to the patron saint of the province, Our Lady of Begoña.

Cathedral of Saint Santiago is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Bilbao. Initially, the Temple was erected in the 14-15 centuries as the main parish church of the city and was declared a cathedral only in the 1950, when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bilbao was created. Presumably, on the site of the cathedral, long before the founding of Bilbao, there was an ancient church of a small fishing settlement located on the site of the modern city.

The temple is dedicated to the Holy Apostle James the Great (known in Spanish as Santiago – Saint Jago) – largely due to the fact that it is an important point on the route of pilgrims following the Northern branch of the Way of St. James.

The modern cathedral is a mixture of different architectural styles. The main vault and the cloister with a magnificent portal belong to the Gothic masterpieces of the 15th century. The magnificent 16th-century façade and towers, decorated with characteristic Renaissance elements, are in the Renaissance style, and the bell tower of the church, rebuilt in the 18th century in the Baroque style, is one of the best examples of this style in the entire Basque Country.

Church of San Anton (Iglesia de San Antón) dedicated to St. Anthony. It is one of the oldest surviving original buildings in the city. Together with the adjacent bridge of the same name, it is depicted on the city coat of arms of Bilbao. The temple was erected at the end of the 15th century on a site where a warehouse had been located for three hundred years. Further excavations revealed that the church stands on the walls of the old Alcazar of the 11th century.

Throughout history, this church has suffered many damages and has been closed twice. Because of its proximity to the Nervión River, the San Antón temple often suffered from floods, which destroyed its interior several times. The last flood occurred at 1983 – as a result, the interior of the temple, doors and railings were damaged. During the hostilities, the church was bombed and burned, especially during the Carlist War. And although the church of San Anton was reconstructed several times, such elements characteristic of the Gothic style as rib vaults and pointed arches are still preserved here.

Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Begoña one of the main symbols of Bilbao, was built in the 16th century in a transitional style from Gothic to Renaissance. The Renaissance facade is complemented by a magnificent triumphal arch of the main entrance. The altar of the basilica is made in the neoclassical style and is of high artistic value.

Bilbao City Hall ( C asa consistorial de Bilbao) is located on the right bank of the Nervión River at the opening bridge Puente del Ayuntamiento, which leads to the central district of Abando.

The building was built in 1892 in the Baroque style by Joaquín Rukoba on the former site of a monastery in the Uribarri area. One of the main attractions of the building is the Arab room, richly decorated in neo-Mudéjar style; its stylistic motifs and decorations are reminiscent of decorations found in the Alhambra castle in Granada. This hall is used for official receptions and weddings.

Joaquín Rucoba is the author of another important Bilbao building, the Teatro Arriaga public theater ( Teatro Arriaga), built in 1890 in the same neo-baroque style. The theater is located by the river, next to the bridge leading from Casco Viejo to Abando. The theater got its name in honor of the Basque composer Juan Crisostomo de Arriaga, who was once called the “Spanish Mozart”.

The Arriaga Theater was rebuilt and renovated in 1985, after a severe flood 1983 years old who destroyed the building. At the same time, the restorers still managed to preserve the original decor and furniture.

On the other side of the Nervión River, in the Abando district, there is another Bilbao theater – Campos Eliseos , with a luxurious modernist facade. The opening of this theater took place in 1902, its authors were the Basque architect Alfredo Achebal and the French decorator Jean Baptiste Darroghi. However, the fate of the theater was quite dramatic – it closed several times and gradually fell into disrepair. Finally at the beginning of 9In the 1900s, the city government bought the building and authorized restoration work. In 2010, Campos Eliseos reopened its doors. Now it is considered the most advanced theater in Spain in technical terms. If you wish, you can visit a free tour, where they will tell you about the history and activities of the theater.

Abandoibarra, a former industrial area in the north of the Abando district, next to the Nervión River, began renovation in the early 1990s. Many symbolic objects were built here, such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Euskalduna conference center and concert hall, the Arata Isozaki twin towers, the Iberdrola skyscraper, the Allondiga multicenter.

Not far from the Guggenheim Museum is located Euskalduna Conference Center and Concert Hall (Palacio Euskalduna) – by the architects Federico Soriano and Dolores Palacios. It began to be built in 1994 and opened five years later, in February 1999. Euskalduna is a multifunctional cultural and business center where conferences and congresses of the highest level are held, opera theater performances are given, and a magnificent concert hall hosts world-class stars. In 2003 Euskalduna was recognized as the best congress center in the world by the International Congress Association.

Euskalduna hosts a wide variety of cultural, political, business, academic and social events. The main hall seats 2,164 people; theater, opera and ballet performances, as well as concerts are held here. There are two restaurants in Euskaldun, one of them, Etxanobe, is awarded a Michelin star.

Next door is Iberdrola Tower ( Torre Iberdrola ), designed by the Argentinian architect César Pelli. Since its completion in 2011, it has been the tallest skyscraper in the Basque Country (165 meters).

On the left bank of the Nervion River, near the Subisuri Bridge, Isozaki Atea , which in Basque means Isozaki Gate, is a complex of seven buildings: two glass modern 83-meter twin skyscrapers (Isozaki Towers) and five 6-8- storey buildings. The complex was designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozdaki. The 23-story Isozaki Towers are the tallest residential buildings not only in Bilbao, but in the entire Basque Country. The first two floors of skyscrapers are used for commercial purposes, while the remaining floors are residential.

One example of the deindustrialization and transformation of industrial areas into public areas is the wine warehouse (alhóndiga), built in 1909 and completely transformed in 2010 by the French designer Philippe Starck in collaboration with Thibault Mathieu into a multi-purpose place – Azkuna Zentroa (Azkuna Center). Askuna Multifunctional Center (otherwise known as Allondiga) is an all-day entertainment center located in the center of the Abando district and consists of an 8-room multiplex, a fitness center, a library, a swimming pool, an exhibition and concert hall, shops and a restaurant. The swimming pool located on the 4th floor, above the heads of the visitors of the complex, who can contemplate the people swimming there, gives an extraordinary feeling.

Zorrozaurre , an artificial island located in the Deusto district, in the northwest of Bilbao, is another example of the transformation of the industrial and undeveloped areas of the city. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was first formed as a peninsula when a canal was built to facilitate navigation along the Bilbao Estuary. But already in the 70s, Zorrozaurre became a zone of industrial and social decline caused by the economic crisis.

In 2012, a project was approved to renovate the area in line with residential and business needs and an ambitious plan designed by British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. As part of the plan, the canal was fully opened on October 8, 2018, finally turning the former peninsula into an island.

Euskalduna Convention and Concert Hall

Deusto is connected to Zorrozaurre by Puente Frank Gehry Bridge . It was named after American-Canadian architect Frank Gehry, author of the Guggenheim Museum. This four-lane bridge is 75 m long and 28 m wide; on both sides there are sidewalks for pedestrians and bike paths. This is the first bridge in Bilbao to use exclusively LED lighting.

In general, Bilbao captivates not only with its history, the spirit of freedom and ancient churches. Across the banks of the Nervion River, which passes through Bilbao and flows into the Bay of Biscay, as many as 17 bridges are thrown within the city, each of which has its own peculiarity and history. Among the most interesting bridges are Zubizuri (Zubizuri, which means “White Bridge” in Basque) – a spectacular suspension pedestrian bridge created by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 1997, as well as Bridge of the Princes of Spain , also known as “ La Salve “, is a suspension bridge from 1972, redesigned by French concept artist Daniel Buren in 2007. The Guggenheim Museum was built right under the La Salve Bridge, literally integrating the bridge into the museum’s structure.

Subisuri Bridge’s unusual design consists of a curved walkway supported by steel suspension cables descending from a sloping arcuate arch. The bridge itself is painted white, paved with rows of translucent glass bricks. In wet weather, the bridge should be walked with caution – the glass blocks become quite slippery.

Between 1890 and 1893, the world’s first transporter bridge, or flying ferry (“Biscay Bridge” ) in the world, was built by the brothers Alberto and Silvestre Palacio on the Nervion River, between the municipalities of Gran Bilbao, Portugalete and Getxo. The bridge is currently operating, transporting several dozen people and six cars on its gondola from one side to the other in 1.5 minutes.

Swinging Deusto Bridge was inspired by the Michigan Avenue Bridge in Chicago and opened at 1936 year.

The Puente de San Antón , located next to the Church of St. Anthony, is the oldest bridge in the city, open until 1318. It is of great historical importance – in the Middle Ages, merchants used this bridge to transport goods from Biscay to Castile, because after its construction, for centuries, San Anton was the only bridge over the river. This medieval arch bridge links the Bilbao La Vieja and Casco Viejo (Old Town) districts. The bridge was repaired and restored several times, the last reconstruction dates back to 1937 year. The San Anton Bridge is one of the emblems of Bilbao and is depicted on the coat of arms of the city. Together with the Church of San Anton, the bridge presents a stunning architectural composition, especially when shot from the river.

The main square of Bilbao is located in the very center of the city, in the Abando district – this is Moyúa Square or Elliptic square . The square was conceived in 1876 as a central hub in the middle of Gran Via de Don Diego López de Aro, from where the main eight streets would radiate. Because of its shape, the square was called Elliptical. At 19In the 40s, the square was restored to its current form, with a fountain in the center and several English and French gardens, and was also renamed in honor of the former mayor of the city, Federico Moyúa.

The most notable and outstanding building in Moyua Square is Palacio Chávarri, built in the Flemish style. Its construction dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, and in style it is very similar to the Renaissance palaces in Antwerp and Bruges. One of the most interesting features of the building is that each set of windows in the palace is different. Now the palace houses the representative office of the Spanish government in the province of Biscay.

In the Casco Viejo area, not far from the Arriaga Theatre, there is another important neoclassical square for the city – Plaza Nueva or Plaza Barria . Its name – “New Square” – replaced the previously existing “Plaza Vieja” (Old Square). The piazza, built in 1821, is surrounded by arcaded buildings and accessed through arches called cuevas (caves).

The main building of the square used to house the Government of Biscay until 1890, a new palace was not built for him. This building currently houses the Euskaltzaindia, the Royal Academy of the Basque Language.

The arches of the New Square house numerous traditional taverns and restaurants, some of the oldest and typical of Bilbao, as well as souvenir shops and shops.

Bilbao Main Square

Every Sunday, Plaza Nueva hosts a flea market selling old books, coins, stamps, birds, flowers and more. In addition to all this, guests of the city will appreciate the opportunity to use free Internet access via Wi-Fi on the square.

Bilbao also has a traditional stationary market, which is very outstanding. Market La Ribera (Market La Ribera) is located near the Old Town and the Church of San Anton, on the right bank of the Nervión River. Its area of ​​10,000 square meters makes it the largest indoor market in Europe. The market sells mainly fresh products: meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, fruits, herbs. Part of the market is given over to the products of local farmers. Back in the 14th century, a market was also located on this site, but the current building was erected in the 19th century.29 in the then fashionable Art Deco style. Thanks to this style, the market has got beautiful large stained glass windows, and its interior open space is filled with natural light.

Speaking of striking examples of modern architecture in Bilbao, one cannot fail to mention the amazing Osakidetza prism house, located in the city center. It was designed by architect Juan Call-Barro and completed in 2008. An unusual transparent building, with a multifaceted dynamic facade, with all this being quite functional. It now houses the Basque Department of Health.

The Bilbao Arena and the San Mames Stadium are some of the most important sports facilities in Bilbao. The covered “Bilbao Arena”, the central hall of which can accommodate up to 10 thousand people, is used for basketball matches. This is the home hall of the local basketball club Bilbao. On the territory of the complex there is also a swimming pool and other sports halls that the citizens can use, and the central hall is also used for concerts, various shows and other cultural events.

San Mamés Stadium is also called Nuevo (New) San Mamés as it was built between 2010 and 2013 to replace the old stadium of the same name, which has been the home ground of Athletic Bilbao football club since 1913. The author of the project of the new stadium is the Basque architect Cesar Azcarate. The stadium has an original façade of glass panels in the form of scales, located between the rows of a metal structure; at night, the facade is illuminated like the Munich Allianz Arena. The new “San Mames” accommodates 53,332 people.

Bilbao Museums

Bilbao has more than a dozen museums covering a range of areas including art, science and sports, which have played a central role in what Bilbao has been called one of the most creative cities in the world. However, the most famous and iconic museum that made Bilbao a famous and popular city for the whole world is Guggenheim Museum Bilbao ( Guggenheim Museum Bilbao ), one of the largest in Spain. This kind of contemporary art Mecca is one of several museums owned by the Solomon Guggenheim Foundation.

The Guggenheim Museum was built on the site of an old dock and wooden warehouse, next to the Nervion River. Its author was the Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. The museum was inaugurated on October 18, 1997 by King Juan Carlos I of Spain.

This outstanding work of modern architecture is rightfully considered one of the most important buildings in the world that appeared after 1980. Almost immediately after its opening, the Guggenheim Museum received the title of the most impressive building, made in the style of deconstructivism; it is still called a masterpiece of the 20th century. The futuristic-shaped building has become a model and inspiration for other similar structures around the world.

Museum of unusual shape, made of glass, stone and titanium organically and very successfully fits into the urban landscape, located on an area of ​​32.5 thousand square meters. Lined with titanium sheets, it looks most impressive from the side of the river. Near the museum there is a huge 13-meter flower sculpture “Puppy” by Jeff Koons, as well as a giant metal spider, the size of a 3-story building, by Louise Bourgeois.

Most of the museum’s exhibits belong to the permanent collection of the Guggenheim, but the museum itself has bought a number of paintings by such masters as Clyfford Still, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, and commissioned new works from Richard Serra, Jenny Holzer, Francesco Clemente and Anselm Kiefer. In addition, the museum houses large-scale, site-specific works and installations by contemporary artists, including Basque and Spanish. It is worth noting that traditional paintings and sculptures in the museum are in the minority, compared to installations and various electronic forms. The collections mainly feature avant-garde art, 20th-century abstraction, and non-objective art. The highlight of the museum’s collection, and its only permanent exhibition, is The Matter of Time by Richard Serra, including an early work, The Serpent, a series of twisted Corten steel ellipses housed in the 130-meter Arcelor Gallery.

Among the exhibits of other areas of contemporary art, it should be noted works in the style of cubism, expressionism, pop art, conceptual art. Here you can see the works of Miro, Kandinsky, Malevich, Picasso and many other geniuses of the 20th century.

The museum’s temporary exhibitions change frequently; various thematic exhibitions are regularly held, focused on the art of different countries, for example, expositions of Russian or Chinese art.

When you leave the Guggenheim Museum, don’t forget to ride the funicular that boards next to the museum. The funicular was opened at 19century and still functions well today. In three minutes, it will take you to the very top of Mount Artxanda, where there is a recreation area, restaurants, a sports complex and a panoramic balcony from where you can admire breathtaking views of Bilbao and the surrounding area.

Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao ( Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao) , located in Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park and founded in 1908, contains an impressive collection of Spanish and European art from the 12th century to the present day. The collection is divided into five main sections: ancient art, classical art, modern art, Basque art, works on paper and applied art. It is the second largest and most visited museum in the Basque Country, after the Guggenheim Museum, and one of the richest Spanish museums outside of Madrid .

Before the museum finally moved into its current large neoclassical building in 1945, it went through several different locations. The building was expanded in 1970 and 2001 due to the growth of the museum’s collection. Today, the Museum of Fine Arts is located on almost 14 thousand square meters, of which 5 thousand square meters. m occupy 33 rooms with a permanent collection, 1,142 sq. m – temporary exhibitions, and the rest are occupied by service rooms and rooms for serving visitors. The museum’s collection currently includes over 10,000 works, including 1,500 paintings, 400 sculptures, over 6,500 works on paper and 1,000 works of applied art.

The pre-20th century collection is centered around major Spanish artists such as El Greco, Francisco de Zurbaran, Bartolome Esteban Murillo, Francisco Goya. Of particular interest are the Flemish and Dutch schools of painting with well-known works by Anthony van Dyck, Mabuse, Benson, Cook van Aelst, Mandijn, Hans Vredeman de Vries, Martin De Vos, Jordaens, Grebber, Ruisdael.

The museum also exhibits one of the finest collections of Basque art, with works created between the 19th century to the present day. Connoisseurs of contemporary art can be attracted by the avant-garde collection, from post-impressionism by Paul Gauguin to pop art and expressionism by Francis Bacon.

Museum of Fine Arts

The Basque Archaeological Museum (Arkeologi Museoa) houses important collections relating to the prehistory of the region, as well as ethnographic exhibits. The museum is located in the Casco Viejo quarter, and the museum building itself, made in the classical style, is included in the Conjunto histórico list of Spain’s national heritage.

The first floor of the museum houses a collection representing the period from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. Here you can also see part of a prehistoric Basque fishing boat. The second floor is occupied by exhibits relating to the period from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Most of the museum’s extensive collection (more than 2,000 exhibits) was discovered during excavations on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and other areas of the Basque Country. In general, the Archaeological Museum often hosts exhibitions dedicated to the history of the Basques.

If you are interested in the history of the Basques, their traditions, culture, lifestyle, we recommend visiting Basque Museum (Euskal Museoa Bilbao Museo Vasco) in Casco Viejo. The Basque people are still considered largely mysterious to scientists studying Basque history and language, which, by the way, is not similar to any language or dialect and is not related to any language group. The museum is housed in a former Jesuit school from the 17th century. Models of dwellings, boats, furniture, household items, ceramics, utensils, handicraft machines and textiles presented in the exposition belong to different historical eras in the life of the Basque society.

Bilbao’s Old Town is also home to Diocesan Museum of Religious Art (Eleiz Museoa) , while the Sacred Heart of Jesus Square is home to The Maritime Museum (Bilboko Itsasadarra Itsas Museoa) , which houses ships and other important exhibits related to history and culture of fishing and shipbuilding in the region. The most important exhibit of the Maritime Museum is an exact copy of the 17th century Basque consular ship, built according to surviving paintings. On the ships located outside, in the docks of the shipyard, you can climb, inspect the main premises, stand in the captain’s cabin.

Parks and recreation Bilbao

In Bilbao, both within the city and on its outskirts, there are many green gardens and parks where you can spend time pleasantly and profitably, relax and enjoy the natural beauty.

The most popular green area of ​​the city is Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park ( P arque de Doña Casilda Iturrizar ), located in the Abando district, near the city center, and covers an area of ​​8. 5 hectares. The park is named after a local benefactor, Casilda Iturrizar, who donated the site to the city. Decorated in the English style, the park was designed by Ricardo Bastida and opened to the public in 1907. The infrastructure of the park is diverse and picturesque; First of all, a dancing fountain surrounded by a pergola and a pond with many species of ducks, geese and swans stand out, which is why the local population calls the garden “Duck Park”. In recent years, the park has been expanded to link it with the Abandoibarra area.

In the Ibaiondo area is Etxebarria Park ea , built in the 1980s on the site of a former steel mill. An old chimney still rises in the middle of the park as a tribute to the area’s industrial past. The park occupies a large area – almost 19 hectares; its slopes offer a wonderful view of the Old Town.

Arenal Gardens ( Parque del Arenal ) is called the green “gateway” to the historic center in Bilbao, Casco Viejo. Here the city began to grow, and it was there that the port was located, from where Bilbao interacted with the world, acting as a bridge between Northern Europe and the Spanish kingdoms. It is pleasant to spend time in this shady park, walking along its paths among plane trees and admiring the preserved fountains and the old stage. From the southwest side of the park, you can see the neo-baroque facade of the Arriaga theater, and from the west, the beautiful towers of the Church of St. Nicholas.

Other green areas of the city include Europa parkea , Miribilla parkea , and Memorial Alley 3 km long, located on the left bank of the river and connecting the main attractions of the city. This alley-museum of the architect Javier Lopez Chollet links the entire city, from La Naja to Ripa, Uribitarte and even Olabeaga. Memorial Alley runs past the Euskalduna Convention Center, the Guggenheim Museum and Abaddoabarra Avenue. In the part of the alley open to the public, huge lanterns 12 meters high, a children’s corner with an avant-garde swing and an interactive fountain, a terrace cafe, the new Zubiarte commercial area and numerous sculptures, among which Chillida’s Watchman and Dalí’s Ballerina, stand out.

The largest parks – Monte Cobetas Park ( Monte Cobetas) with an area of ​​18.5 hectares and Larreagaburu parkea with an area of ​​12 hectares – are located on the outskirts of the city. Mount Cobetas Park is located in the southwest of Bilbao. At the top of the mountain, which is 205 meters high, are the ruins of Fort Altamira, which was used during the Spanish Civil War. On the first weekend of July, the open air festival Bilbao BBK Live is held here.

South of Bilbao, Mount Pagasarri has been climbed by hundreds of hikers every weekend since the 1870s.

Gastronomy Bilbao

Most traditional Bilbao dishes are based on seafood and fish such as European eel and Atlantic cod. For the most part, Bilbao is characterized by the general Biscay gastronomy, which includes dishes such as bacalao al pil pil (codfish cooked with olive oil, garlic and hot guindilla pepper), bacalao a la vizcaína (salted cod in Biscay sauce, with choricero peppers and onions), merluza en salsa verde ( hake fish with green sauce), chipirones en su tinta (squid served in their own ink), revuelto de perretxikos (omelette with mushrooms).

The most popular desserts are: canutillos de Bilbao (puff pastry with cream or chocolate), p antxineta (puff pastry with cream and almonds), rice cakes and bollos de mantequilla (creamy buns).

Pantxineta is the most typical and main dessert of the Basque Country. It consists of a puff pastry filled with thick cream, topped with almonds and garnished with icing sugar. Usually pantxineta are served warm or reheated, and best of all, straight from the oven. Sometimes they are topped with hot chocolate icing.

As in other Basque cities, Bilbao’s cuisine is known for its wide variety of snacks, among which the most typical and traditional are pintxo ( pintxo – in Basque). They are usually served in bars and consist of small slices of bread, on which a certain snack is placed: seafood, fish, vegetable combinations, potato tortilla, etc. Unlike tapas, pinchos are ordered on their own rather than served with a drink.

Other appetizers worth mentioning are rabas (fried or battered squid rings, usually served with slices of lemon), Spanish tortilla (omelet with eggs and potatoes, sometimes with onions and peppers), txampis (stuffed mushrooms), triángulos (traditional Bilbao triangular sandwiches), gildas (one or more olives, guindilla peppers and anchovies, all joined together with a toothpick).

In terms of drinks, txakoli, a sparkling, very dry white wine, is typical of the region, usually drunk as an aperitif. Biscay chakoli (Bizkaiko Txakolina), served in Bilbao, is a protected brand of white wine produced in the province of Biscay. Also popular in Bilbao are cider, pacharan (patxaran) – a liqueur with the aroma of blackthorn, Rioja wine.

There are a lot of good bars and restaurants in Bilbao that serve all the above-mentioned food and drinks, especially in the Old Town area.

Also in Bilbao and other cities of Biscay, there is such an interesting and popular phenomenon as chocos ( t xokos ) – closed gastronomic societies where people come together to cook, experiment with new ways of cooking, eat and communicate .

The development of txokos has had a significant impact on Basque cuisine. Many traditional dishes that have almost disappeared have been saved or resurrected thanks to chokos. They also brought a lot of new things to Bilbao’s gastronomy, as members of these closed communities often experiment with new dishes, ingredients and cooking methods, and try out different versions of existing dishes. In addition, in chocos, people exchange information on where to get the best quality and cheapest ingredients. All this, in turn, has led to the fact that Basque cuisine is very refined, but at the same time quite affordable.

Events and holidays Bilbao

Among the many festivals and festive events in Bilbao, Aste Nagusia (Great Week) is considered the most important holiday. This festival has been held annually since 1978 and lasts for nine days; 1,500,000 people participate in the celebration.

Festive events begin on the first Saturday after August 15, on the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The festival consists of concerts, dances, stage performances, Basque rural competitions, bullfights, and fireworks at night. Celebrations begin with txupinazo – a solemn launch of a small rocket and the announcement of the opening of the holiday by the festival herald. During the festival, festive tents – txosnas – are set up where groups of artists (konpartsak) gather and perform. The symbol of the festival is Marijaia is a large doll in the form of a chubby lady with her hands constantly raised up in a triumphant impulse.

Several religious holidays are celebrated by the citizens of Bilbao throughout the year, including: February 5 – St. Agatha’s Day, August 15 and October 11 – the holidays in honor of Our Lady of Begogna, December 21 is dedicated to St. Thomas the Apostle. And, of course, everyone’s favorite holiday is Christmas. In the role of Santa Claus, the Basques are a plump little man Olenzero (Olentzero). According to Basque tradition, Olenzero arrives in the city on December 24 late in the evening and distributes gifts to children.

According to popular legend, Olenzero belongs to mythological creatures – Basque giants living in the Pyrenees. In the modern version, Olenzero is a rather cute character, with an excellent appetite. He is usually depicted as a Basque peasant smoking a pipe, wearing a Basque beret and traditional shoes – abarketa.

Bilbao’s cultural events include the Zinebi International Festival of Documentaries and Short Films. It was first held at 1959 as the “Bilbao International Festival of Ibero-American and Philippine Documentary Films” as a complement to the San Sebastian International Film Festival. The festival takes place at the Arriaga Theatre, and since 1981 it has been organized by the City Hall.

Bilbao is also host to the SAIL Festival, an annual sailing event that brings sailors from all over the world.

New Investments and Services in Limassol Marina | Cyprus News

15.06.2022

“With a sales percentage of over 95% for 285 exclusive residential units, Limassol Marina has established itself as one of the most cosmopolitan addresses in Cyprus and the wider Mediterranean ”, says General Manager of Limassol Marina.

He specifically mentions Castle Residences, the gem of the Limassol Marin, as he characterizes it by noting that out of the 61 apartments available, over 80% have already been sold, leaving little to sell.

According to Mr. Pampakas, Limassol Marine has attracted buyers from over 48 different countries, including Cypriots. “The greatest interest,” he points out, “comes from Northern Europe, the UK, Russia, Ukraine and, more recently, the Middle and Far East, while the nationalities of clients who want to buy property for investment purposes vary greatly. ”

Further emphasizing that the Limassol marina is undoubtedly a pole of attraction for tourism on the island, Nikiforos Pambakas is optimistic about the flow of tourists this summer, pointing out that the traffic in the marina in the last period of time, and especially at the beginning of summer increased significantly.

At the same time, for the shopping area, he is announcing some great new restaurants that he stresses will further enhance the visitor experience.

In addition, the general manager of Limassol Marina says that bringing larger vessels to the island is a unique opportunity to keep Cyprus on the world superyacht maritime map and also create a new opportunity to transform the entire industry.

The following is an interview with the CEO of Limassol Marina:

How is the traffic in Limassol Marina today?

Recently the traffic in Limassol Marina has increased, especially now, with the beginning of summer, which makes us especially happy. The alienation and isolation caused by the pandemic in the past two years has led the whole world to learn to appreciate and enjoy life, to gain experience with our people, our family and these images that we see every day from people who visit us in the last time, because this is exactly what Limassol Marina offers them.

What are your expectations for tourism this year and from which markets does Limassol Marina attract visitors?

So far, we are quite optimistic, on the one hand, because of the traffic that we already see, as I mentioned above, and on the other hand, because of the encouraging messages that we receive from the rest of the tourism sectors, such as airports , hotels, travel agencies.

Limassol Marina is undoubtedly the center of attraction for tourism on the island. As for the commercial part, i.e. restaurants and shops, the movement of tourism cannot be defined on a national basis, because both the geographical location and the uniqueness of the project make it an exciting place for everyone who visits the island.

Now, regarding pleasure boats, the owners of the berths come mainly from neighboring countries such as Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and Greece, while recently a few boats have arrived on our island, mainly from countries outside Europe, such as America, the United Kingdom and the Middle East.

When were Castle Residences sold and what percentage has already been sold? What is the buyer profile?

The handover of the apartments in Castle Residences, which is the gem of Limassol Marina, took place in April 2021 and marked the completion of the project, making it one of the most successful development projects in Cyprus.

The luxury apartments of Castle Residences are surrounded by the sea and have unobstructed and panoramic views of the marina, Limassol city and the Mediterranean Sea, and the island on which they are built can only be accessed via a private bridge.

Castle Residences consists of a total of 61 apartments, of which more than 80% have already been sold, and there are very few available for sale.

Limassol Marina has attracted buyers from over 48 different countries, including Cypriots. Northern Europe, UK, Russia, Ukraine and, more recently, the Middle and Far East are of the greatest interest, while the nationalities of clients who wish to purchase property for investment purposes vary greatly.

The common element of all is the fact that Limassol Marina and respectively Limassol and Cyprus have been chosen as their permanent residence, making their investment a conscious choice.

Overall, with over 95% sales of 285 exclusive residential units, Limassol Marina has established itself as one of the most cosmopolitan addresses in Cyprus and the wider Mediterranean region. This is the only development project that offers “life by the sea” in ready-to-let apartments and villas.

Will we see any new developments at Limassol Marina in the near future or some sort of commercial expansion?

It is a fact that the main commercial area of ​​the project is expected to host new and sophisticated restaurants, which will further improve the quality of the visitor experience. In the near future we will be able to publish additional information.

Also, at this stage, we are very excited to launch this year’s updated Trailer Boat Park service, with which we intend to innovate! With a modern and much larger boat dock and storage room, owners will be able to safely park their boats a few meters from the private slipway of the marina.

This new service will offer boat trailer owners a whole new experience by which they can ask the marina crew to take their boat to the designated berth, i.e. into the water, and after they have enjoyed the trip at sea, the crew will take care of to return your boat to a special boat parking lot! This service provides all the benefits of onshore parking and storage, but at the same time, the boat is raised and lowered without any inconvenience to the owners.

This service has already generated a lot of interest and we believe it will be very popular with those who prefer not to dock their boat all the time. We intend to offer excellent services to meet the needs of boat owners as well as the entire shipping community. More information about available packages and pricing for this service will be announced very soon.

There is and is in the works of Marina and in other parts of the island. How do you rate the competition? Do you think that the size of Cyprus justifies so many marinas?

As Limassol Marina, we warmly welcome all new marinas on the island as we firmly believe that they will add value to Cyprus and strengthen the shipping industry while continuing the work that Limassol Marina started.

New developments integrating commercial and residential developments along with a marina for pleasure craft can make a significant contribution to the economy and be a great boost to the tourism product of Cyprus. Due to the diversity of these projects, they become attractive destinations in their own right and in general, offering existing and new visitors the opportunity to visit additional destinations and have a complete experience while learning more about the culture, civilization and natural beauty of our country.

With the development and creation of new modern marinas, the development of the shipping industry will accelerate the growth of Cyprus as a desirable and successful shipping destination, benefiting not only the marinas and maritime ancillary services industry, but the broader economy as a whole.

Since yacht crews spend a lot of money in the local market, bringing larger vessels to our island is a unique opportunity to keep Cyprus on the world chart of marine superyachts and also create a new opportunity to transform the entire industry. Thus, the more superyacht marinas on the island, the better.

It is imperative that the government now make the necessary changes to the rules and legislation governing the construction and operation of such projects in order to support the growing yachting industry, ensuring that Cyprus remains a “friendly” destination to attract visitors and investment in an environment where industry professionals can work professionally.

  Technology companies have priority

  “Turkey’s FDI Document defines FDI as investments that support technological transformation, employment and current account balance,” said Daglioglu.

  He added: “Turkey’s new economic model is focused on production, investment, employment and export, and places great importance on foreign direct investment. ”

  “Turkey is strengthening its position in global supply chains, and from this perspective, international investors are working to expand their presence in Turkey,” Daglioglu added.

  He added, “Turkey also continues to invest in technology start-ups, in addition to completing major investment rounds in the coming years in e-commerce, financial technology, online gaming and logistics technology.”

  As for Turkey in the eyes of international investors, Daglioglu said, “For the CEO of a large international company, Turkey is the only country with a wide geographic diversity from Germany to China, the depth and efficiency of production.”

  It is noteworthy that international companies consider Turkey as the center of production, export, research and development, logistics in the region and develop their business plans accordingly.

  Legislative investment doors

  Daglioglu explained that Turkey, with its strong, resilient and fast-growing economy, provides access to global markets due to its cross-border location with Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as investor-oriented policies that attract sustainable international direct investments.

  He added that Turkey always keeps its doors open for all investors who want to invest under the slogan “Profit Together”.

  Turkey is a reliable and permanent supply base for investors

  In his speech, Daglioglu said that an important element of Turkey’s economic success story is that Turkey is strengthening its position through integration into global supply chains.
