Bilbao
Bilbao, the third KLM destination in Spain, located in the northern part, is one of most populous metropolitan areas in Northern Spain. The city is widely acknowledged for its scrumptious cuisine and architectural masterpieces. The famed Bilbao Guggenheim Museum is hailed as one the most astonishing architectural buildings of the 20th century. The museum was not just an artistic and cultural amenity, but symbolized the city and society’s wish to change.

Zagreb
Zagreb is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Croatia. It has an extensive history dating back to Roman times. If it’s a change of scenery you desire, the city offers a modern edge too, located in the lower part of the city, with striking buildings and parks, reflecting the city’s standing in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
