Nathan1260 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Anyone familiar with Gijon, Bilbao and A Coruna Spain and Le Havre, France. 8 night from Southampton booked on Anthem and these are our ports of call. We have no plans to book excursions and would rather take it easy looking round the towns in each port. Does anyone know if the cruise ship Dock is within walking distance of each town or would public transport be required? Also does anyone have any nice cheap suggestions for transport into the towns of each port should it be required if so is this through Royal or local companies?

We saw A Coruna on a trip to the Canary Islands. We took a general tour that hit the major highlights, including a famous tower. However, my tip would be to avoid the porta-potties! Bilbao is famous for the Guggenheim Museum, but I haven't been there. In Spain there is some type of transportation available, and we did a fair amount of walking after our tours. I recall looking up maps on the Internet so I'd be familiar with the ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroggyFlo Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Come on Mickey, you cannot expect to go from le Havre to Paris and back on time to the ship within 1 day!!! I'm French but I've never been to Le Havre, sorry… I'm pretty sure there is some historical part of the city to visit, unless everything has been destroyed in WWII (it is Normandy, after all!).
