•	'''ARRIVING BY TRAIN:''' There are three different train stations in Bilbao, each one belonging to a different company. Nevertheless, the most important is '''Abando-Indalecio Prieto''' which has connections to all major cities of Spain, including Barcelona and Madrid. It is located in the very Centre of Bilbao, next to the main street (Gran Via), besides, it is connected with the subway, called in Spanish “metro” and 50 metres far from the tram station, both named '''“Abando”'''. Moreover, most of the city buses Bilbobus stop outside Abando-Indalecio Prieto.

The other train stations are run by FEVE which is adjacent to Abando and connects with Santander; and by Euskotren, whose station “Atxuri” is the end point of the tram.

•	'''PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN BILBAO:'''  Bilbao is quite a small city where all the important sites are rather close so the visitors could go all over them in less than an hour walk. However, it also has a good public transport network, consisting of the underground, Bilbobus buses and the tram.

->'''UNDERGROUND-METRO:''' It is formed by two lines that have a common route in the city centre. In regard to the venues of Akademy, the most important stations are San Mames corresponding to the University and Termibus bus station and Moyua, the nearest stop to Bizkaia Aretoa.
