Be sure to visit the Guggenheim Museum – it’s a must-see, even if just to marvel at the outside of the building.

Tour the building to take in its maritime theme, supposedly representing the ships along the docks of the city, with titanium squares acting as fish scales and the skylights inside designed to look like fish fins.
