This museum was open late so we popped in during our post dinner walk around Cordoba. When we…read moreapproached the ticket counter the staff member informed us that admission was free that evening which saved us 1.5E each. The museum was contained in two buildings. We started upstairs in the modern building which showcased many sculptures, statues, coins and more across Cordoba's history. The highlight were two bronze statues from the Roman era that were recovered by police and just restored in 2024. In the basement we walked above the excavated ruins of a Roman Theatre which would have been the largest in Spain. The Palace of Paz de Castilleja was located next door and we just showed our ticket stub to enter. Unfortunately it was dark and lighting was done so we only had enough time to walk through the courtyards and see the Roman mosaics. Overall a very good museum to checkout while in Cordoba with an admission that can't be beat.

We visited this museum because it was within walking distance to our Airbnb, we could easily get in…read morewith no line, and it was super inexpensive. I would not go out of my way to come here, but if you're in Cordoba and looking for some culture, this is a decent bet. They have a really nice collection of Roman columns from the 1st and 2nd centuries, some Roman mosaics, and there are the ruins of a Roman theater in the basement, but that's not super impressive since it is basically just ruins and you can't even really tell what it used to be because it was mined for materials in later years. Only downside to the visit was the rather surly desk attendant who was not very customer service focused.

I have mixed feelings about the Medina Al-Zahara experience. I mean, it's an AMAZING site - how…read moreoften do you get to see a 10th century city?! My review is more about the curated experience, I suppose. The experience begins with a movie (with subtitles) that does a great job explaining the site and its history, and there's a truly terrific museum next to the auditorium that is well-curated and well-laid out. But the actual archeological site can be a bit hard to really understand, and it's so far from the museum (you take a green bus to get there) that it can be hard to remember what the spaces you are seeing were actually used for. The placards that are out in the field are pretty dry, and I found myself wishing for interactive displays at the site to bring it to life a bit more, and to explain what the site itself reveals about life in 10th century southern Spain. I could imagine some really cool displays that show where the vessels, jars, and bowls from the museum were actually found. I just wish some of the smart, technologically sophisticated museum displays had made their way to the archeological site. Moreover, I found the constant payments -- for the bus to the site, for entry to the site, for the green bus that takes you from the museum up the hill -- kind of annoying and I wish they had rolled it all into one fee. It's worth seeing, but hold in mind that it isn't flawless.

Wonderful Science park in Granada. Different large areas to discover. Well adapted for kids (tried…read morewith 2 & 4 years old). Also great areas to play as well. Play and learn. Great mix. And awesome facilities. Pity that, as most of the time in Spain, the main highlights are closed during lunch/nap time. It's best to realize this at the beginning of the visit to plan ahead.

I did find it a little basic, perhaps more aimed at older children than the youngsters we had. But a good day all the same.

Visiting the Cuevas de Sacromonte was a really interesting experience. We took a tour and it was a…read moregreat choice, we learned about the history of the caves, how people once lived in this part of Granada and all the details were very interesting, We also enjoyed the beautiful views and took lots of photos. For us, it was worth the visit and taking the tour, We enjoyed the walk down as well, even though it's a bit steep, it's nice to see the neighborhood along the way. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes.

Always on reconstructed sites--in this case, the medieval Santas Cuevas (Holy Caves)--one worries…read moreabout authenticity. How did the moroscos, gypsies (Roma/Gitanos), and early Christians--hiding from enemies over the centuries--actually live? The emphasis here is on Sacromonte's more recent 19th century heritage rather than medieval. An especially nice feature is the emphasis on the area's ecology--insects, plants, topography--and the cave dwellers' lives building on the assets nature had provided. Charming, helpful personnel run the museum.
