It was an overall good experience. Could've been a but more organized in terms of time slots n dedicated guides but it was still informative n fun.

Must visit

Bibi_D, Jul 2023

Love the culture and history. The museum was very informative and the sights well preserved. Would definitely recommend.

No tourism

Evelien_V, Feb 2020

Very pretty and relaxing to walk around, nice info boards. But there is no line to skip... There is not a lot of tourism walking around. I don't know the price when paid at the entrance but I'd rather have bought it there at any day I want to go. There are no guides, just boards that you can read yourself in Spanish and English. I suggest to just go and buy the ticket there.
