Museo CajaGranada

Granada


A peripheral location makes this museum a rather under-visited place. It charts Andalucía's history, culture and geography through displays and interactive exhibits that will appeal to children – hence its setting near the kid-friendly Parque de las Ciencias. If you come out this far, it's worth visiting both.

Urban buses C5, S5, SN1, SN2 and U3 serve the area.
