4.5 (251 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #1 in Province of Burgos Natural History Museums

If you are in the area...

To be able to see this much anthropological history in one place spanning so much time is well worth the twenty minute drive from Burgos

, Atapuerca, Spain.

Surprisingly informative, fun tour of old archeological site
The visitors centre is close to town and after seeing it, you can take a tour of the actual site where the earliest humans were found in Europe, led by an archeologist. The site is about 15 minutes bus ride from the visitors centre and you can see where they have and still are excavating with very detailed descriptions (in Spanish) of the techniques and the finds. Many relics are in the Burgos museum that is a day's walk away and complements the visit nicely.

Especially fun for kids to learn about Neolithic Man
This is an excellent museum for kids to discover and learn about prehistoric Neolithic Man. There are lots of ways they can interact and see how stone tools were made, and what they were used for, different types of simple dwellings et cetera. For a small extra fee they have guided tours (in Spanish) mainly about the tools prehistoric Man made and used, and how to make them. It is a great way for kids to learn about this.
