Palacio Consistorial, Region of Murcia, Spain
4.5 (251 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Municipality of Cartagena Points of Interest & Landmarks
One Euro!
This is a little known deal, but a terrific budget tip. When you walk in the Palacio, there is a rope blocking the entrance and guards. You are welcome to go in, you just have to have your bag checked. To the left is a little table with a sign that indicates the next tour time. In days there is a cruise ship in port, most of the tours are in English. The tour cost 1E per person and is well worth it. Our tour guide, Valeri, guided us through the building and gave us interesting stories about the building and the government entities that call it home. She also generously took pictures of anyone who wanted their picture taken in counsel chamber or on the grand staircase. The Palacio is an easy walk from the port and one of the first things you come to on the left as you walk from the port up Calle Mayor.

Go inside!
You can't miss this beautiful building but it's not obvious that there are guided tours inside - unfortunately only in Spanish - but as you are viewing the amazing Council Chamber, secretary's office and Cabinet/Committee Room it's not important. The tour costs only 1 euro and lasts 45 minutes but if you can't afford that just go inside to see the magnificent staircase. Tours are hourly from 10.30am.

An impressive and attractive building
This is one of the most attractive and impressive buildings on the waterfront. It looks as though they do tours sometimes, and I say that simply because there were signs in the lobby saying “no tours today”. The Tourist Information Centre can also be found in this building, albeit via another door at the corner of the building,ie towards the harbour.
