Museum of Pilgrimage and Santiago

The museum looks at the pilgrimage to Santiago and at the city's own history. It is indoors, close to the cathedral and free, so it fills in the gaps of a rainy day. Check the closing days before you plan it, since it shuts on every Monday.

What to look for

• Rooms on the history of the pilgrimage
• Material on the city of Santiago
• A free stop next to the cathedral

Opening hours

Tuesday to Friday 9:30 to 20:30, Saturday 11:00 to 19:30, Sunday and public holidays 10:15 to 14:45. Closed every Monday, on 1 and 6 January, 1 May and 24, 25 and 31 December.
