What museums to visit in Cartagena?

Cartagena is one of the oldest cities in Spain, with no more and no less than twenty-three centuries of history behind it. Its Roman, medieval and military history make it one of the most culturally interesting cities in the country. Therefore, there are many activities that can be done to enjoy all its museums and soak up its rich past.

 

The most famous museums of Cartagena

If we go to the essence of this city located in the region of Murcia, then we have to talk about the Roman Theater Museum of Cartagena, the Naval Museum, the Municipal Archaeological Museum, the Civil War Museum and the National Museum of Archeology. All of them have an unparalleled cultural interest. Thus, in the Roman Theater Museum, as well as the Museum of the Roman Forum neighborhood, we find a journey to ancient times and the heart of Rome in Spain.

The Naval Museum and the Civil War Museum have a perhaps more military character, but also of great historical value that makes them two great references in the region. 

Finally, in the archaeological museums, which are the essence of this port of cultures, we find a journey through the archeology of Spain, with authentic archaeological jewels, with hundreds of years behind them. The most interesting thing is that here, as in the previous museums, you can take guided tours to learn more about history, as well as do workshops, which is ideal for a family trip. Of course, if we are going to visit the city, it is advisable to make a reservation in advance in some of these museums due to the high existing demand.

 

 More cultural activities in Cartagena

In addition to museums, you can also go to concerts to enjoy live music. The city of the region of Murcia has become a reference for artists and therefore, the musical program of Cartagena is also a great option to enjoy our visits to the city.

Beyond music and museums, Cartagena is a great option to see its Christmas lights in the historic center, take a walk to the city castle, enjoy its gastronomy in a historic square or, of course, go to a play in the famous and imposing Roman theater. In addition, in some of these activities, designed for children and adults, you can have access with free admission.

One of the best accommodation options in Cartagena is the B&B Hotel Cartagena Cartagonova. A few meters from the city center, it is one of the best options to plan our visit, since we can go to all the points of interest from the hotel taking a short walk. It is the best cheap hotel in Cartagena, an ideal option to go sightseeing, enjoy its museums, its night and all the charms of the city.
