“Worth a visit at least to say you have been there.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 28, 2012

Let's face it, there isn't a ton to do in Burgos, so this is one of the star attractions. For less than 10 Euros (with student id), I was able to get an admission ticket to the Museum of Human Evolution, a bus ride to Atapuerca, and a tour of Atapuerca. I signed up a day prior, which is a... More
