Museo Nacional de Antropología
Enter the Museo Nacional de Antropología. Grab the English leaflet on the first floor to navigate the exhibits of indigenous peoples from Asia, Africa, and America before the midday rush.
10:15
Walk 7 minutes to Museo del Jamón for a light tapas lunch. The hours are Mo-Su 08:00-02:00, so it is open and ready for a mid-morning bite.
11:00
Stroll 6 minutes to El Brillante. This Spanish restaurant is open from 06:30, offering a historic atmosphere to finish your meal or grab a coffee.
Local tip
The museum is free on Saturdays after 14:00 and all day Sunday, but for a quieter experience with full English guidance, the morning opening at 09:30 is best.
