Best places: Local history museums in Mexico

Visitors to the remains of ancient Mayan city Cobá can climb Nohoch Mul, the area's highest pyramid.

👍👍 They serve a delicious, clean, red or white menudo at the restaurant located in the grounds. Some days you might have a wait depending on the time you arrive (which is to expected when it's a place that serves good food). Plus the saloon "bar" serves Yummy micheladas. I'd recommend to go their while...

Regional history museum with 6 exhibition rooms of artifacts in a 16th-century colonial convent.

😐 Friendly, helpful staff. Museum is about half dedicated to colonial era forward. More of a History and Anthropology Museum than an Anthropology and History Museum. Native people before Spanish contact are portrayed as extremely primitive. Learned more about the Native people more from Wikipedia. The...

😐 It’s a very nice place to visit and probably dine. The best part was that restaurant manager at the end came to get feedback, which is a super good sign for any organization. As I said the ambiance and decorations are good with special taste but here are some point for improvement 1- we were there f...

👍 This place has its own place in Mexico's history. Home to Dominican congregation in 16th century, it received two major events, first one being the shooting of Vicente Guerrero (2nd mexican president), and the second being the visit of the Pope Juan Pablo II in 1979.

👍👍 Luis, one of the owners, is super outgoing and very happy to share about the Posh making process. What he is doing, by bringing the ancient traditional food and drink into the tourist knowledge, is important. The atmosphere in the restaurant is stylized and intentional: a great place to spend time.

Refined lodging in a former mission, with rustic spaces, modest rooms, & free Wi-Fi & breakfast.

👍👍 Great experience and lots of info related to Ciudad Juarez. I don't know if it's free entrance but was included in the Turibus tour that starts close to the American Consul.

Museum featuring exhibits on the history of Mérida from Mayan times to the present.

Exhibits & artifacts highlight the city's culture & history in a preserved home with a courtyard.

👍 Sin costo la entrada, solo donación voluntaria. Hay una persona que te guía y va explicando la historia y diferentes partes de la casa.

👍👍 I think that with so many photos that I uploaded, there are many coriander sculptures, paintings, abstract works of all, a bit audiovisual, clean, very friendly people and if they want the greatest of all Sundays, it is free, so to attend with the family with children is very interesting there are...

🫤 I would not recommend going to the museum as most of the information is not very indepth and you don't learn more than reading the Wikipedia entry. The pulque was okay. Rather than going to the museum go to the pulqueria section and google what pulque is while enjoying your drink.

👍👍 Great small museum with a bunch of different sarapes on display, as well as tools to make them. Entrance is free and so is the tour of the museum (in Spanish)

👍 Es un pequeño museo, creo que deberían de tener más artículos, para hacer más Visual el lugar. Es un lugar lleno de historia, así que seguro pueden conseguir más artículos y llenar las habitaciones. El Guía explica muy bien. Cuesta 25 pesos la entrada! Te tardas unos 20-30 en dar el recorrido

👍👍 El lugar es muy bueno, es muy accesible $40 adultos cuenta con estacionamiento, Lo recomendaría para niños que ya saben leer bien, el museo es didáctico sin embargo si no saben leer los peques termina siendo aburrido para ellos! El personas excelente la atención es increíblemente buena instalacione...

👍👍 Para las personas que aman los lugares boscosos, este es el mejor sitio por visitar sin tener que conducir muy lejos. En estos puentes el ambiente es muy tranquilo, perfecto para desconectarse de la ejetreada vida de la ciudad. Incluso me atrevería a decir que es un sitio perfecto para una cita y...

18th-century home & museum to Ignacio Allende, a notable leader of Mexico's independence movement.
