Ive never left a google review but i was so impressed with my visit i felt the need to. Upon arrival we were greeted with air conditioning (which was highly needed and very appreciated) and very friendly staff. The actual museum itself is very clean, easy to understand and has a beautiful collection of Roman , Punic and Phoenician history. We took our time looking around but staff was always seconds away if we had any questions. Also wanted to mention that there are kids tables with colouring activities to keep little ones occupied, but the artefacts are interesting enough by themselves in my opinion. After we toured the inside of the museum, we headed outside to see the necropolis, but my favourite part had to be the underground section where you could climb down into and see the tombs. Heading back inside , we were greeted by the same lovely staff (who i forgot to mention speak great English) and not only did they call a taxi for us, they also provided us with water while we waited. The souvenirs here are some of the cheapest and nicest ive seen out of the European countries ive visited and there really is something for everyone. The staff also refused to take any sort of tip or donation. They seemed genuinely happy to do their job and have people enjoy and learn history. Ontop of everything else, it was all completely free. Its a real shame it was so empty (we were obviously grateful to have it all to ourselves though) because it really is worth visiting. It was a perfect way to end our week in ibiza and would...
Read moreThis is a world-class museum that would easily be at home in Madrid or London. The only difference is that this museum is absolultely free. Several well-designed spaces with beautiful artefacts from the Phoenician, Punic and Roman eras - all very touching in their way, a reminder that people in Ibiza loved each other in exactly the same way 2,700 years ago. The tombs themselves are large and impressive. You definitely need the safety helmet they recommend because the ceilings dip in places! But what really bumps this into 5 stars is the staff - I arrived 40 mins before closing on a Friday night and all of the staff were wonderfully welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. I would have spent much longer there if I'd had time. Ibiza can be proud of this museum. Definitely...
Read moreThis was such a great museum, the staff was so friendly and helpful, and it is free! After watching a short video covering the basic history of the island (available in multiple languages), you can go upstairs in the museum to see the artifacts recovered from the burial site and go outside to see the excavated grounds. It was very interesting to see 3 different eras and people buried in the same grave, with separate preparations from the era and culture and to go underground to see the layout of the graves as well as see the shafts from above. Very interesting check-in with history...
