Museums to choose from
Visiting a museum
Give each major museum half a day, and visit early. We book your guide and entry, and confirm opening days when we plan your trip.
Good to know
Photography rules differ between museums, and some charge extra for cameras, so ask your guide on the day. The big museums are busiest around midday and calmer early in the morning. A guide turns a long walk past glass cases into a story.
