5. Prehistory and Archaeology Museum of Cantabria

This museum is incredible. Just WOW ... I was blown away!! I like this sort of historical museum and have recently seen the likes of New Grange (near Dublin) or the History Museum in Bordeaux (Musée d'Aquitaine) which has a lot of information about cave art and details the same period, but honestly this museum of Cantabrian Prehistory was an absolute gem, and a MUST SEE. I learnt so much about the history of the region. The displays are beautiful, English translation is widely offered on exhibits. Because I enjoy this sort of place I visited the archaeological museum in Bilboa, which was okay ... but really and truly Santander sets the benchmark for me. Beautiful exhibits, friendly staff, very good entry fee. This museum alone is worth visiting Santander for. Wonderful. The imagination, communication and knowledge of the curators is incredible. They have created something truly special.

This funicular is quite a new phenomenon for Santander. It has been transporting citizens for free since 2008. Working hours are very convenient: from 6 am to 12 PM. The cabin is large and can accommodate 20 people. Even the bike will fit if You want to climb up with the bike. However, the main motive for the tourist is the wonderful views of Santander. Perhaps the best views.
