My advice is to set aside at least 2-3 hours. There’s so much to see and absorb, and rushing means you might miss key moments.

Consider downloading their audio guide before you go. It really enhanced my experience and I didn’t want to miss any details in the exhibits.

I recommend getting there right when they open at 10 AM. It was way less crowded, and I could take my time with the exhibits without feeling rushed

My advice is to visit on a Wednesday when admission is free! I went on a weekend and it was super crowded. I could barely enjoy the exhibits.

If you're on a budget, try to grab lunch at a nearby café instead of the museum's café. I spent way too much there and the food was nothing special.

Don't miss the fantastic botanical garden outside! I stumbled upon it by chance and it was a peaceful escape from the busy museum... Perfect for a quick break

I recommend taking a pic of the map when you enter. It helped me navigate the museum much easier instead of wandering around aimlessly like I did at first!

Checking out the on-site café is a must! The coffee was surprisingly good, and it’s a perfect spot to relax for a bit. Just watch out for the pastries, they go fast!

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM to avoid the crowds. I went later and it was packed, making it hard to really enjoy the art!

I think it’s totally worth taking your time in the contemporary art section; it really stands out. I kind of rushed it and regretted not exploring more!

Make sure to grab the audio guide—it's super handy and gives you a lot of background info that you wouldn't get just from the signs!

I suggest going on a Tuesday. It's usually less crowded and sometimes they have free entries or discounts so you might save some bucks!

Don't miss the interactive displays – they’re super fun! I think lots of people overlook them because they rush through, but they really add to the experience.

Check out the gift shop for unique souvenirs. I thought it would just be lame stuff, but I found some cool space-themed items I couldn’t resist!

I think you should definitely explore the gardens behind the house. They’re gorgeous and offer some great photo ops. Just don’t forget your camera like I did!

I suggest visiting La Chascona on a weekday around 2 PM. It’s way less crowded then, and you can take more time to soak in the beauty without rushing through the rooms.

My advice is to take your time in the first hall. I rushed through it thinking the next part would be better, but it turned out to be my fav section!

My advice is to bring your own snacks! The prices for food and drinks at Cine Apolo can be a bit high so I packed some treats and saved a few bucks.
