Most booked in Cantabria
Santander on foot
The Centro Botín costs €9 online and €10 at the ticket office, covering the collection and temporary exhibitions. Under-18s and unemployed visitors don't pay. From Tuesday to Friday it closes from 14:00 to 16:00, so check the times for your date.
The Museo de Prehistoria y Arqueología is in the Mercado del Este. The Museo Marítimo del Cantábrico sits between the San Martín headland and Los Peligros beach. Check its hours before you go.
Beyond the city
Altamira, 2 km from Santillana del Mar, costs €3. You see the museum and the Neocueva replica, not the original cave. Cabárceno changes price by date, so look up the rate for your date before you settle your plans. El Capricho de Gaudí in Comillas costs €7 on your own and €10 with a guide.
With only two days, one for Cabárceno and one for Altamira and Comillas is a sensible split.
