Meta review

The online reviews are mostly positive, highlighting the Roman mosaics and strong collection of 17/18th century paintings (among them many from Goya although opinons about their quality is inconsistent) and the splendid courtyard. The free admission also gets recurring mention as does the non-updated and not always functioning website and the frustrating partial openings.

Environmental & Social

We could find no information around environmental sustainability Positive from a social perspective by helping spread the arts and preserve the city and region's historical and archaeological heritages

Conclusion

The Museo de Zaragoza is easily one of the best cultural attractions in the city, blending historical and archaeological aspects with artistic ones (painting and sculptures). The attractive building is an additional draw.

Key positive

A lot of visit-worthy artefacts and paintings on display

Free admission and centrally located

Key negative

Practical info not reliably updated / available on website

Suitability

The website was not functioning at the time of the initial research or this update, so we are uncertain as to whether there is a lift to the upper floor
