Simply spectacular. Most of the exhibits (apart from the very top floor) are bilingual (Spanish & English) whilst some of them are interactive. The original fossils are simply stunning. We highly recommend that you take the trip to the archeological site too & see some if the demonstrations. It was a first class day...

A very interesting and educational museum for all ages. One can learn a lot about the history of human civilization. Some exhibits are digital and interactive, which makes the experience even more engaging. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must visit if you are in Burgos!

Incredible, elegant and creative display that synthesizes a ton of wild material. English translations of about 90% of the exhibits. Highlight is definitely the French-made models of hominids. Many of the items on display are replicas, but the replica quality is high.

I think at least a full morning or afternoon is needed as there is so much incredible information and displays to take in.

To find this incredible museum in a fairly small city was a revelation. The displays were informative and inspirational, you must visit Burgos to see this museum and all the other wonderful places within its vicinity!

Fascinating and highly informative museum, suitable for most ages from schoolchildren to adults. All exhibits are described in Spanish and English.

Well well well worth a visit if you’re passing through Burgos. Excellently laid out and incredible amounts of exhibitions displaying evolution of mankind with plenty of discoveries from nearby Atapuerca. €4 with credencial. Kudos to the museum!

We traveled from USA. From Madrid airport we rented a car and drove to here. It’s spectacular and very impressive architecture, the Arch of Santa María is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city of Burgos. This is in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. It is one of the twelve ancient access gates that the Burgos wall had in the Middle Ages. It connects the Santa María Bridge, over the Arlanzón River, with the Plaza del Rey San Fernando, where the cathedral is located.

What an entrance this Arch makes. I have seen many arches and this is one of the best. The historical detailing and completeness of this arch is impressive. Its location is just across a short walking bridge, where a lovely walking path runs parallel to the city wall. It leads right into the Cathedral square and makes for a fantastic lead up to the Cathedral. Also makes.for a great meeting place as it is hard to miss.

Super nice, including the bridge behind it. Worth a visit.

Be ready to enter medieval Burgos through this amazing gate, very well preserved. You can even get in for free and admire the fantastic wooden ceilings, the views from the tower, or some temporary exposition inside the rooms.

Beautiful medieval gate linking the paseo del Espolón to the Catedral de Santa Maria de Burgos. Spend some time admiring the intricate carved stonework.

This is the old entrance to the walled city of Burgos. İt has been very well looked after and it gives you the feeling of the ancient times..Afeter a beautiful walk through the park along side the river you enter the holy part of Burgos where you can find the famous Burgos Cathedral.. İt is a woth while effort to visit all these holy monuments and ancient architecture if you are passing close to Burgos city.

Stunning archway in a brilliant city... Here is my review on YouTube. @realspain burgos by nigel baker

The Burgos Cathedral is located in the historical centre of the Spanish city of the same name. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1221 and was completed in 1567. It is a comprehensive example of the evolution of Gothic style, with the entire history of Gothic art exhibited in its superb architecture and unique collection of art, including paintings, choir stalls, reredos, tombs, and stained-glass windows. Burgos Cathedral has the distinction of being the only Cathedral in Spain to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site independently from the historic center of the city it is located in. The visit of the Cathedral lasts 1 hour approx. It is very large, with many small chapels. It is worth visiting slowly. Entry fee at time of writing / visiting : from 10 Euros Free Entry: Entry to the cathedral is free on Tuesday afternoons between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm in the summer (and 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the winter). My way on Camino de Santiago Visited April 2025

One of the richest cathedrals I’ve ever seen! The intricate art and sculptures inside are simply amazing. There is a free audio guide that you can access via your phone. It is hard to listen though while also taking in the beauty of each chapel and artwork at the same time. 😅 This is a must-visit in Burgos!

Espectacular cathedral with a fast and efficient check out service tickets. No matter your believes it’s a must visit. The details of all of the walls and structure is impressive. You would like to spend like at least an hour and a half to enjoy all the places inside.

This may be one of the most beautiful churches I have visited. St Peters in Rome may be grander but the Burgos Cathedral has so many beautiful chapels inside it, each distinct. Some of the chapels are humongous, bigger than small churches. Burgos Cathedral is awesome, a must see!

Huge building. We were to late to visit,as we arrived only in the evening. Impressive building and probably worth to visit also inside. Tickets can be purchased during the day at the entrance. The large squares around the Cathedral are pleasant for a drink or to stroll around with an ice cream.

Burgos Cathedral is one of Spain’s most impressive Gothic landmarks and a true architectural marvel. From the moment you approach its elaborate façade and soaring spires, the grandeur is unmistakable. Inside, the cathedral is equally breathtaking, with richly decorated chapels, vaulted ceilings, and intricately carved choir stalls that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. A particular highlight is the tomb of El Cid and his wife, placed prominently beneath the central dome—an evocative tribute to one of Spain’s legendary historical figures. The Golden Staircase, the elaborate main altarpiece, and the stunning dome above the crossing all add to the cathedral’s majesty. The visit includes access to the Cathedral Museum, which is thoughtfully integrated into several side chapels and rooms. The collection spans medieval to Renaissance periods and includes religious paintings, fine metalwork, textiles, and illuminated manuscripts. Each exhibit is well presented and offers deeper insight into the religious and artistic history of the region. The cloister provides a peaceful contrast to the main cathedral space, and its sculpted tombs add to the sense of history. Overall, Burgos Cathedral is not only a place of worship but a living museum of Gothic art and Spanish heritage. A must-see for any visitor to the city.

A wonderful experience. Well kept for all to enjoy. Pay for entrance when you arrive. There will be busy days/times. We visited fairly early after opening.

Miraflores Charterhouse is an Isabelline style charterhouse, or Carthusian monastery of the Order of the Carthusians, built on a hill about three kilometres from the center of the Spanish city of Burgos.

The main altarpiece of the Charterhouse was carved in wood by artist Gil de Siloé. It's s undoubtedly one of the most important existing works of the Spanish Gothic sculpture,

What a mindblowing beauty! This masterpiece monastery is unbelievably well kept! Worth a detour, you will spend easily 60 to 90’.

Such a refreshing and peaceful trip, I am glad that we didn't skip this place since we were getting delayed for our return. The atmosphere was perfect & more so the beautiful architecture.

The monks made a variety of souvenirs, including watercolor paintings from Korean monks🇰🇷😍👍

Extremely pretty and well maintained. Totally worth seeing. Also had a little exhibition with art belonging to the monastery

It's an interesting place to visit, beautiful art work and building. Worth going if you're nearby but I wouldn't drive a great distance.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting avenue with twisted trees. Plane trees are intertwined with branches, creating amazing shapes. (Original) Bardzo ciekawa aleja z powykręcanymi drzewami . Platany posplatane są ze sobą gałęziami tworząc niesamowite kształty .

Beautiful area. Highly reccomend seeing.

(Translated by Google) Very nice paseo, lots of greenery, lots of statues, inviting, recommended! (Original) Sehr schöner Paseo, viel Grün, viele Statuen, einladend, empfehlenswert!

I find this place very relaxing and peaceful to walk around. Quite clean and near some nice cafes and restaurants. Very enjoyable and something that you will like to return to when you live in this area

(Translated by Google) A beautiful and quiet walk between the Puerta de Santa Maria and the Teatro Principal, very busy and very well preserved. (Original) Paseo bonito y tranquilo , entre la Puerta de Santa Maria y el Teatro Principal, muy concurrido y muy bien conservado.

Service awful never even got served waited 10 minutes the waitress just totally ignored us

(Translated by Google) An iconic promenade in Burgos and a charming meeting place, located between the Arco de Santa María and Plaza de Mio Cid, next to the Arlanzón River. There is a promenade dedicated to Marceliano Santa María alongside the Espolón and overlooking the river, forming a beautiful walkway. The area has good cafes and restaurants. (Original) Paseo emblemático de Burgos y lugar de encuentro con encanto, situado entre el Arco de Santa María y la Plaza de Mio Cid, junto al rio Arlanzón. Hay un paseo dedicado a Marceliano Santa María parejo al Espolón y que da al río, formando ambos un bello recorrido. El lugar dispone de buenas cafeterías y servicios hosteleros.

The food was very good although not distinctive. I’m not sure I will remember the dishes in a few weeks. The setting was perfect. But, the service model is flawed. My waiter was spread too thin, didn’t take my desert order, and never checked back to see if I was satisfied with my meal or his recommendations. That said, the experience overall was nice. I would go again.

Fine food, creative cuisine, excellent combinations. Some of the dishes are really excellent, such as shrimp carpaccio, beef carpaccio, delicious risotto and high-quality steak. The other dishes we ate were less liked. Highly recommended are the last dishes, mango soup and cheesecake.

It was some of the best food we have ever eaten in our 80+ years. The dishes were fresh well developed and seasoned and delicious. Highly recommend.

Special atmosphere, special and great food. We loved the choice of dishes to share and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Wonderful dining experience, if going to Burgos put it on your list. Each course with great combinations and Flavours. Not overpriced and an excellent wine menu to cover all tastes. We'll done to the management and Staff. 5 🌟 well deserved

Great meal. We shared a starter as advised portions were huge! Had the ribeye as a main and it was definitely divine - cooked to perfection - and some lovely chips. Wonderful basque cheesecake for dessert. Really recommend.

We came for lunch. The restaurant has a very pleasant ambiance and the staff was very attentive and English speaking. The food was excellent and well presented. Very enjoyable and highly recommended. Booking is essential, we were lucky to slip in on short notice. Will certainly come back. The set lunch is a steal!!!

Super super tasty, special tapas. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. Just open a bottle of fine and enjoy the day

This place is perfect with lovely kind staff - “Patricia” is so kind and so patient , she tries to help you with her warm attitudes although she is always busy! The food is great and you can pair your fav drinks. The price is so reasonable respect to the quality.We loved this place and we spent a few hours with good food and drinks. Highly recommend

Delicious but super overpriced for Northern Spain, especially for the portion size (about 14 euros for 3 tapas and a coke). Ultimately the portions worked out for me as a solo traveler, but I still recognized the prices were kinda outrageous. Still, it’s a nice, very chicly designed place, and the food itself is good. So go for the ambience or if you don’t have much of an appetite. But don’t come here to get the best bang for your buck. I tried the tempura cod, octopus tacos, and black spaghetti with aioli. The octopus was prob my fav, albeit a tad too saucey; the cod wasn’t very memorable.

Updated 2022. Had much of the same and it's still excellent flavor wise. The presentation of food has slightly gone down though. But not a deal breaker for me. All about flavor and good service. 2021 Review. Enjoyed the food very much. It's rich and flavorful. They have small dish so for a single traveler, I get to taste different food. Service was quick and friendly although it gets busy. Highly recommended! Had ox meatball, black spaghetti with alioli, pork cheeks in chimichurri sause, vegetable tempura, cod tempura, and torrijas for dessert.

Really great spot for tapas at a very good price. We had enough to feed 3 hungry bellies, plus a bit of wine, for 45€! Most tapas were very good, while a few were just ok. Still overall very pleased and would go again! Try the fried cod, tacos del pollo and pulpo as well as the black spaghetti with aioli.

Friendly, quick service, delicious tapas and a perfect desert (media torrija) to finish.

Very busy. Great service from lovely staff. Delicious food. Charged us twice for drinks but refunded without question. Genuine mistake as first paid at bar second paid with waiter.

All the food was amazing!! if you are in Burgos Spain is sooo worthy! The lamb, beef and the Morcilla were espectacular. It’s not cheap but the quality is outstanding.

Best sit down meal we've had in 2 trips to Spain! Highly recommend for a special meal, or any time. Excellent service, fun comfortable environment. Entire staff very welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful with our limited Spanish. Surrounded by tables of happy local families. Recommend booking ahead, as they only serve lunch from 1:30pm It was very easy by the mobile WhatsApp number provided. They were very patient and responsive for booking. We ordered the 'Menu San Lorenzo' with the Cordero lechal asado, 42 euro pp. Includes 5 full size appetizers, a whole roasted leg of local DOP baby lamb, salad, water, bottle of Ribera or Rioja wine, bread, coffee and liquors. Simply cannot get a better meal and for the value! Best leg of lamb I ever had. Succulent, moist, tasty, cripy skin bits were like lamb chicharrones. The Revueltos con setas y gambas appetizer was unbelievable with the fresh crusty included. The aroma of mushrooms when it arrived at the table was so intense. I love morcilla and so should anyone who enjoys meatloaf! Delicious with the sweet roasted peppers. Homemade desserts were exactly what we hoped for, classic Spanish gooey, creamy cheesecake and eggy, toasted caramelly flan. Perfect lightly chilled local red. To finish they drop 2 bottles of digestivios on the table with a couple of frosty shot glasses so you can help yourself!

My husband and I had a delicious lunch@ Asador San Lorenzo today. We were greeted warmly by lovely staff. We went for one of their all inclusive meals, starters, wood roasted leg of lamb which was delicious and fell off the bone. The dinning room is modern, airy and has lots of atmosphere created by the many happy diners! We had a 5star experience from the moment we entered. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Very poor price-value ratio. Tasting menu is 36€, definitely not worth the price. Food is too salty, and small rations. Service is very slow. Had to ask for the check 4 times. I won’t eat there again.

The lamb was hard like leather, and possibly from 2-3 days ago . It was quite disappointing . Ate the end the offer us to come back and have free lunch but the experience was not to comenback . Bad experience !

My wife and I came upon this place on our way driving from La Rioja to Madrid as we were driving near Burgos. We arrived without reservations and were given a table nevertheless. The service was excellent and very professional and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the place.

Restaurants tend to be in hidden corners that you may pass by and not notice. ASL, is one of them! The decorations are quite basic, but the reception warm. You are also greeted at the door with large charcoal oven on the side, where meats are being cooked. Tables are already set with bread waiting. The food arrived not long after we sat down, local black pudding, with red peppers, followed with roasted lamb with a salad and last cheese cake from local cheeses. Coffee arrived to wash it all down, and as a surprise, two small carafes of herbal liquor to top off, and we were done. We were there for 2 hours nearly. We left satisfied as the service matched the food. Disfrutar.

Booked for Saturday lunch while staying 2 nights in Burgos. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this farm to table style restaurant. The dishes were creative, the flavors amazing, and the service exceptional. While the host said he didn’t speak English he was very thoughtful in explaining the menu offerings. It’s three dish price fixe but with an amuse bouche and 2 starters it was more like 5 courses for 35 euro. Exceptional. Can’t recommend enough! Best meal of our entire trip! Gracias!

Absolutely amazing! The staff at this place went out of their way to explain all the food to us in English and help us make the right decision about our orders. The food was some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Wine was amazing. Overall 10/10 and I would suggest this place to anyone who wants an unforgettable meal.

We went on a very nice night during July 2021 and ordered 4 dishes. Food quality was simply amazing! We started with a cherries salmorejo, great sweet and salty combination to replace a traditional classic. We also ordered arancini. Crunchy, very well flavored (cheesy) but also fresh fue to the basil sauce. The entrecot was great, and the smoked flavor made it AMAZING! We highly recommend to order the chocolate dessert. Creamy and fresh.

We came without a reservation and they kindly seated us. We had an amazing meal with lovely service. So great to find a really good restaurant that is open after 2pm! Really excellent.

Such a great place in the heart of Burgos. Excellent quality and service, a must.

Amazing food and wonderful service. As several other reviews have mentioned, the staff were fantastic, really keen to ensure we understood the menu and advising us of things we might like to try. The arranci were amazing as were the candied potatoes with sauces. My steak was perfect, great flavour, and cooked just right. The strawberries in sweet wine made a delicious finish to my meal

This is a fairly nice restaurant very close to the Burgos cathedral, so it is excellently placed. It is small and private, and the service is very personal. The food was quite good, but it didn't blow my mind. Some dishes weren't quite clean in their presentation, but still tasted good!

Well worth a visit. The meal was excellent.

Absolutely loved this place! Came for lunch on a Tuesday without a reservation. It was packed, but they managed to seat us at the bar. We had the lunch menu (three courses for only 12 euro!) and everything we tried was delicious. The service was attentive and very friendly - the chef even came out to see if we had enjoyed the meal. Cannot speak highly enough of this place!

Very good experience even under covid19 circumstances. Everything was clean and very professional staff. Products are super fresh and high quality fish and meat. One of the best bravas in Burgos. High prices well deserved, worth for the amount. The menu is huge and full of options. Hope they will success in this city, they deserve it. Coffee is from Illy, very good temperature and texture. Desserts are premium and home made. I really want to come back to taste more courses.

Good portions of food, nice taste of products and definitely a place that I will come back. Totally recommended!!!

Very bad service. We came for a dinner and waited for 20 minutes for someone to come and take an order, no one came. We tried to ask 2 waitresses, they didn’t speak English and didn’t try to help. Looks like they don’t want you to spend your money here… We left after 20 min of waiting for someone 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wonderful experience. Best restaurant in Burgos!

Delicious food! Highly recommend!
