The entry ticket was 4€ which is not much. The building looks well maintained and the atmosphere takes you back in time. A fitting place for a museum. The artifacts on display were interesting and each room had a distinct theme. You'll want to look at the building as much as at the artifacts. It's not that big a place so you'll probably look through it in an hour or so. I kinda wished it had been a bit bigger place but other than that a very good experience.

Interesting facts about the voyages of Columbus.The museum is small and quaint, one feels the history. The portrait of Columbus nice to see so one doesn't have to imagine what he was like. The history of his voyages is very complete, and leaves one feeling a bit more knowledgeable about his discoveries. There were 2 beautiful large parrots in the atrium of the museum adding to the atmosphere. We went on a sunday and were pleasantly surprised that it was free entry.

We went here and we were very impressed. The building itself is architecturally fantastic and in very good condition. The exhibits and information, particularly the maps, were displayed in an informative way. Reduced price of 2 Euro for over 65's and they didn't ask for proof so I guess I look my age!

Excellent Museum, charting early Atlantic Trade routes, ancient Maps and Pottery from the Americas. Fabulous building, including extensive Cellar. 2 very loud Macaws, wandering the ground floor!

We visit the outside of the building when on a day tour of Gran Canaria. So time did not allow us to do everything but that said we had a couple of hours in the area which is full of interesting buildings/churches. Make sure to pop to the left hand side of the building to see an interesting statue.

Excellent and well thought out displays in many rooms on the ground and first floors, including rare art work. They had all the information of Christopher Columbus's journeys in both Spanish and English. Definitely I recommend a visit here!

I was able to photograph the Columbus House from the outside on a previous visit to the island. Visiting was a priority for me on this trip and I wasn't disappointed. The for governor's house is a really good museum dedicated to Columbus and his journeys. Exhibits include a mock up of Columbus' quarters on the Santa Maria, a lavish courtyard and paintings, navigation instruments, and documents from the explorer's career. Models of the ships are worth seeing, and the colonial style of architecture, and riad-courtyards made for a lovely natural air conditioning on a 30C plus day. Disability access within the museum was good with a ramp to enter, and good flat floors within. A lift is available to reach the upper level. The entrance fee was waved for me as I was in a wheelchair, and my wife as carer was also given free access. The area immediately around the museum does provide a little difficulty with cobblestone roads and a steep-ish hill. I am really happy I made this stop.
