I love this little shop, Javi and Rosa are the sweetest people always happy and proud to explain fun facts about the Basque Country. You can find some really cool and unique gifts for friends and family. I love their coffee mugs, t-shirts by famous artist Kukuxumuxu, Basque cooking books, jewellery, you name it, they have it and twice as special!

El Museo de la Paz de Gernika nos invita a recordar, reflexionar y perdonar. Además, pretende acercar al visitante la historia del bombardeo de Gernika, la Guerra Civil y el exilio, 3 acontecimientos dramáticos que forman parte de la historia del pueblo vasco.

Well worth the visit. Basque and Spanish; beginning placards are clearly numbered and have translations in a book they hand you English. Later texts are not numbered and become difficult to follow. Five QR codes I tried presumably to get more detailed info all had failing URLs. Artifact and photo captions are not translated, and I'd really love to know what I’m looking at. Much of museum feels like an extended poem on peace, anti-pollution, etc. The historical meat is the smaller section and made my visit by contextualizing the city and displaying insightful artifacts. Clearly much love was put into the presentations, but I'm surprised if the aspiration is to be a modern museum attracting foreigners why English wouldn't be baked in everywhere. Temporary exhibition of cartoons from 1936-7 really well-curated, all with English captions, definitely worth checking out. Bummer all museums in city seem to close 2-4pm. That makes it awfully tough on a day trip. Still, worth the stop for the historical section if not the rhetoric.

The woman at the tourist information office was emphatic that this was the most important place to visit in Guernica--and after I took the short self-guided tour, I better understood why. Beautiful and lovingly preserved space, and the stained glass ceiling in the adjacent room is stunning. You will understand better why Guernica is considered the spiritual heart of the Basque Region after you stop here.

This excellent museum provides a tour of Basque culture and history. The suggested route through the museum is logical, and the audio guide is quite helpful.
