Things to do in Zaragoza, Aragon: The Best Specialty Museums

July 21, 2021 Karren Gelb

A rich blend of the historic and modern, Zaragoza sits on the banks of the Ebro River. Stroll in the center of town near San Miguel's pedestrian ways or around the Plaza de los Sitios, where you find boutiques, markets and souvenir shops. A center for gastronomy, Zaragoza offers food and drink for every budget and taste. But tapas is a must! In 2008, Zaragoza hosted the International Exhibition; the Water Tower, Bridge Pavilion and River Aquarium show off of the city's avant-garde architecture.

This display in Spain is something to behold. The artists who made these exhibits must be very skilled. Very cheap admission price and well worth the time to visit in this central location.

A good surprise, as tapistry is remarkable in churches for centuries. A museum with good information available and beautiful pieces exposed.

Located inside the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a large collection of crystal floats. I’ve never seen floats made entirely of glass before and I must say it was one of the most unique displays I’ve seen. I was the only visitor at the time so my experience was quite personalized. Upon entering and paying the entrance fee, I watched a short introduction film about the history of the floats and their construction. As I proceeded through the displays, a narrative played and lights illuminated the floats. Stunning!

Museo del Fuego y de los Bomberos

Reviewed By backpacker31 - Boynton Beach, United States

I’ve been a fan of fire engines and equipment alike since I was a child, so stumbling upon this specialty museum was a real treat, taking me back to my childhood. The collection of fire trucks and other vehicles is fantastic. The equipment and uniforms throughout the decades is wonderful to see - you can even try on some firefighter clothing! The basement houses an extensive collection of rescue equipment (fire extinguishers, pumpers, etc.) and uniforms (paramedic, smoke jumpers, water rescue, mountain rescue, helicopter rescue, etc.). Other exhibits include detailed dioramas, photos of extraordinary fires in Zaragoza, badges, hats and paraphernalia from around the world and more. The staff are absolutely welcoming, informative and engaging - all current or former members of the fire department. I was their last visitor in mid-March just prior to their closing due to the coronavirus pandemic. I hope they will safely reopen in the not-too-distant future so they can continue to welcome fire fighting fans from around the world.
