Opinions about Sacromonte Museum in Granada
A must see museum in Granada

It's a bit of walk uphill to reach the museum but the views on the way are amazing. This is a must see museum, probably there is no other city in Spain that has the museum about gypsies life, at least of this size.
Very good information posters

Museum has about 10 caves, each cave shows a different aspect of gypsies’ life.
It’s a 20 minutes’ walk uphill to get there starting from Paseo de los Tristes, if you are not fit probable it is better to take a bus or a taxi. If you walk, take some water and bring your walking shoes.
Great museum and fantastic view of the Alhambra

Lots of written information in English and signs so you need at least an hour to see and read everything. People actually lived in these caves until recently.
The entry fee is 5 euros, very reasonable price.
There is also a nice snack bar, so you can have a cold beer and enjoy the fantastic view of the Alhambra and the mountains.
Authentic caves inside the rock

The museum shows 11 houses caved inside the rock with beds, furniture, traditional crafts, tools for farming and other elements of everyday life.
Also you can enjoy amazing view of Granada and the Alhambra.
Practical advice

If you have a car, do not drive; do not risk getting a fine, this area is full of restricted zones only local residents to pass through. Just take a bus or a taxi.
Taxi would cost you 6-8 euros from the centre of Granada, if you are a family of four it would be almost the same as paying 4 bus tickets.
