    Best Museums in San Cristóbal de las Casas: Which Ones to Visit

    San Cristóbal has many small museums, but they are not interchangeable. For a first visit, the strongest choices are Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya for Maya textiles, Museo del Ámbar for Chiapas amber, Na Bolom for regional cultural history, and Museo de la Medicina Maya for traditional medicine. Choose by interest rather than trying to visit every museum.
