    Really interesting. I love history. Dedicated to San Francisco's life. Lot of paintings indigenous influenced. The building was a Franciscan convent. The church and museum are worth a visit.

    The collection itself boasts some rather interesting examples of religious painting, but you don’t really get to enjoy them as the museum’s administration is ridiculously overprotective. Not only you are not allowed to take photos with or without flash (which I can totally understand and accept although I don’t really find necessary), but even visiting the place without a museum staff member is strictly forbidden meaning that you will not have enough time to look closely at the objects and read the labels. After the tour I tried to negotiate for permission to revisit some of the rooms by myself, but they won’t let me do it. So unless you are a fan of running through museums at a rate of knots while listening to totally superficial and non-informative explanations this is a place to avoid.

    Hotel service personnel try to charge me more than ten times the price of booking on the website Through the translation of the accommodation passengers and the information I have communicated with him for a long time, the service staff will be denominated at the original price. This is a very bad experience

    Really surprised by this. Hoped to have a wander around, but ended up with a tour (just my wife and I). Tour guide was outstanding. Really interesting and went to lots of places you don't without a tour guide. Had a great hour or so.

    Definitely recommend visiting the museum and cathedral if you are staying in La Paz. Good activity to do on a slower / quieter day. Tour guides take you around the museum and part of the cathedral. Tours are available in English. Our tour was slightly rushed so a few rooms we didn't have time to read all the information about the place and purpose of each room. The tour did however take us to the top of the cathedral which we were not expecting so was a nice surprise. Good view of the plaza from the top and of the bell tower.

    I really recommend you to visit San Francisco. You will find ancient things that were used for eucharist and processions, in addition to old paintings and has guides who speak English, French and Spanish.
