Tickets for the Evita Museum can be booked in advance through the official website. Adult tickets are 1.5 euros and free for EU citizens. It is recommended to book at least 1 day in advance, especially during the peak season (June-August) and on weekends. If you do not make an appointment, you will have to queue up on site to buy tickets, and there may be a risk of flow restrictions.

The museum is closed on Mondays, so avoid planning on this day.
Choose to enter in the morning, when there are fewer people and it is easier to take clean photos in front of popular exhibits.
