Itinerary

Chapultepec Castle

one hour Admission included

With an area of 647 hectares, Chapultepec Forest is one of the largest oases in Mexico City. The entrance to the forest shows us the Monument to Children Heroes, face the challenge of climbing the small hill crowned by Chapultepec Castle, which was an imperial palace and presidential residence.
Museo Nacional de Antropologia

2 hours Admission included

This world-class museum stands in an extension of the Bosque de Chapultepec and is a highlight of visiting CDMX. Its long, rectangular courtyard is surrounded on three sides by two-level display halls. The 12 ground-floor salas (halls) are dedicated to pre-Hispanic Mexico, while upper-level salas show how Mexico’s indigenous descendants live today, with the contemporary cultures located directly above their ancestral civilizations. The vast museum offers more than most people can absorb in a single visit.
El Angel de la Independencia

Passing by

Lovingly called El Ángel, the independence monument on Reforma Avenue in Mexico City is an unmistakeable symbol of Mexico’s capital. Golden and glorious, the winged statue of victory hovers above the traffic, chaos, protests, and tourists that pass beneath her feet each day.
Alameda

Passing by

The Alameda Central is the grand city park of Mexico City. Easily one of the oldest city parks in the Americas, the Alameda has been a symbol of the city, through good times and bad, for more than 400 years.
Palacio de Bellas Artes

Passing by

The Palacio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts) is a prominent cultural center in Mexico City. It has hosted some of the most notable events in music, dance, theatre, opera and literature and has held important exhibitions of painting, sculpture and photography. Consequently, the Palacio de Bellas Artes has been called the "Cathedral of Art in Mexico".
Museo del Templo Mayor

30 min Admission not included

Built from an islet in the center of the lake, Mexico City grew with a network of canals and artificial islands, and the Templo Mayor took shape. The Spaniards built on it the Metropolitan Cathedral and the memory of the old and imposing pre-Hispanic temple was lost for centuries.
Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica

30 min Admission included

Inside this grandiose colonial palace you'll see Diego Rivera murals (painted between 1929 and 1951) that depict Mexican civilization from the arrival of Quetzalcóatl (the Aztec plumed serpent god) to the post-revolutionary period. The nine murals covering the north and east walls of the 1st level above the patio chronicle indigenous life before the Spanish conquest.
Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de Mexico

15 min Admission included

The Metropolitan Cathedral is without a doubt one of the most important buildings in Mexico City’s historical center. Beyond its religious significance, it contains a summary of five centuries worth of Mexican art and architecture. Built on the remains of an Aztec temple in what was the center of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, the colonizing Spaniards built the most grandiose church in all of the Americas. Its imposing size, fascinating history and beautiful art and architecture make this one of the most outstanding buildings in the country.
