Itinerary

Palacio de Bellas Artes

one hour Admission not included

We will admire Adamo Boari’s grand palace of architecture and its Art Noveau details on its exterior; its Neoclassical touch in some elements. Later, we will enter and perceive the transition to a marked Art Deco style. We will go up to the second floor and explain in detail the most important murals.
Museo Nacional de Artes

one hour Admission not included

We will admire this palace outside, explain its architecture, details and motives. We will enter the museum and admire and explain in detail on the second floor, the magnum painting on the ceiling of the reception hall. Later we will enter the room of Mexican painters who have influenced art in Mexico and the world.
Palacio Postal

one hour

We will admire the parallel work to the Palace of Fine Arts also by Adamo Boari. We will delight in the blacksmith's motif of its interior decoration. We will describe its origin and motives.
La Opera

2 hours Admission not included

We will enter a historical, gourmet and decorative experience. If the walls of this restaurant will speak, they would testify to talks by presidents, ministers, artists, intellectuals, revolutionaries and ordinary people who in everyday life enjoy international food with a Mexican twist, such as snails in chipotle sauce. As some drink slips down our throats, our ears delight in the trio’s music and our sights in Art Noveau decorative details from over a century ago.
MUPE Museo Del Perfume

one hour Admission not included

We will enjoy the olfactory, visual and refinement experience of the perfume world. An experience similar to delving into the novel The Perfume by Patrick Suskind and Hay Perfumes by Francoise Sagan. We will see the magic of Murano glass containers and the story that accompanies the glamorous world of perfume.
Zinco Jazz Club

3 hours Admission not included

A real speakeasy. In what were the vaults of the Bank of Mexico was installed a hidden Jazz Bar for the daytime world. Where the experience of enjoying live performance of Jazz, Blues and Funk by quality artists is enjoyed while we taste gourmet dishes, a good wine or an elaborate cocktail.
Museo Antiguo Palacio de Iturbide

30 min

The building is a jewel of colonial Mexico. We will admire its exterior architecture and the architectural magic inside, accompanied by the exhibition of that moment.
