Gallery, Palace

The Palacio de Bellas Artes is one of Mexico City's most distinctive buildings and arguably the most beautiful building in the city. Most visitors head here for its iconic white façade and orange dome, but the interior is also interesting, with murals by some of Mexico's most famous artists. 👉 Where to stay in Mexico City. 👉 S afety in Mexico City: where not to go Is it worth visiting?

Museum, Palace

Palacio Postal is one of the biggest surprises of Mexico City's historic centre. From the outside it looks like just another historic building, but inside you'll find one of the most beautiful interiors in the city. Although it still serves as the main post office, visitors can enter the extensive and surprisingly interesting museum. We were most impressed by the palace's beautiful staircase and main lobby. What you'll see here the…

Castle, Museum, Lookout

Chapultepec Castle is one of the most interesting sights in Mexico City and we liked it better than the historic centre. It is not only a historic castle, but also a place with one of the best views of the city. From here you can see the wide Paseo de la Reforma, the skyscrapers of the modern centre and the vast Chapultepec Park. If you only have time to visit one castle or palace during your stay, I would recommend Chapultepec Castle. 👉…

Museum

The National Museum of Anthropology is one of the most visited museums in Mexico and is considered by many travelers to be the best museum in all of Latin America. If you visit Teotihuacán, Templo Mayor or later Chichén Itzá during your stay, this is where you will best understand the history of the civilizations that built these places.

Museum

Casa Azul is one of the most visited attractions in Mexico City. It was in this blue house that the famous Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was born, lived and died. If you want to visit the museum, don't put off buying tickets.

Library

Just a few steps from the National Museum of Anthropology you will find one of the most pleasant places to relax in all of Chapultepec. The Porrúa Library combines a bookshop, café and terrace overlooking Lago Mayor. It is not a classic tourist attraction. Rather, it's a place to grab a coffee, slow down for a while and escape the hustle and bustle of Mexico City. Many visitors head here mainly for the view of the lake, which is one of the…

Library

At first glance, a library; in reality, one of the most interesting modern buildings in Mexico City. The Biblioteca Vasconcelos has earned the nickname ‘mega-library’ and, following its opening in 2006, immediately became an architectural icon of the city. The main attraction is the seemingly endless rows of shelves suspended several storeys high, making the interior resemble a scene from a sci-fi film rather than a public library. 👉Where…
