Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica

Reviewed By LHOVancouver - Vancouver, Canada

Free entry with lineup and Pass. Inside the upper Corridors (second level) of the Palacio. Reminder no English descriptions so bring a guide or Book. You'll see ancient to modern. Diego Riviera foresaw the rise of Hitler and other Fascist regimes in his paintins (this done early 1920's). Also look for His self-portrait and that of his lover/wife, Frida Kahlo (on the final panel!) Good luck and enjoy!

Zocalo

One of the largest public plazas in the world, the Zócalo is the heart of Mexico City and is one of the city's most famous attractions.

Reviewed By susanaquerida - Vancouver, Canada

We saw the zocalo for the 2nd time at Christmas. Wow. The lights on the municipal hall, there was a stage for performers, an ice rink, it was amazing. Of course it's very crowded, but that's Mexico City.

Polanco

One of Mexico City's more upscale neighborhoods with a variety of interesting shops and quality restaurants.

Reviewed By MarinaB650 - Merida, Mexico

A very elegant and eclectic residential area, where most of the Embassies are located. I have visited the Embassy of my country and took the opportunity to walk the elegant streets of Polanco, guarded and shaded by majestic pine trees and palm trees. Palacio de Hierro is close-by, high international cuisine restarurants and a general atmosphere to make one believe one was in Beverly Hills. I would definitely live here if I ever move to CDMX.

Plaza San Jacinto

Selected artists gather at this city square to display and sell their works.

Reviewed By theresahZ9359CE

The plaza itself is a nice resting place for people watching but it's the surrounding shops, restaurants and accommodations that get 5-stars! Saks restaurant food & service are 5☆, and the tequileria is an homage to this favoured drink. The galleries and fine shopping in the white marble hotel across from Saks, highlights Mexican artists and designers. Shops line the street at the top of the plaza supporting rural Mexican artisans still handmaking clothing, other textiles & products to beautify your home.

Museo Frida Kahlo

The lifelong home of Frida Kahlo is now a museum dedicated to the work of this famous 20th-century artist.

Reviewed By Seanspacifica - St. Albans, United Kingdom

I highly recommend visiting the Frida Kahlo museum, and if you’re English it’s worth paying the extra pesos to have an audio guide. The house is beautiful with so many original artifacts and paintings, and it’s a great way to get a feel for the colourful character that Frida Kahlo was. It’s a very popular attraction so to avoid VERY long queues, it’s best to book ahead.

Paseo de la Reforma

Mexico City's main street runs through an upscale residential neighborhood as well as the city's historic district.

Reviewed By vagabondginger - San Diego, United States

This wide avenue runs for miles and shows the architecture of Mexico City from the historic areas around the Zocolo to El Angel to Chapultepec Park and then to the "new". Mexico City with modern sleek new skyscrapers that look like works of art. This boulevard is designed after those in Europe with benches, median gardens, fountains, public art exhibitions, many monuments like statues honoring Christopher Columbus and the equestrian one with Charles IV of Spain. It has wide walkways, good lighting, is clean and safe. Driving it or walking, it's the main artery of Mexico City.

This bucolic park has a long history dating back to the era when it served as an Aztec marketplace.

Reviewed By leuveen

A spacious park close to the historical centre, with plenty of benches, fountains and sculptures. A great place for a walk and a break after sightseeing.
