Considered one of the world's most comprehensive natural history museums, this famous institution houses four square kilometers of exhibits in 23 exhibition halls.

This has long been one of the World’s great museums. Everything about it is beautiful. Wondering in an out of the dramatic exterior and interior spaces, an architecturally brilliant and dramatic courtyard covered by what must be the world’s largest free-standing canopy - all held by a single post, like an umbrella - one is awed by the thousands of mesmerizing relics, artifacts and the pieces of monolithic art, all testament to remarkable ancient civilizations, now largely destroyed. The impact is unforgettable. One question kept creeping into my mind in this third visit: Where is the gold? Was it taken to Spain?

One of the best museums I've visited lately, a hidden jewel of Spaniard / Mestizo colonial art, superb exhibits and more. The best part are those baroque altarpieces inside, worth for a 1000 pictures and incredible detailed. They also include a couple of exhibits including Oriental Art (mostly Japanese and Chinese). Recommended for history buffs and art lovers. Tepotzotlan is a great please to visit during weekends in you leave in Mexico State or Mexico City. Entry ticket is a little expensive (~100 Mexican Pesos per person, by aware), and would recommend to visit if you have a car because Uber will be expensive and you may face traffic jams in the highway.

We visited this place and transported ourselves back in the 1800s, they have many things used in the old times, we learned a lot of the history of some things we never knew existed, staff was friendly and we enjoyed our 2 hour visit.Thank you very much for visiting the museum. Better yet, give a good opinion about our work. Thank you very much Bryan! Best regards Markus Frehner

Difficult to imagine visitors to Mexico City not including a visit to the Diego Rivera museum. The scope and grandeur alone are phenomenal, not to mention to artistry. In less than two hours one can get a solid understanding of the tragedy of the Spanish conquest of the indigenous peoples and the horror of the process. Truly unforgettable.
5. Palacio de Bellas Artes

4.5 based on 8 reviews
This historic white marble building serves as both the city's top performance hall and an art museum.
Reviewed By JDSoui - Irving, Texas
The exterior of the building is simply amazing along with the interior.
The reason for the average ranking was due to sections of the museum being closed and/or not accessible. The exhibits on display were a more modern and that was not anticipated. The murals and paintings on the second floor though are simply breath-taking.
A recommendation for the public is this museum is a bit different in respect to having more modern displays than other museums such as the Prado in Madrid.
This is a must-see for the architecture and depending on ones taste for art, the expositions may or may not fit your taste.
6. Museo Memoria y Tolerancia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
The Memory and Tolerance Museum delinates -in a didactic manner- the historical memory of the multiple genocides and crimes against humanity. The visit warns the viewer of the danger of difference, discrimination and violence in order to engender responsability, respect and consciousness in each and every person. Contemporary subjects are also presented in order to lead us to reflect on the role we wish to play in our every day lives. Tolerance, diversity, dialogue and empathy force us to see the commitment we all have to humanity. The visitor is invited to be generators of change through social action.

This 18th-century palace, known for its impressive Gardens, served as the home of the Mexican President until 1939 and now houses the famous Museo Nacional de Historia.
Reviewed By cledson L
I highly recommend visiting this amazing place. It’s good for all peoples of all ages. The entrance fee is very affordable and the walk through the Museum is amazing. The whole park has much more to offer and you’d need at least two days to see it all. Note: the walk from the bottom up to the castle is a bit long but the management offers an elevator for people who can’t do it. It’s a must see!!!

This museum has three floors of exhibit halls, arranged by topic, such as religion, death, and home. The section on "the fantastico" is great! There are also videos and music showing the art being used in celebrations. The larger pieces on the ground floor are used on floats in parades, and they were moving some of them out for that purpose when we visited. Children have free admission, and the entire museum is light and airy. Highly recommend!

Seriously, I did not realize how gorgeous this was until seeing this in person. What's wonderful about this is it's not just the architecture they have vintage displays of original postal documents, postal bags, postal uniforms, vending machines. Totally loved it!

Coyoacan, a former village and now one of the 16 boroughs of Mexico City, is a historic center. It is a popular place to visit, especially on weekends, because many of the original layouts, plazas and narrow streets have been preserved and date from the 16th to the early 20th centuries.

We went there on a Sunday which was busy but so nice. It was awesome just walking around and looking at all the old buildings. Our favourite place was the Jardin Centenario which was a beautiful square with big mature trees and Fountains. There are many restaurants in that square with patios and we had a great lunch there. There is also a market nearby which was crowded but quite interesting. A must see for sure when visitin CDMX.
