Huge museum, amazing exhibition halls, everything sehr explain, a wonderful way to get to know about the beginnings of Mexico's history and all about the prehispánico cultures, great guides, beautiful spaces, a shame the moctezuma´s headress is a copy, the original is in Vienna. Must visit!

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!

This is a wonderful and fascinating place! My favorite part was the various music machines (Edison's phonograph, radios, an art deco jukebox) and they are in working condition so you get to listen to music! Our tour guide Marion was fantastic and spoke perfect English. Be sure to have 5 pesos so you can use the jukebox. This a cash-only museum.

The ruins of the temple the Aztecs believed to be center of the universe.
Reviewed By murali8121 - Kochi (Cochin), India
Located in the historical centre next to the Metropolitan Cathedral and the national Palace. Open 9.00 - 5.00 except Mondays Entry ticket 80 pesos Time required to see two hours and more depending on interest The temple construction began around 1325 and was rebuilt multiple times. The Spanish partly destroyed the temple to make way for a cathedral in 1521. Templo Mayor was built as the main temple in the ancient capital city of Tenochtitlan for worshipping the God of war Huitzilopochtli, and Tlaloc, god of rain and agriculture, on top of pyramids with separate staircases. Do not miss the museum behind the excavations which exhibit plenty of the findings in several floors.

This 1,600-acre bucolic park has enough activities to fill days at a time and is particularly popular among families with children.
Reviewed By 759elib - Sydney, Australia
Its got to be one of the largest, best planned green spaces in the world, twice the size of NYC’s Central Park. There are nine museums within its confines giving me access to some of the best art and artefacts in the entire city. Lungfulls of clean oxygen in a city chocking with pollution. One of my fav spots is home to the Fuente de Tlaloc and the Carcamo de Dolores, featuring two of Rivera’s more unique and lesser known works of art- the massive mosaic tile fountain and mural. Its nice to sit and contemplate one’s navel or watch the never still locomotion of the populace at play or rest. I am in the reading garden audiorama sitting on the comfy multicoloured bench while all around me children, elderly folk and tourists like me take time out to let this marvel of great planning, seep- in and invade my pleasured sensorium. Its perfectly positioned opposite the amazing Anthropological Museum on the Paseo de la Reforma. Its a zig-zag kind of adventure with terrific views like nowhere else. All roads bordering the park have the best preserved Art Deco buildings which form a non ending eye-candy for this architectural buff. the best in my time in the capitol were: Avenida Mexico, Avenida Amsterdam, Campeche and Queretaro.
