Sala Nezahualcoyotl

Reviewed By keithp537 - Mexico City, Mexico

Having been last summer to the Konzerthus in Stockholm, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Barbicon in London and Symphony Hall in Berlin, both very fine, I can say that Nezahuaycoyotl is as good as any hall I have seen - and I have been in ALL the major halls in the US. The sight lines here are excellent and the acoustic is superb. It is beautiful, functional and welcoming - one of the great treasures of Mexico City.

The campus of UNAM is an UNESCO heritage site, definitely worth a visit. Absolutely beautiful and amazing murals, with Mexican cultures. The big lawn outside of the central library is a great place to hang around with friends.

Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporaneo

Reviewed By ScoopTraveler - New York City, United States

You should come here if you like contemporary art. The building is super contemporary too. Changing exhibitions create a lot of variety and unpredictability. The campus is great, especially O'Gorman's library building covered in mosaics.
