Points of interest

Historic Center
The historic heart of the city is the wide plaza known as the Zócalo. It is surrounded by the presidential palace, the metropolitan cathedral and the excavated site of the Templo Mayor, the main temple of Aztec Mexico, which then was named Tenochtitlán. The Zócalo and its surrounding neighborhoods are known as the “Centro Histórico”, the historic center, and are full of notable old buildings and interesting museums.

Paseo de la Reforma
Major hotels, embassies, art galleries, spectacular monuments and banks flank Mexico City’s grandest boulevard, the Reforma Street. It runs straight through the city’s heart.

Chapultepec Castle
The castle on Chapultepec Hill was built in 1785 as a residence for the viceroys of Nueva España. Later the castle became home to Mexico’s presidents until 1939 when President Lázaro Cárdenas converted it into a museum. In the surrounding park -Bosque de Chapultepec- you can find lakes, a zoo and several excellent museums.

National Museum of Anthropology
In bringing together the vestiges of the past with the daily activities of the present, the National Museum of Anthropology has achieved a truly magnificent museological space. Here, the major archeological and ethnographic collections gathered in Mexico since the 18th Century, are assembled.

The splendid, art deco lobby is a sight in itself, but the building’s real gem is its theatre, with a Tiffany glass curtain that visitors can view on Sunday mornings only. A gallery on the mezzanine is home to temporary exhibitions.

Coyoacán
Down a cobblestone street lined with stately mansions, the visitor enters this world of beautiful plazas, art galleries, restaurants and picturesque hustle and bustle. Its privileged location led to its eminence as a pre-Hispanic center founded on the shores of the ancient lake, seat of government during the reconstruction of Tenochtitlan and home to magnificent residences grouped around the 16th Century Franciscan cloister. It is here, around the atrium of the Saint John the Baptist church, where the social life of Coyoacán unfolds, enriched by cafés, bars, bookstores, museums and the colorful festivals, which culminate in the tumultuous grito ceremony celebrating Mexico's independen
