Palace of Fine Arts: After picking you up at your accommodation, we’ll head to the Palace of Fine Arts (Palacio de Bellas Artes) – Neoclassical and Art Nouveau on the outside, Art Deco on the inside. The building is most famous for its murals by Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo’s notorious ex-husband, as well as being the country’s premier venue for the arts.

Metropolitan Cathedral: Next, we’ll hit the Metropolitan Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico. Located on top of the former sacred Aztec precinct, it was built in sections from 1573 to 1813 in the style of Spain’s Gothic masterpieces. Feel free to sit in a while if there is a mass ongoing.

National Palace: Afterwards, we’ll go to the National Palace (Palacio Nacional) at the city’s main square, the Plaza de la Constitución (El Zócalo). This site has been home to Mexico’s ruling class since the Aztec empire. In fact, much of the current building’s materials are from the structure that belonged to Moctezuma II!

Templo Mayor: Finally, we’ll head to Templo Mayor – the main temple of the Mexican people in their capital Tenochtitlan, modern-day Mexico City. We’ll then stop by Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico – a landmark Art Nouveau hotel steeped in old world elegance – before we stroll through one of the major lifelines of CDMX’s Downtown: Francisco I. Madero Avenue. Here you can simply absorb the ambiance as you browse through boutiques, bars, and cafes.
