This is one of the biggest natural park in Latin-America. You will need about 4 to 5 days if you want to visit all sections, museums, and lakes.

A really nice park to explore and wander around to enjoy being outside with nature. The park is filled with interesting statues and features that make exploring it a journey of discovery, it really is a nice place to enjoy and spend a day.

This park is beautiful and huge so much to do and see and so many vendors. You can spend hours here and just enjoy the park. They have a trolley train for 40 pesos that also takes u around though we did not do it bc we went to castle first and went towards the lagoon… it’s a nice break from walking the park as it is again huge. The lagoon looked fun as well and right near lagoon towards exit there was Bambi ice cream it was yummy the Mexican flavor one is what I had.

Such a beautiful building! The architecture is truly phenomenal. The exhibits inside did not move me much and you can get thru it rather quickly. 1.5 hours and you are good to go.

The murals are breath taking. If you want to experience this unique art form then here is the place. The building itself is a jaw dropping architecture grandor both in day and night time. The park around is always crowded, full of activities and is a fun place to walk around or simply sit and watch people. Oh, make sure you scan the QR code to read the description of the murals in English to appreciate each panels. Otherwise, all descriptions are in Spanish, no English.

A stunning piece of architecture in the heart of the city. This is a great meeting place for people and there is a lively feel in the grounds surrounding this place in both the day and the night. The iconic rooftop really stands out and it is well worth a visit to explore the many beautiful sculptures that surround the grounds.

This was my first visit to this Six Flags. Despite large crowds and an unexpected rainstorm, we still managed to fit in 5 of the major rides. The rides are scintillating. Facing death and surviving makes a visit to the park worth every peso. Next time, I will buy a VIP ticket to avoid the long waiting periods.

A fun park. All rides open except for Wonder Woman. Medusa was a personal favorite followed by Superman.

The rides were great, but the HUGE surprise was the Loonie Tunes dancing with the DJ spinning during the foam party! OMG...that was epic. There was no trouble with the lines & it was a perfect day to enjoy the park! We will be back!

Commemorating Mexico's independence, this famous monument is topped with the goddess of victory.

Tu Abuela

Cool place to hang out a lot of restaurants around the meaning is below of the location. El Ángel was built in 1910 during the presidency of Porfirio Díaz by architect Antonio Rivas Mercado, to commemorate the centennial of the beginning of Mexico's War of Independence. In later years it was made into a mausoleum for the most important heroes of that war. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Mexico City, and it has become a focal point for both celebration and protest. It resembles the July Column in Paris, the Victory Column in Berlin and the Columbus Monument in New York City.

A stunning statue in the heart of Mexico City. A really well sculpted monument that stands tall and is a great reference point when exploring the city.

It’s a monument - you can visit anytime. There are benches and restaurants, and hotels. We were there in the morning to wait for our tour ( hot air balloon over the Teotihuacán). It was very early in the morning, still there were a lot of people hanging out. The monument looks great when it’s lit in the night. A nice place to visit and hangout.

The city's oldest public park, with trees & fountains, established by Viceroy Luís Velasco.

Very nice, lively park. You could probably spend a whole day hear just to relax and take in some urban nature. The scenery includes trees, flowers, fountains and live performers (buskers). It is a big park so you have ample room to explore with space around you.

Wonderful place to come over and spend quality time with the family and kids, also great for some alone time all by yourself. On the weekends aside from having to fountains turned on to cool down the heat, there's other activities going on like skits and sideshows, music and clown performances as well as rap battles. Beware of the shoe shine scammers without negotiating the price upfront. When it's done they're going to mark up the price to an outrageous amount. Also try to avoid the snacks and food vendors which surround the place because they'll mark up the price on everything from a soda bottle to a bag of chips. It's best to purchase at established businesses like 7 eleven or Oxxo.

Fantastic early evening experience when vendors appear with a selection of street food on their stalls. A highlight is the appearance of local folk from all walks of life, ages & social status. The one common denominator being dance. Truly uplifting and if you don't know the local version of Salsa wth a difference, try jive which we 'just about' got away with!

This was my second visit to Chapultepec Castle. We walked over from our nearby hotel. It is a steep walk up towards the castle which can be challenging for some, so keep in mind to bring good shoes and might need to make some stops for children and elderly people. We payed 190 pesos which translates to $11.08 / €10.20. This place has a great view of some parts of the city, has a nice water fountain, and a lovely garden. You might also be intrigued with some of the rich history that is displayed. I loved how rustic and photogenic this location is; it’s great for individual and family pictures. It’s important to note that this place is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Enjoy your visit!

Worth visiting if it’s your first time in CDMX. This may be a tourist hot spot the place is well-maintained and orderly. The artworks are well-curated and organized such that the historical narrative is told well. Not all displays have English translations though. You may have to scan the QR code to do so. Lovely place overall. P.S. if you have large bags or food, pay for the locker at the ticket counter for 10 pesos. Lockers are by the entrance and are guarded well.

Try to avoid going on a Sunday as that day Mexicans can go in for free so the place gets a bit packed. The building is gorgeous and has some great views of the park and city. The collection is interesting but it's missing explanation on what you are looking at (both in Spanish and English). There are some amazing murals but again no explanation at all. The rooms do not seem to be in chronological order.

What an amazing place! This has been one of the most memorable places to visit in all of Mexico. The exhibition of 23 rooms is impressive, to say the least. Plan on spending half the day, at the very least, to see some of its gems. We had limited time and saw the exhibits in three rooms in four hours. With the exception of the Tenochtitlan room, we flew through the other rooms. There's that much to see. The Tenochtitlan room was the most impressive to me given the fact that you can see THE Aztec "calendar," which really isn't a calendar. Other pieces are just as impressive, especially if you know your history. If you only have a couple of hours, go. You can get through the Tenochtitlan room in 2 hours. It's well worth it. I will return to see more of these remarkable gems.

Very well made place. Just the architecture itself is amazing! As I said when I was there, one of the most beautiful man made things I have seen. I am not exaggerating. Like every museum of this category, you need more than one visit to fully appreciate all the exhibition halls. There is a lot to see and it could be a little overwhelming, even for a one day visit. I mainly gave my attention to the architecture of the place and walked through some of the expositions that I wanted to visit. Do not hesitate to visit this Museum, it's 100% worth it.

Excellent museum, not too big not too small, you should definitely be able to see it in one day. I went on Sunday it was very crowded as I think it is free for residents of Mexico. The metro system is very interesting for some reason they will empty the train and you have to figure out how to get to your final destination.

It is a very calm and nice place, I enjoyed nature. Also, we took a ride on a bus-train. It lacks some shops to be able to buy drinks or candy cotton

Perfectly fine park for a walk, was there yesterday after 1 pm. Didn't notice any rats whatsoever. It was fairly busy and very sunny. Makes you wish that trees were planted more thickly to give more shade from the sun. Alas. One star taken off for rubbish left behind by inconsiderate oafs.

Great place to walk, play board games with a friend in one of their stone-made sets of table and chairs, take the kids and ride the mini train or use the playground area. 1000% recommended to bring your dogs and have them playing unleashed in well care areas and just in case you need to know, yes, the park count with washrooms

Plaza Garibaldi

Mariachis in traditional attire perform in this iconic plaza, home to a museum, bars & shops.

Seems to be a little bit dirty. Didn't feel unsafe at any point. A lot of performers of traditional Mexican music. Great mariachi, marimba, and norteños bands. More 🚻 needs to be provided, the line for the ladies was huge, and I felt sorry for them. In some areas, more lights are needed, so the visitor can appreciate the views at night. Overall, it is a good experience for visitors and tourists to enjoy the real Mexican music and traditions.

The Mariachis are definitely a highlight. However as a tourist I expected much more of a plaza that is so famous. Very desserted. Feels bit dangerous too. I wouldnt go past 6pm. There is a parking garage that you can take the key with you. Probably would not go back. Very dissapointed.

This 18th-century palace with a blue-&-white tile facade is now home to a popular restaurant.

Beautiful building with a well-preserved facade and interiors. Revolutionaries like Emilio Zapata and intellectuals used to frequent here. Restaurant Sanborn which is a well-known chain has reliable food, not necessarily mind-blowing. Service was good too. Picturesque area all over.

I cannot attest to the quality of the food at the restaurant, however, it is truly beautiful inside. Even if you don’t intend to eat there, go ahead inside and take a look at the beautiful interior which is covered in blue tiles. Walk upstairs so that you can have a nice view onto the dining room downstairs. If you come earlier in the day there will be no problem getting a table but by 9:30 on a Saturday morning there was quite a line.

To be honest, this was a very disappointing lackluster experience. The food is mediocre at best. The structure of this once illustrious building is breathtaking, but that pretty much is it. This is the kind of establishment that has relied on it's lineage for far too long and has become complacent over the years. Our food took too long (2hrs), our server was rude, and there was no care given to the matter.
