Almost in the center of the city, you can find these remarkable building with great architecture, made out with Carrara marble. There are also many ancient buildings in walk distance.

This an ornate, steel dominated building, made even more interesting because it is a working post office and has been since 1907. The staircase dominates as two separate parts seem to overcome gravity and meet in the middle to form a landing and then go off in a different direction. This is just a stroll among the locals who are... More

On your way from Bellas Artes to downtown, walk through the Post Office building. It was designed by the same architect as Bellas Artes, but in the Gothic Revival style. It doesn't take long to see it, but it's well worth the extra block of walking. (Plus, you'll exit right out to the National Museum of Art and the restaurant... More

This particular building right next to the Alameda Central Park and the Palacio de las Bellas Artes is a awesome place to visit. Build to be the mail Post Office and continues to carry on some of its duties. The architecture is just beautiful, the old school selling posts and all the iron work. You will find a small museum...

Don't stop at the building's beautiful exterior, with the carvings and brass gargoyles. Step inside and walk around to see the murals, the staircase, and the still-functioning elevator. This is still a functioning post office, so buy a postcard to be able to send it from here.

Unchanged, unspoilt, unhurried, never bought stamps in such a stress free beautiful envoironment. Monument to civic wealth in Mexico 150 years ago, or to the fruits of monopoly?
