What travellers are saying
- Paul OCounty Monaghan, Ireland6,431 contributionsWe arrived at the Anthropology museum at 9.30am and there was no queue at security or ticket desk at this time (there was a good sized queue when we left a couple of hours later). Entry to this massive world class museum was $100.
As with any museum of this stature we had pre planned the areas we wanted to visit and concentrate on. These being the Mexica (Aztec) and Maya rooms. Both rooms are large with many highlights and filled up the majority of our visit. I did skim
through a couple of the other rooms but we limited our visit to a couple of hours. You could spend as long as you wanted here but we were very happy with what we saw.Written 15 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Steep hill with elevator for those that cannot walk up. $100 pesos fee. Beautiful palace with beautiful views.Written 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- L & L Salon & Organic BeautyChicago, IL18 contributionsIt is one of the most beautiful murals , the walls full of so many pictures of artistic paint by Diego Rivera and David Alfaro S.
I highly recommend everyone to come and visitWritten 13 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is extremely well managed and maintained. Although the number of visitors is managed (and quite rightly), some of it still feels very intimate.
A beautiful place to spend a few hours, especially if you can just sit and enjoy some time in the peaceful garden area.
Highly recommend and must see thing to do in Mexico City.Written 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Feels very safe, super quiet in the mornings, a break from bustling city life. Leon Trotsky and Frida Kahlo houses are definitely worth visiting. Plaza is beautiful. Just wander around and see all the gorgeous trees and architecture!Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GmanbumpyChicago, IL1,061 contributionsWent early in the morning to avoid mass and there was a mass. Not on the website. We walked around the grounds instead and went back to the Basilica. Relic can be seen on moving walkway even when in mass.Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James_Mc_CWicklow, Ireland134 contributionsA must-see place for any trip to Mexico City.

- Rodman100Wellington, New Zealand808 contributionsThis is a large market with dozens of stalls selling everything from T Shirts, Textiles, Pottery, Jewlery, souvenirs, etc. The owners of the stalls are not pushy and are willing to bargain. There is a restaurant inside the market where you can have a break from the bustle and hustle and sit down and have some good food and drink (non alcoholic or alcoholic)Written 6 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GmanbumpyChicago, IL1,061 contributionsThis was a hoot. We did not arrive at the arena until after 8:00 and I would recommend getting there earlier. We saw 3 of 6 matches.
We did not want an escort but were persuaded if not forced to and I am glad we did.
We had a fun time. Our seats were along the ramp to the ring. This was fun but more action around the ring on the opposite side.
I don’t know if I need to go again but I had a great time for the experience.
There are several bars and restaurants around the arena. I would recommend something there. If you want drinks besides beer or mezcal you may want to find a restaurant further away.
We got tickets through Ticketmaster. Great seats and still I expensive. Added to iPhone wallet so it was easy to go in.Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
