● National Museum of Anthropology and History: the ideal place for those who love culture and art. The museum’s architecture was designed by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, one of Mexico City’s most representative architect.
● Chapultepec Castle: home of the National Museum of History, in this spectacular castle you’ll learn about the lifestyle of Porfirio Diaz and admire spectacular works of art by David Alfaro Siqueiros, one of the country’s greatest muralists.
● Palacio de Bellas Artes: probably the greatest Mexican art emblem, this spectacular palace owes its particular appearance to the cladding made with marble from different parts of the world.
