Parque México
Mexico Park is located in the upscale Condesa district and has become a symbol of the city for decades, being one of the most beautiful and popular green urban areas in the capital. Mexico Park is surrounded by a group of buildings designed according to the artistic style that dates back to the thirties of the last century, and it also includes a group of art pieces, especially the white and blue clock tower.
Palacio de Bellas Artes
From an iconic garden to an iconic building, this is what the Fine Arts Palace in Mexico City represents, with its colorful dome and a continuous address to visit in the capital. This Art Deco building is the city’s main opera house and the headquarters of the Mexico Orchestra. The palace houses two museums, the first being the Museum of Fine Arts, “Museo del Palacio de Pias Artes” and the second is the Museum of Architecture “Museo del Arcatura”.
Catedral Metropolitana
Miterpolitana Cathedral is located in the center of the historical center of the Mexican capital and it is a landmark that should not be lost during your visit to the capital. This cathedral is the oldest in Latin America and is made of the stone of the pyramids in the country and took about 3 centuries to build.
Coyoacán
At least one whole day must be devoted to this distinctive aspect of the Mexican capital in order to explore in detail. If you love the works of the famous painter Frida Kahlo, art in general, or even a fan of touring the ancient arenas, this vibrant area and the arts should be on your visit schedule. Don’t miss a coffee at Café El Jarocho or watch the movement in the area at Hidalgo Square.
Sumaya Museum
This museum is named after the wife of Mexican-American billionaire Carole Selim, Sumaya Doumit. The museum, located in Caruso Square, is considered an artistic amphitheater in the middle of a group of economic buildings in the capital, rising from the ground as a silver engineering dream, and it includes a remarkable collection of artworks from leading European artists and local artists from the twentieth century.
Mercado de la Merced
A great opportunity to experience the traditional Mexican atmosphere and immerse yourself in the sounds and smells of the popular Mexican markets. When you visit Mercado de la Merced you will find fresh fruits and vegetables and crowded small restaurants where we advise you to try food. You should also be careful if you are a large group of friends or family members, as the probability that you get lost in the market is great because of its crowding and large area.
Monumento a la Revolución
When you visit the Mexican capital, you will pass the La Reforma square and there you will see one of the most important landmarks of the capital, which is called the landmark of the revolution, which is a victory arch (it is the largest in the world) embracing the remains of two of the most important leaders of the Mexican revolution Pancho Villa and Lazaro Cardenas. The site also has a small, distinguished and informative museum.
