Highlights of a Free Tour in Mexico City
It’s no surprise that Mexico City is packed with highlights. Here are just a few that you can discover with Mexico City Free Tours. Start at the iconic Constitution Square (commonly known as Zocalo), home of the enormous Mexican flag. This plaza has been the heart of gatherings since Aztec times. Near to here is the Templo Mayor, unearthed in 1978. These awe-inspiring Aztec ruins are not to be missed. Other sights nearby include the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace. Take a stroll through the pedestrianized Madero Street to get a feel for the historical center and everyday life. This street is littered with famous sights such as the House of Tiles, the Postal Palace, and the glorious Palace of Fine Arts. Visit the district of Coyoacan and stop off at The Blue House, where Frida Kahlo lived most of her life, along with her husband, the artist Diego Rivera. The house is now a museum and is a must-see for any art lover.
Things to do in Mexico City
Aztecs, emperors, heroes, artists, and other legendary figures have marked Mexico City. Enjoy exploring this unique place through its museums, culinary offerings, landmarks, churches, or nightlife! Take the time to explore the districts outside of the center, such as the La Roma neighborhood, a bohemian, high-end area that offers history, legends, myths, and gourmet products! When you visit the Blue House, make sure you pay a visit to the Coyoacan market and taste incredible snacks like churros (fried dough), tortas de chilaquil, traditional candy, and more. For a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, head to Chapultepec Park, one of the largest city parks in the Western Hemisphere. There’s plenty to explore in this huge green space, including Mexico City’s world-famous Museum of Archeology. If you are looking for a bit of fun, join a traditional Mariachi party at a cantina or at the famous Xochimilco.
