Historic Center of Mexico City: the heart of the capital

Join us on a tour of the Historic Center of Mexico City, a place where the past and present coexist on every corner. Discover its symbols, stories, and everyday scenes all in one journey. 

We will start in front of the Metropolitan Cathedral, the largest in Latin America, a blend of architectural styles that holds centuries of history. Very close by is the National Palace where you will learn a bit about Mexican identity. Then, we will move towards the Templo Mayor, the remains of the great Tenochtitlán, where you will be amazed by the ancient city built by the Aztecs.

Afterwards, we will arrive at the Plaza de Santo Domingo, a colonial square famous for its printing tradition. On one side stands the Temple of Santo Domingo, a jewel of the New Spanish Baroque, and in front of it is the House of the Inquisition, now the headquarters of the Ministry of Public Education, which houses three floors decorated with murals by Diego Rivera and his students. 

We will continue to the National Museum of Art, which has one of the most important collections of Mexican art from the 19th and 20th centuries. Among lively streets, we will be surprised by the Postal Palace, with its golden interior and marble staircases, followed by the House of Tiles, unmistakable for its Talavera-covered facade and its history as a symbol of New Spanish high society. Finally, our tour will culminate at the Palace of Fine Arts, a city landmark that captivates with its multicolored dome and its role as the premier stage for culture in Mexico. 

Let yourself be carried away by the opportunity to discover the most emblematic and history-filled corners of the Historic Center through a local perspective: stories, anecdotes, and details that will make your visit a memorable experience.👣
