Xochimilco Xochimilco, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, is one of central Mexico's most important archaeological sites. Xochimilco means "place where flowers are sown" in the Huatl language, and it is now Mexico's most important flower market. The crisscrossing canals here seem worlds apart from the bustling city of Mexico. A cruise along the canals in one of the colorful, Mexican-style boats offers a unique experience, allowing you to take in the scenery of Xochimilco.

Museo Nacional de Antropología

National Museum of Anthropology The founding of the Museo de Antropología de Mexico City began with the discovery and preservation of the "Sun Stone," a revered object of the Aztecs. In 1520, the Spanish buried the stone during their ravages of the Aztec capital. It wasn't until 1790 that the stone was rediscovered. It was excavated and preserved as a precious cultural heritage, marking the beginning of the Museo de Antropología's activities. The Museo de Antropología de Mexico City stands out among museums worldwide for its unique and captivating collections. Its collections reflect not only the development of early civilization in Mexico but throughout the Americas, showcasing the glorious history of the American people for the first time to the world. Visitors to this renowned museum marvel at the remarkable achievements of ancient Americans while also shedding long-held historical prejudices.

Teotihuacan Pyramids

Teotihuacán Teotihuacan, located approximately 50 kilometers from Mexico City, is a remnant of an ancient civilization. Also known as the City of the Gods, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Two pyramids stand side by side, separated by a 2-kilometer-long avenue known as the Way of the Dead. The north-south, 2-kilometer-long Avenue of the Dead is the heart of this ancient city. The most striking features of the avenue are the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, flanking them. The Pyramid of the Sun, located to the east, is the third largest pyramid in the world and is surrounded by numerous altars used for sacrifice. The Pyramid of the Moon, located at the northern end of the Avenue of the Dead, is flanked by the Plaza de la Luna, a complex of 12 temples and altars. Climb the massive Pyramid of the Sun and gaze out over the Way of the Dead and the Pyramid of the Moon, offering breathtaking views of the entire ruins.

Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe A cult developed around this site after a Christian convert named Juan Diego claimed in December 1531 that the Virgin Mary appeared before him on the Cerro del Tepeyac (Tepeyac Hill). After numerous sightings, so the story goes, the lady’s image was miraculously emblazoned on Diego's cloak, causing a bishop to believe the story and build a shrine in her honor. To this day the basílica remains a place of pilgrimage and worship.

Palacio de Bellas Artes

Palace of Fine Arts Construction on the iconic building began in 1905 under Italian architect Adamo Boari, who favored neoclassical and art nouveau styles. Complications arose as the heavy marble shell sank into the spongy subsoil, and then the Mexican Revolution intervened. Architect Federico Mariscal eventually finished the interior in the 1930s, utilizing the more modern art deco style. With art nouveau on the outside and art deco on the inside, the Palacio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts) is considered one of the most spectacular buildings from this era.

Zócalo

Plaza de la Constitución The Plaza de la Constitución is to Mexico City what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris and the Colosseum is to Rome. It's a must-see destination in Mexico City and the heart of Mexico. Rebuilt by Spanish colonists after the destruction of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, it has always been bustling, whether in the 16th century (when it was built on the ruins) or in the 18th century (when it became a bustling market), and even today, when it serves as the seat of government, the bustle continues. In front of the square are the remains of the Cathedral and the Templo Mayor, the former center of the square. Upon their arrival, the Spanish destroyed the Templo Mayor and built the Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) on top of it, thus obscuring centuries of civilization and this important pre-Spanish temple. In the late 1970s, cable company workers accidentally uncovered the temple's structure while working, prompting archaeologists to search for its remains.
