Fantatstic art and antiques galley. We walked there and back from the plaza in Centro. So many eye popping displays. I snapped these images before I realized they ask for no photos throughout. I feel like these images do not egregiously snub that request. I discovered many things. I discovered a few art classes and a new artist I will be following. Well worth a return!

Simply breathtaking church, With such rich history. Day or night its a spectacle. So many shops, delicious eateries and music in the area. Loved every minute. Felt safe the entire time. Wear comfortable, rubber sole or traction shoes because the terrain (cobblestone) is rough outside of the plaza.

Historical landmark

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Cupola Aqueduct, an imposing 18th-century structure in Morelia, is a significant and well-preserved civil work that replaced a 16th-century canal. Comprised of 253 arches measuring 30 feet high, this one-mile aqueduct served the city until 1910. Visitors find it comforting to observe the ancient construction and engineering while walking along its peaceful streets.
It's pretty cool to look at something so old surrounded by so much new. 50 peso landmark is where an OXXO is 😂
Mister D — Google review
I cannot descibe how it feels to walk along this aquaduct. Imagining water flowing to supply the city but this is not some ugly piece of utilitarian passage for water. The arches are beautiful but walk along and look at the old buildings that are an arms width away. The city has so much history and until you visit you will not be under its spell. It took awhile but with true love it grabs you when you least expect it...I miss Morela with all my heart.

Obviously I took my obligatory photo of the $50 bill (Original) El acueducto como atractivo turístico es muy bellos, poder observar la construcción e ingeniería antigua es reconfortante.

Very well preserved stone built aqueduct near the historic town center of Queretaro. There is an elevated panoramic terrace near by that allows you to see the whole aqueduct and the town built around. Only down the street from the terrace you will find the church where the Austrian Emperor of Mexico, Maximilian took refuge.

In the middle of a very busy street in the middle of an equally hectic city is this astounding example of a historically significant piece of architecture and engineering. The Aqueduct of Queretaro runs a fair distance and although one could walk, bike, or drive the entire distance, it is not necessary. At the point on Google Maps where this pin is placed is a plaza with benches, some information boards, a few artistic bronze statues, and it is an excellent spot to take some photos of this engineering marvel. The fact that at the time of my visit there was a group of university grads taking photos in their grad gowns tells me this is a popular spot amongst locals for that special photo. I am really glad I came here to check out this gem and am awarding this with 5 stars.
Wong F — Google review
The aqueduct stretches for a good while, over a kilometer, so your experience of it will vary depending on where you see it. To be honest, it's not that impressive. Five minutes after you get there you'll be done taking your pictures and looking for something else to do.

Los Arcos is a rock formation located in the Sierra Gorda mountain range, about 22 kilometers northeast of the city of Querétaro.

Peña de Bernal is a breathtaking monolith that rises 350 meters high, offering visitors an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the enchanting town of Bernal, this site features a charming chapel perched near its summit, accessible via a scenic hike. For those traveling from Queretaro, taking the bus is a convenient option; it departs hourly and takes about an hour and fifteen minutes to reach this magical destination. However, be prepared for some waiting as buses leave only when full.

A fee will be collected at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. The overall view is inspirational and breathtaking. Take a hike if you have enough time. The best way to get there is to hire a taxi all the to the foot of the mountain, it will cost about 1000 pesos round trip.
John Y — Google review
The town is wonderful. Now about the hike to the mountain: the tourist entry from the town side cost 30 pesos, but they never give you any information. Like : sorry, the top is closed today. This side of the mountain is private. Yes, unlike Europe or the usa, people here in Mexico get to own mountains, lakes, rivers… all of it and then monetize it. If you want to enjoy the nature like civilized people do, you need to pay for it and then abide the stupid rules. Yes, there are plenty of those. I highly suggest you enter the mountain from the west side, from the camping grounds- it’s free and the hike is much more scenic . Good luck! 👍

Cascada Velo de Novia is a stunning multi-tiered waterfall located in a lush, forested park in Valle de Bravo, Mexico. Despite the area not being known as the safest in Mexico, Valle de Bravo is actually quite safe for visitors. The town's vibrant colors and cobblestone streets add to its unique charm. Visitors can take a moderately easy hike or opt for a four-wheeler tour followed by a 15-minute walk to reach the beautiful waterfall.
I visited this waterfall as part of the “Tranvia Chu Chu” tour. The tour shows you this place and the “Piedra de Molino” waterfall. I loved it! I had enough time to take-in the beauty of the scenery and to take pictures as well! The 2 waterfalls are a must when staying in Valle de Bravo!
Mika — Google review
Beautiful waterfall with essentially no restriction on how close you can get other than your own common sense. Lots of vendors along the way, beginning with restaurants by the parking area, simple cabana type bars along part of the trail, then souvenir and clothing stalls. Two little girls came up to us and asked if we wanted to hear the story of the waterfall. We couldn't help but say yes. You'll have to go yourself and hear the legend, and don't forget to give those kids a few pesos for the story. It looked like you could also ride horses down the trail. Be prepared for rain and go carefully on the trail when wet.

Excellent trekking forest and natural reserve/park, the sights are gorgeous if you're the nature loving kind, you can trail down to the bottom of the falls and come as close as you like. There are decks from where you can see the falls if you don't feel like going down the rustic trail to the foot of the falls and picnic in the designated area. It's a good adventure and a good trip to take, just wear comfy shoes and clothing, fit for the walk to and from this magnificent place, definitely recommend it. Although it has areas that are a bit archaic, it's a beautiful place to visit, nothing fancy but surely beautiful falls.
Hector V — Google review
Great hike. We took a four wheeler tour to this town and then hiked 15 minutes down to see the beautiful waterfall. The hike itself was moderately easy, there’s a bridge and then dirt road. Wearing walking shoes is recommended. When you get to the bottom there are plenty of rocks to climb to take a moment to yourself and breathe in the water as well as listen to it. A great way to spend your afternoon!
Nikki A — Google review
It's a nice place to go and enjoy a cool falls, isn't that big lbut it worth go all the way down by Walk to get some cool pictures. When you go back up to the parking lot, be ready for the irregular stairs and some bumps on the walk way. You can grab some souvenirs at the stores on the top, remember to bring good shoes for the long way walking.

Awesome botanical garden. Biggest stained glass I have ever seen. Very clean inside. There is also a pond with koy fish. Cash only and they don’t take bigger denomination bills. They don’t have change to give you.

I like the Cosmovitral because it is very beautiful. First, it is a very big place and you can walk a lot. Secondly, it is a very peaceful place so you can relax. Next, it is in a nice location and it is easy to visit. Also, you feel relaxed because there are many plants and colors. Plus: It has a hot climate. Drink water before you go and wear comfortable clothes. Finally, going to the Cosmovitral is a good idea because you can enjoy art plus nature.

Zona Arqueológica de Tula

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Archaeological museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Tula archaeological site, located two kilometers north of the town center, boasts a pyramid and columns shaped like warriors made of basalt. Visitors can stand atop the pyramid and admire views of the surrounding countryside while gazing at the impressive Toltec warrior statues. The site is also home to two museums, both free with admission. In addition to explanatory signs in English, Spanish and Nahuatl throughout the area, souvenir markets are available on weekends near the entrance.
Awesome place to visit. Read about it ahead of time to get the background as they only have Spanish tours. They say Sundays are not good to visit as it's free entry for Mexicans, but I visited on Sunday as my schedule could not be changed. I got here at 9 when they opened and was able to visit the columns without anyone around. By the time I got to other areas the columns area was packed, so come early. I really enjoyed it.

Great archeological site to visit that’s about 1.5 hours outside the city. There’s lots of beautiful cacti, flowers, plants, insects, and birds. Makes for a peaceful walk to the pyramids. The Toltec statues are amazing and you get a magnificent view from the top of the pyramid. FYI- the only restroom they have is at the entrance so be sure to go there before walking to the pyramids.

Great place to explore Toltec ruins and learn about that culture. Small entrance fee. Plenty of parking. Short walk to the ruins. Awesome statues and pyramid. Nice botanical garden also.

The quality of maintenance of the Archaeological Zone and the museum has deteriorated substantially due to the lack of work tools for the staff, security employees and lack of investments by INAH and the manager of the site. As of end of 2024, The museum is still partly closed due to lack of investment and disappearing antique objects. The worker's union strike is only a reaction to these politics. The staff demands the re-opening of the museum in its full size. The State of Mexico is not only letting go to waste its historical treasures,it seems it is out-selling them! You can climb 2 pyramids although one will soon be grown over by plants if the maintenance stays as bad as it is. During off-season, depending on the material, sculptures up to 10cm are sold from only 10 pesos, sculptures up to 30cm for only 20 pesos. They have a lot of different kinds of souvenirs and clothes and you can bargain a very cheap price. I give Tula 4 stars despite the bad management because it is totally worth the visit. Majestic sculptures, beautiful temples and nature. If you are physically impaired, it is hard to walk about 1.5 km from the parking until the main temple. In a wheelchair,it will be possible,it's not steep, but very rocky and shaky.

A very interesting site to visit. The ruins are a walk of about 500 meters or so, but level and well marked. There were vendors along the way with interesting trinkets, but NO water...bring a water bottle with you as there is little shade. The signs along the way are very informative. Plan on an hour and a half or so. You climb up the pyramid to see the statues...

We had a wonderful visit. They provided most of the information boards in English which really helped my kids and I out trying understand what each structure was. The staff was very friendly. I would love to come back when the museum is opened. There was a nice walk before the structure with a few vendors posted on along the way. It was nice to buy a few memorabilia for my kids.
Ham B — Google review
Short walk if nonstop. As of April 2024 the museum portion is closed due to a strike. Along the way to the pyramid site, there are paths of different giant cactuses and native trees. There are vendors along the path selling souvenirs, typical garments etc. The ruins cover a small area, so the walk is short. You can buy refreshments at the entrance and sun hats with the vendors.

Archaeological museum
Museums
The Museo Nacional de Antropología is a must-visit destination for anyone intrigued by the rich tapestry of Mexico's ancient civilizations. As the largest and most frequented museum in the country, it boasts an impressive collection that spans from the Olmecs to the Maya, showcasing artifacts that date back to these remarkable cultures. The museum's striking modern architecture serves as a fitting introduction to its treasures housed within 22 thoughtfully curated rooms.
This was definitely one of the best museums I’ve ever been to. It was a really fantastic activity that me and my friends are able to go to where we got the chance to learn about their history and culture… The museum was bigger than I expected it to be with different sections and we enjoyed every bit of it. The collections were so amazing… from Aztec, to Mayan, to Teotihuacan… amazing artifacts to stand infront of. We unfortunately went before it was about to close, but I definitely plan on coming back to this museum next time I’m back in Mexico City so that I can explore everything here further than I was able to this time. We highly recommend that everyone goes to this museum during their visit to Mexico City

Museo Nacional de Antropología – CDMX 🇲🇽 ⭐ Rating: 10/10 An absolute must-visit in Mexico City — this museum is a true national treasure. 🏛️ From the moment you step in, you’re surrounded by the rich history and culture of Mexico, with incredible exhibitions ranging from Mayan and Aztec civilizations to fascinating artifacts from indigenous cultures across the country. The architecture is breathtaking, especially the iconic central courtyard with the massive waterfall pillar — it’s one of those places that leaves a lasting impression. The displays are beautifully curated, and you can easily spend half a day or more exploring without getting bored. 💡 Tip: Go early, wear comfy shoes, and don’t miss the Aztec Sun Stone — it’s even more impressive in person. #CDMX #MuseoDeAntropologia #MexicoCulture #MustVisit #HistoryLovers

The Building is so incredibly ugly, but the exhibition is absolutely fantastic. It’s a shame that there is not much description next to the most famous artefacts., however you can always use Claude to get an explanation of what you have just seen. Do you go to the upper floor where no one is to get some rest and sit down while you hop from civilisation to civilisation. Surprisingly, The Restaurant that is inside the Museum is not bad at all, and not even with expensive. I suggest you do take a break because there is so much to see, and it’s better still to have some energy to see them all in one day
Alessandro T — Google review
Wow this place is massive! This is a two level, U-shaped museum offering thousands of unique historical finds from all over Mexico. They also have foreign exhibits seasonally. You start on one end, work your way through the halls, and end up at the end of the building. Plan on spending at least 2-3 hours exploring all the great things to see. There is a little park and courtyard right outside where you can grab a quick snack before going in.

We booked the "Amigo" guided tour and were helped by this awesome Leonardo dude. This is such a great experience where we learned so much about the amazing history of Mexico, about its culture and traditions, and it's definitely a blast! Would absolutely recommend this museum, this guided tour, and Leonardo the perfecto, to everyone who's interested.

Plethora of various artefacts from pre-hispanic civilazations of Mesoamerica and i guess that is what most if us come to Mexico for. You will find them here. Not sure why some descriptions are in spanish only though. Also during my visit some of the outdoor areas were closed. I've been twice here, and not sure why but there was a day with free entrance.
Mike — Google review
By far a must see while in Mexico City. It’s a vast museum, so give yourself a whole day because there are multiple buildings and floors. But we found it to be exceptional and worth it. We also took a break halfway through and enjoyed an amazing lunch at the museum restaurant. Wear your comfortable walking shoes and take as many pics as you can!
Melissa M — Google review
What a complex! We took the Turismo bus (yes, they are wheelchair accessible!) to it, and lo and behold we didn't need our portable ramp to get around this huge set of museums. We tried to hit all the major parts of the museum, but you really need to take more than one day to grasp the full scale of the place. And for essentially $5 US dollars per person, it's pretty much a steal! As you can see, we mostly stuck to the sections with older artifacts, basically triaging our time so we could get the most out of it. The wheelchair accessibility is pretty good, save for the back of buildings that led out into gardens and a tomb replica. As for getting something to eat, there are vendors strung along in a row right in front of the main entrance plaza, and the food is cheap and delicious. Sit and eat in the adjoining park area and enjoy dogs and children playing in the fountains. And of course, last but not least, there is a gift shop, where you can buy all sorts of books and other items to take home with you.

Castle

Perched on a hill in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City, Chapultepec Castle is a historic site that offers stunning views of the city. This neoclassical and colonial architectural gem now serves as the National Museum of History. Since 1939, it has housed an impressive collection of relics including Aztec sculptures, casta paintings, and even President Santa Anna's fake leg.
Wonderful museum that provides lots of history of Mexico. The walk up the hill to the castle is a little long, so just be sure to wear some comfortable shoes to make the trek. There’s also some great views of the city from the castle.

This is one additional beautiful part of Mexico City ! It is a MUST visit ! No 2 ways about it. There are 2 lineups at the ticket office.1 for cash and 1 for card. The card lineup was shorter so we had a two minute wait there and the lady that gave us. Our tickets took one look at us in with all our gray hair and wrinkles. Gave us a free admission for old farts. Lol. Getting an order does have its advantages. It’s a slow steady walk up a gradual incline before reaching this thing of beauty. This is where they stamp your ticket. There is only a few people ahead of us. It was around noon on a Friday afternoon. When we left, there were a lot more people, but still the line was moving fairly quickly. We spent a few hours roaming around through this magnificent structure with its beautiful displays and wonderful gardens.

This is a stunning walk through a historical building filled with beautiful artwork from a few different eras . The castle itself has a few different exhibits and the living areas of the place are staged and have explanations in Spanish and English about the use of each of space. Views from the top of the castle looking down the hill are incredible and worth the hike up.

Entrance was about 5USD. There was a lot of art, history, and scenery here. Easily spent a few hours here. The only con for those who may be older or with disabilities, you must walk uphill in order to arrive to the castle. There were a few cars that were able to enter, I assumed for drop off. I would look into this if needed.
Raquel M — Google review
I'm a big fan of the park surrounding the castle but found the castle itself beautiful but rigid. I had my full frame camera with me when I purchased the ticket at the ground level entrance. After walking up the hill, the xop checking tickets asked if I could remove my lens from my camera? There was a 0% chance that was happening and if this is an actual rule it should be displayed when you purchase the ticket. Everything else was without incident.

Lovely castle to walk around. It is a 5-10min walk up to the castle so bring comfortable walking shoes. The front half of the castle exhibits are only in Spanish, but the second half of the castle had translations. Lovely walk through history of Mexico and high up viewpoint of cityscape. 100 mxn entry free for foreigners, can buy them at the door.

Beautiful castle, home to more than 62 vireyes and presidents , a lot of home display pieces of art from that time and mexican history. Gorgeous gardens and balconies with incredible views of the park and Paseo de la Reforma angel statue. Entrance fee $100 pesos . Pictures allow, a bit of walk from main entrance to the castle about 10 minutes .Washroom available. Bad check by the entrance. Crowded most days.No water or food allowed inside. Mondays is closed. Definitely a place to see .Time to spend 3h plus to make the visit worth it.

Art museum
The Palacio de Bellas Artes is a grand marble performance hall and museum in Mexico City, known for its iconic orange dome and elaborate belle epoque facade. Built in 1904 by Italian architect Adamo Boari, the structure features pre-Hispanic motifs and a mix of Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. Inside, visitors can admire murals by Diego Rivera and other renowned artists.
The Palacio de Bellas Artes is one of Mexico City’s most stunning landmarks. Its architecture is truly breathtaking, blending Art Nouveau on the outside with Art Deco details inside. The grand halls and expansive spaces give it an atmosphere of elegance and cultural importance. Beyond the building itself, it’s also a hub for the arts, hosting concerts, operas, and exhibitions. Another plus: its central location puts you within walking distance of other must-see attractions like Alameda Central park, Torre Latinoamericana, and the historic Centro. It’s a perfect starting point for exploring the heart of the city.

This place is amazing ! The theatre tour is every 30 min. alternating between Spanish and English. It is definitely a must see and experience. We then proceeded to get a ticket for the art gallery. Being senior there was no charge. But I would’ve gladly paid. The architecture and the attention to detail. The floors, the walls, the ceilings the columns are all together. The artwork of course is “different strokes for different folks” but all in all, just amazing ! What a beautiful experience !

Really worth a visit it has 17 stunning murals by famous Mexican artists like Diego Rivera and paintings.

Art Nouveau outside and art deco inside. The palace is possible the most beautiful building in Mexico City. The best view from outside comes from the café across the street (8th floor of Sears). Nice murals inside too, including Rivera’s.
Guilherme G — Google review
I walked in without knowing much about the history and solely depended upon the Google reviews. This was a huge mistake. I didn’t even know it has gallery rooms. It is one of those places where the reviews can be way off the mark. So I recommend reading something about this place and its events beforehand since there are no English speaking guides (unless you hire one) or plaques available. For some incorrect reviews, there are 5 pieces of Diego Rivera’s murals. Other than the destroyed Rockefeller Center reproduction, four murals of “Carnaval de la Vida Mexicana” series are here. It is not well known but you should not miss them if you are a fan. And other murals are magnificent as well. On the way up to the third floor, they drove us through the Lilia Carrillo show. I was initially vexed but it turned out as a great opportunity to see her paintings although I had no knowledge about her life and artworks. One thing that really bothered me was there were Spanish speaking guides explaining two murals. The one who guides the “Man, the Controller of the Universe” stays in front of it too long giving the audience an “unwarranted one hour lecture” while asking them foolish questions. I couldn’t get close to see the details thanks to that. I hope they shorten the time. It is a great place to visit for sure.

The Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as The Blue House, is a museum dedicated to the life and works of iconic painter Frida Kahlo. Located in the leafy Coyoacan district, this museum is housed in Kahlo's former residence and has been open to the public since 1958.
A must see site when visiting CDMX. Frida was an amazing person that everyone should know about. We went during the extended hours nightime experience which was really fun - though if you want to see the vibrant colors of the home and surrounding area make sure to go during the day. The staff was organized and helped facilitate the timed entrances - make sure to buy your tickets well in advance to get the time you want. There is a specific order to go through the museum and certain sections can be very busy for viewing. Some vendors outside selling souvenirs/trinkets. There is a shop inside and small cafe! Bathrooms are very clean!
E. V — Google review
The museum was incredible - getting to first hand experience the space where Frida lived and died and and many of her beautiful works hanging throughout. My only issue was how wildly crowded it was. The tickets are sold in 15 minute intervals but unfortunately that staggering doesn’t do much - we would wait behind 10-15 people at each table to try and view the displays and read about Frida. At times there were so many people in the next room we would have to stand and wait 5-7 minutes before being able to move in, or so many people taking influencer posed photos on the stairs that you couldn’t even exit the home I’m Not sure that there’s any way to change those things but they were the only downside of an otherwise incredible experience.

I visited the Frida Kahlo Museum on Sunday, and it was such a lovely place! There’s so much interesting information about her life, beautiful art, and amazing antiques. I recommend watching the movie Frida first—it helps you understand and appreciate the museum even more. The ticket price was reasonable, but I suggest booking in advance because there was quite a long queue. It’s also best to take an Uber from your location to the museum. I absolutely loved this place!

Walking through the house where Frida Kahlo lived for 36 of her 47 years was an incredible and emotional experience. Every corner of the Blue House feels alive with her spirit — from the vibrant colors on the walls to the intimate details of her studio, bedroom, and garden. Seeing the actual objects she used, the clothes she wore, and the tools she painted with makes her story deeply personal. You can feel both her strength and vulnerability as you move through the rooms that witnessed her struggles, her creativity, and her love for Diego Rivera. It’s not just a museum — it’s a journey through her life, her art, and her resilience. A visit to the Frida Kahlo Museum is truly unforgettable and an absolute must for anyone visiting Mexico City.

This was incredible!!!!!! I didn’t get tickets before our trip so I had to do a walking tour to get an entrance ticket. The walking tour was great but wow this museum was cool. I loved that it included some of frida’s works and her real painting materials and furniture. There’s a tiny gift shop thing, which was just enough without being over the top or overly commodifying. I will remember this visit for a long, long time.

A must visit if you are visiting Mexico City. This museum has a lot of history behind it and you will get to see the place where Frida Kahlo spent her final years with all artifacts and detailed history of her. It would take 3 hours to get around. Make sure you book your tickets in advance (either directly or via tour operators) as they are quickly sold. They also have a gift shop and cookie shop inside if you wanted to refresh. Please visit if you are in CDMX.

It was a dream come true. I admire Friday Kahlo, and it's privilege to get access to the actual house she lived. The colors, easel she used, the beautiful kitchen, original paintings, her personal journals, original dress collection, everything is preserved and maintained so well. If you not watched Frida Kahlo movie just watch before entering the museum, you will relate more.

Book the tickets in advance and come on time. The exhibition is not really showing much, but it does show some spirits of Frida Kahlo. The atmosphere all around is very nice and relaxing. Take a seat in the garden and enjoy the vibes would also be a good experience.

Jorge R — Google review
Archeological finds at the Cerro de la Estrella archeological site relate to the Teotihuacan, Toltec, Chichimeca and Culhua-Mexica cultures and range from 1500 BCE to 1521. Excavations have found the Temple of the New Fire, the Sanctuary, the Villa Estrellas, 144 caves, the remains of walls and evidence of terracing. The most important of these is the former plaza and temple of the New Fire Ceremony, which is on the top of the hill. This archeological site can be visited through a guided tour. However, early archeological remains can be found in many parts of the park, including those which have since been covered over by urban sprawl. Ceramic and stone sculpture materials were discovered in the west side of Huizachtecatl that apparently was made within the 100 to 500 years CE; these resemble other similar pieces found in Zacatenco, north of Mexico City. The constructions here were built between the year 100 and 650 AD and are located in the north side, the remains consist of foundations and walls of palaces that show Teotihuacan influence. Another area was housing zone at the middle of the hill, built during the late Classic period 600 to 900 CE. In 2003, specialists from the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia INAH worked to document petroglyphs found in various areas of the park, registering 210 in eleven groups, but they believe there are still more. Some of the petroglyphs are aligned with certain annual solar events. The most recent find was in 2006, when a pyramid base was discovered in what is called Calvary at the top of the mountain. This base dates to the Teotihuacan period, about 1300 years ago. INAH has decided not to excavate the base. The last New Fire ceremony took place in 1507. Today, the hill remains important culturally, as the scene of Iztapalapa’s annual Passion Play.

Jardines Flotantes de Xochimilco

Boat tour agency
Nature & Parks
Xochimilco, located just 40 minutes south of Mexico City, is home to the famous Floating Gardens of Xochimilco. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features a network of canals and manmade islands known as chinampas, which were originally created by the Aztecs in the 14th century to address a shortage of arable land.
Amazing trip through the floating gardens. Peaceful, serene, great history, food and drink.
Shane S — Google review
Xochimilco, located just 30-40 minutes outside of Mexico City, offers a truly authentic Mexican experience that is both vibrant and unforgettable. Known for its colorful trajineras (boats), Xochimilco is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Mexican culture. Once you arrive, you can rent a boat to cruise through the picturesque canals. The experience can last as long or as short as you like—just let your boat operator know. As you float along, you’ll encounter vendors selling delicious Mexican food, from tacos to tamales, and even drinks like micheladas. Live music adds to the festive atmosphere, with mariachis and other musicians serenading you from nearby boats. A few tips: Go to the bathroom before you take a boat. Be sure to bring plenty of cash, as you’ll need it to pay for the boat ride and any food or music you’d like to enjoy. The cost varies depending on the length of your ride and what you purchase, but it’s all very reasonable. Also, Ubers were easy to find both to and from Xochimilco, making it a convenient day trip from the city. Plan for at least an hour but stay as long as you like to soak in the lively energy of this unique destination. Highly recommend!

We loved this unique area of Mexico City. It is colorful, historic, lively, and very special. We went at 10:00 for a peaceful float thru the canals. It started to get busy with Mariachi bands, people selling food and bev, and larger groups. So fun.
Theresa M — Google review
It is a great nature and cultural experience. I am not sure why people would give negative reviews. We booked a boat for 1 hour for two people and went solo for 600 pesos ($36 USD). We got to experience how some families live a simple life near a canal in Mexico. We experienced serenity of nature. While some groups were blasting music in a natural area, we chose a calm and quiet trip through nature. We got plenty of beautiful pictures of the landscape from the water. I negotiated with the boatman to show us something different and a small doll house. So he offered to go further for an additional 30 minutes for 1000 pesos ($60 USD), making our trip of 1.5 hours. The boatman took us further up the canal into smaller ones, giving us plenty of picture moments. We loved it overall. The boatman was very nice and friendly despite the language barrier as we were communicating using Google translate. The boatman was young, he didn't go to the college. I asked him how much he makes from the 600 pesos per hour boat run? He mentioned that he only receives 100 pesos for his work, while the rest goes to the administration that owns the boats and maintains it. So I gave him a tip for his hard and honest work, which made him happy. We didn't wait for any food boats or anything, as we were more interested in experiencing the nature.

It was a fun-filled hour of relaxing as we floated on our private boat. My family found the different trajinera artisans selling food, drinks, flower's, jewelry, and offering Mariachi quite charming. Especially considering when you place an order they board your boat while in motion to serve you. Despite the rumors this isn't a tourist trap. Yes it does attracts tourists, but locals also come here to host birthday parties, get married and celebrate life in general. The Floating Gardens of Xochimilco give you a insight into what the area looked like in the 1500's, but if you aren't aware of the context this gem might be lost on you. This experience reminds you the entire area used to be a lake. If none of that strikes a cord with you, but you're a Frida Kahlo fan you might be interested just to see the where Frida and Diego got remarried.

Pier Fernando Celada / Embarcadero Fernando Celada is the name with more reviews. Even before you arrive at the floating gardens there will be people knocking on your Uber/taxi window trying to sell you on a tour of Xochimilco. None of them were on the side of the floating gardens, they must not be allowed to cross the street. Just walk to the boat area and ignore everyone else trying to sell to you. We went to the ticket window and were directed to a gentlemen with red hat and red shirt that briefly gave us information, asked how long of a tour we wanted, 1 hour (500 pesos), 2 hours (1000 pesos) etc. He called over one of the boat guys and that gentlemen led us down to the boat and was very nice. We didn’t have to pay anything until we got back. Along the way a boat pulled up besides us that was selling Corona for $40 pesos, delicious chicken and cheese quesadillas for $35 each, and waters for $30. Our “guide” kept pushing both boats along as they cooked the food right in front of us. My only regret was not ordering more food. The boat goes along somewhat slow, but it’s very quiet along the way with just nosies from animals and the occasional backyard stereo system. We did not have pesos after buying food, but we ended up just paying/tipping a little extra in USD for the ride and it was around 750 pesos with food for 3 people and the 1 hour tour. Pros: Food along the way, very peaceful, lots of wildlife. Cons: Very little English spoken here, they just need some sort of official information /ticket booth somewhere near to make things a little more comfortable, the water/some houses along the waterway were a little dirty.

100% a tourist trap. The sign says 2 hours for $1200 pesos. They charged us that much but then took us around for 1hour and sat near the dock for 20 minutes. Then eventually finally docked the boat after stalling. Then had the nerve to ask for a tip
Sabrina E — Google review
It’s an experience. Fun hour to relax floating listening to music eating and drinking. You can get your own boat for $25 USD per hour. Food is cooked on another boat that comes up and hooks on. $5-10 for enchiladas or tacos.

Monumental Clock

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Monumental Clock is a neoclassical tower built in the early 1900s to honor Mexico's independence. Situated at the heart of Pachuca, it stands as a centerpiece surrounded by traditional buildings and a lively square filled with street vendors, restaurants, and stores. Visitors can immerse themselves in the town's vibrant energy while admiring the classical architecture. On Sundays, one can witness local military police drills in front of the clock tower.
Lovely monumental clock! This clock dates back to the early 1900s, celebrating 100 years of Mexico's Independence. Interested viewers can take the tour up to the bell tower, getting a chance to see and hear the impressive bells. This clock mechanism itself were produced by E. Dent & Co. (The famous clock maker who was commissioned to make the clock for Big Ben in London). *Please note: climbing in tight spaces is required; if you are up for the challenge it is well worth it!

A beautiful structure located on the heart of Pachuca. The Monumental landmark is the center piece in the heart of downtown surrounded by traditional buildings. The square surrounding the clock has plenty of attractions. There are street vendors, restaurants and stores surrounding the plaza. Fun and exciting energy in the surrounding area so this is a must visit if you ever go to Pachuca!

Appreciate classical architecture and experience hustle bustle of the town of Pachuca. We came on Sunday morning and was fortunate to see the local MP performing their drill in front of the clock tower. Tips: Walk beyond few blocks behind BBVA building and heads towards the Mercado. You will get first hand experience the local doing the business and its much more lively there.

A beautiful Monument set in a small town square with stunning architecture. The atmosphere of stores, shops, restaurants, street vendors and tourists surrounding the clock especially the locals providing entertainment amplified the life of the square to provide an enchanting and fun experience. Another must see when visiting Pachuca

Archaeological Zone Tepozteco

Mentioned on 
13 lists 
Archaeological site
Nature & Parks
Mountains
The Archaeological Zone Tepozteco features the ruins of a small Aztec temple dedicated to Tepoztecatl, the god of harvest, fertility, and pulque. The 10m-high pyramid is perched atop a sheer cliff at the end of a steep paved path. While not as large as other pyramids in Mexico, its location offers breathtaking panoramic views of the valley.
Tip: the iron fence and last part of this amazing hike closes every day at 16:00. The entrance, if you want to see the pyramid and the part with the most beautiful view costs 100 pesos and is free for children and elderly (60+). On Sunday it's free for all Mexicans. There is a huge difference in amount of people between weekends and weekdays, both experiences are worth it. If you like a lot of people, with music, high heels, alcohol and atmosphere, weekends are really cool! If you like the "nature" and chill vibe more, please consider a week day experience; you are welcome;)!

If you can go as early as possible (opening time is 9), it will be quiet and peaceful. It'll be so early that the markets at the beginning of the route won't be open yet. The hike up is challenging so you do need a basic level of fitness but it is so worth it. The pyramid is small but don't let that put you off. It's a piece of history which is preserved and tells us more about this world and for only 100 pesos entry, it's well looked after. The most beautiful part of this is the view that you are rewarded after your hike. Highlight of my time here.
Claire W — Google review
I had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to write this review once I had the chance. Perhaps I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but it seemed like nowhere was it mentioned that the path to this archaeological site takes approximately two hours if you’re not particularly fit. It’s genuine rough terrain—true hiking. According to my data, to reach the summit where the pyramid is located, you need to ascend about 400 meters vertically, which is roughly equivalent to climbing a 130-story building on foot. So, please keep this in mind, and most importantly, it seems that, judging by the number of people there—including small children being carried and elderly individuals—very few are actually aware of what lies ahead. Well, now you know. As for the archaeological site itself, to be honest, it’s probably not worth the climb, at least not more than once. There are a lot of people, and the charm of a secluded mountaintop spot dissipates. However, the pyramid stands right on the edge of a cliff, and behind it is a steep drop, reminiscent of the scene in the movie “From Dusk Till Dawn,” where the bar is revealed to be an ancient temple, and vampires would toss bodies and cars down below. This could have served as a prototype for that scene in the film. You can climb onto the pyramid, by the way, but the archaeological zone itself isn’t all that impressive. I must say, the ascent was quite a surprise, and don’t forget that you also have to descend, which isn’t exactly easy either. Oh, and at the end, they’ll charge you 100 pesos for visiting the area, of course. Overall, it’s pretty cool; everyone takes photos and is happy they made it. Those still climbing can be encouraged as you descend. So, it’s alright.
Alex K — Google review
Really nice place! 90% of the hike has stairs, so as long as you have average condition, you should be able to safely hike this hill. I get why, but asking you to pay $100 mxn to see something you are already seeing (the pyramid-like construction) felt like it was not worth it (not complaining about the price, it is fair)
Arturo M — Google review
A beautiful place to visit the egg is very pleasant and the view from the top is stunning. I would recommend anyone to go there, the hike is a bit tough but it’s worth it. Take good shoes and water

Beautiful hiking! The path to the pyramid is very demanding but the view from there is amazing. The site is not well maintained, there is no bathroom and a lot of trash. To access the site you need to pay MXN 100 and it only accept cash.
Junior C — Google review
The hike is strenuous, prepare in advance. Takes 3-4 hours to complete the whole trek. You will gain almost 2000 feet (600 meters) while going up. The trek is 1.4 miles (2 kms) one way. Keep 100 pesos per person, they take the entrance ticket just before the pyramid. Overall its a very nice hike with beautiful view at the top.
AMIYA D — Google review
Entry to the pyramid (and the beautiful view) closes at 3pm/15:00, but there are no signs to indicate that until you’ve gone all the way up. Bummer! It’s a beautiful hike otherwise, and you’ll get a good workout.

This is an absolute must come see attraction in Mexico. My wife and I booked an excursion that included this along with touring different parts of different cities. This was our first stop first thing in the morning. We were greeted by an incredibly nice, respectful and authentic staff. The facility is very clean has bathrooms and everyone is full of energy. The balloon flight itself was absolutely spectacular. It will take your breath away. I have many different hobbies, such as being a pilot, a scuba diver and world traveler. And this destination in a hot air balloon was probably one of my favorite things I’ve done in my life. Coming back from the hot air balloon ride, the staff will show you all the amazing professional photos and videography that they took for you so you have the option to choose to purchase at a Fair cost. I chose to purchase the video and the photos because they came out absolutely spectacular.! After this part, they introduce you to your morning breakfast and let me tell you it is not continental. This is probably one of the best breakfast. My wife and I have had in Mexico since we arrived four days ago. A+++ Do not skip this attraction it is a must see

This experience was a must on my trip to MX, however it was overwhelming to choose between vendors.. are they trustworthy? Will the service be good? Will I be comfortable? ... After reading many, many, reviews I decided to go with this company. Let me tell you that as soon as I paid, someone reached out and confirmed with me all my booking details and asked if I had any questions. Then, the day came, they picked us up exactly where they said they would be, everyone in the staff was kind and welcoming. You have opportunities to take pics and videos and it's not a "pushy" sales vibe, more of an optional vibe. The ride itself was so SMOOTH. The captain was great! Great views too! Landing was perfection and the pyramid tour was also great. All of this to say that if you have any worries (I get it!), this is the company to book with!

The hot air balloon ride with Sky Balloons Mexico was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the team made everything feel smooth, organized, and exciting. Watching the balloons inflate as the sun came up was magical—and once we were in the air, the views were breathtaking. Floating over the landscape felt peaceful and surreal, like a bucket-list moment come to life. Our pilot was friendly, skilled, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. The staff as a whole were welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Sky Balloons Mexico offers an incredible hot air balloon experience—beautiful views, excellent service, and memories that last a lifetime. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Magical hot air balloon experience over Teotihuacán Sky Balloons México delivered an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was organized, safe, and welcoming. The staff was professional and friendly, making us feel completely at ease. The sunrise flight over the pyramids was absolutely breathtaking—peaceful, surreal, and beautifully scenic. The pilot was skilled and gave us a smooth, comfortable ride with stunning panoramic views. We also enjoyed the post-flight breakfast and sparkling wine toast, which added a great celebratory touch to the morning. Whether you’re a first-time flyer or looking for a romantic or bucket-list adventure, Sky Balloons is a must in Mexico. Highly recommended!

Bad experience. We came on time. They made us wait. All other ballons were in the sky and the sunrise already passed and our balloon still didn't go up. The whole point of the advertised experience is to go up during the sunrise with all other ballons. So we didn't get to experience that. From my understanding there was a problem with the balloon which is why it was late. Regardless, it completely ruined our experience.

The best..... Absolutely sensational we booked through Viator and the process was seamless, we arrived safely on time and checked in.. offered coffee and snacks. Carlos our guide greeted us and gave us the run down, he was AWESOME and very knowledgeable about the balloon and process. He brought us to our balloon that lifted off right in front of the building and we were off . It was breathtaking. Skyteam and Carlos were awesome. Great English and personal involvement.. Carlos was on top of everything from the departure to landing... Skyteam balloon and Carlos. I trust

Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla

Ecological park

Narrow ravine lined by basalt columns, with waterfalls & a rope bridge, plus low-key restaurants.
Great place. In their efforts to make it comfortable they have added a zip line, lots of restaurants and safe areas for people to make the best out of their visit. It’s such a beautiful place
Erick F — Google review
This place has a very similar volcanic formation to that of Devil's Tower. That said, this place is very different in climate, altitude, etc. The formations tend to go down into a small valley. There are lots of walking paths here and you need to be ok with going over a suspension bridge and up and down steps. Doing that will give you a much fuller and richer experience. I highly recommend this place!
Chris R — Google review
The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla are Mexico’s version of Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway and Iceland’s Svartifoss—but with a hacienda, history, and a side of enchiladas. Once part of a booming silver-mining region, the prisms sit beside the grand Hacienda Santa María Regla, built in the 1700s by a mining baron who clearly liked a good view. Explorer Alexander von Humboldt visited in 1803 and made the spot world-famous. Today, you can actually stay at the old hacienda and sneak out for private access to the backside of the waterfalls—basically your own secret entrance to one of Mexico’s most photogenic hidden gems.

The Zona Arqueológica de Cholula is a remarkable ancient Mesoamerican site featuring the impressive Piramide Tepanapa, which resembles a hill rather than a typical pyramid. The area includes extensive tunnels that run through the structure, offering visitors an eerie and fascinating experience. This archaeological zone encompasses excavated areas around the pyramid and its underground tunnels, accessible through a tunnel on the north side.
What a wonderful site! Great information is given about the pyramid, and it's stunning to see so up close what remains. I also trekked to the church at the top. The church and the view were amazing.

I’m studying to be an archaeologist and this place blew me away. Created in stages, like the Maya and other mesoamerican cultures, the pyramid was fantastic and the surrounding ruins were beautiful. There is definitely more that can be revealed. The grassy area that you walk around in was really nice.

After visiting the Cathedral on the hill, we opted to walk around the ruins of the Great Pyramid. What history and building technique. They added layers every 52 years and spans centuries. Not much left but still worth walking around.
Mind T — Google review
It's a very big pyramid mostly covered in dirt. It seems the few things that were excavated were not actually part of the pyramid. The tunnels perhaps would be interesting but were closed. Poor signage resulted in us ascending 300+ steps to get to a church, but have no view of the pyramid (nice city and volcano view, however). Seems the church is the bigger spectacle here.
Jeff Z — Google review
THE TUNNELS ARE CLOSED. YOU CANNOT GO INSIDE THE PYRAMID/TEMPLE AT ALL, SO YOU WILL SEE ALMOST NOTHING. If you are okay with that, you will pay $95 per person (it is more expensive than listed online) to only see a small amount of the top of it (the rest is underground). If it is a sunny day, you can climb one small part of the temple steps, but that's the coolest thing you'll experience here. If it's raining, that will be closed so there will be almost nothing to see. UNTIL THEY OPEN THE TUNNELS AGAIN, IF THEY EVER DO, I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE.

The Cholula pyramid and archaeological zone was just ok. We went to Monte Alban a week prior in Oaxaca that was stunning so once we got to Cholula I didn’t feel like it was anything special. There was a huge line to get in the ruins and museums which we skipped. The tunnels under the pyramids are closed since COVID. There were also so many people packed in the main square that I really couldn’t take the pictures I wanted. We did climb to the top of the hill and go inside the church that was very pretty and had a great view of the city.

The Zócalo de Puebla is a must-visit destination. It's a magical place with friendly people. It can get crowded on Sundays and during holidays, but we stayed in an Airbnb right in front of the Zócalo, which was amazing. Every morning, we enjoyed seeing the Zócalo transform into something different. There are also many bus tours available from this location, and everything is easily walkable.

The Zócalo in Puebla is truly the heart of the city and a must-visit destination for anyone exploring this vibrant colonial city. As one of Mexico’s most beautiful and historic plazas, it offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and lively atmosphere. The square is surrounded by stunning colonial architecture, with colorful buildings and ornate facades that reflect Puebla’s rich heritage. The cathedral, with its impressive baroque design, dominates the skyline and adds to the majestic ambiance of the plaza. During the day, the Zócalo buzzes with activity—locals and tourists alike gather to relax, enjoy street performances, or sip coffee at nearby cafes. At night, the area transforms with beautifully lit buildings, creating a romantic and picturesque setting. The surrounding streets are lined with shops, markets, and restaurants offering delicious local cuisine, including Puebla’s famous mole poblano. It’s a great place to soak in the local culture, do some shopping, or simply people-watch. Overall, the Zócalo in Puebla is a vibrant, historic, and charming place that captures the essence of the city. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just soaking up the lively atmosphere, it’s an experience not to be missed.

Africam Safari is a wildlife conservation zoo in Puebla, Mexico, spanning 500 acres of diverse habitats. Founded by Carlos Camacho Espiritu in the 1970s, it houses over 450 animal species from around the world. Visitors can drive through open-air enclosures or join guided tours to see elephants, giraffes, rhinos, tigers, and more. The park offers educational experiences like tracking animals and picnicking with giraffes.
We had two cars in our party. Our family enjoyed every moment of this experience. We went on a Sunday. This park is so well thought out, it was very impressive. It did take us about 5 hours to get through but felt like it took 3 hours. You first go through the safari portion where the animals are running free in their own habitat. There are stops along the way for clean bathrooms, food, and places to get out of the car and stretch your legs. There are 3 stops along this adventure. The last stop is more of a traditional zoo. All the animals here were well taken care of which was so good to see. Highly recommend for good family fun!

Specialty Museums
The Museo de Antropología de Xalapa is a striking brutalist museum designed by Paul Balev, showcasing the largest collection of artifacts from Mexican Gulf Coast cultures like the Olmec, Huastec, and Totonac. With over 25,000 pieces on display, including giant Olmec heads and smaller Totonac ones dating back to the Early Pre-Classic Period (1300-900 BC), this museum offers an incredible learning experience.
A fascinating and unforgettable museum in Xalapa. The Museo de Antropología de Xalapa (MAX) is truly one of Mexico’s hidden treasures. It houses the colossal Olmec heads, an awe-inspiring collection that connects you directly to the roots of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations. Beyond that, the museum features a vast and beautifully curated collection of figurines, ceramics, and everyday artifacts from different pre-Hispanic periods — each piece telling a unique story about the people who once lived in this region. The architecture of the building and the layout are exceptional, and the lush garden surrounding the museum makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s a place where nature and history blend seamlessly, inviting you to linger and reflect. A must-visit for anyone interested in Mexican culture, archaeology, and ancient art.

The museum is beautiful, large and had great services all around. There's so much information and the exhibits are so interesting, it can be overwhelming (in a good way), it definitely warrants several visits to see it all properly. The few issues I have are: the cafeteria has no visible menu or price list and the clerk was not very helpful; also, the auditorium feels a little cramped and the sound system in it is horrible, with blown speakers, permanent hissing, crackling, the mics cut off often; the projector send to be quite old, the image quality is passable.

Huge collection of colossal heads and other pieces from the south region heading back 1500 BCE. I’m giving four stars because the cafe was closed. You definitely to go through the whole museum. Quick thing if you decide to go to the restroom before you get to a stall grab toilet paper which is located outside the stalls.

I was very warmly received and purchased general admission and the English audio self-tour. I thoroughly enjoyed the special exhibition as well as all of the amazing Olmec artifacts this museum houses. The covered terrace areas feel like little time-capsule oases. The grounds may be my new "happy place" here in Xalapa; I spent almost as much time outside enjoying all the amazing trees and flowers as I spent inside in awe and reverence of the history and culture collected here. That being said, I did notice that the museum, while they do have some areas with wheelchair ramps, is still VERY inaccessible for those with disabilities, particularly mobility issues. E.g. the restrooms are located upstairs and then there are a couple steps up to the entrance of the restroom, and the restrooms themselves were very cramped, smelly, and didn't seem well cared for. Also, as a white American visiting here, I recognize I may have had a different experience in my treatment by the staff than perhaps locals and other Mexicans may receive, which saddens me. I sincerely hope (and will try to do my part so) that more money will be allocated to maintaining this gorgeous museum that is so important to México's cultural heritage, so that it can be even more accessible and comfortable for ALL. Will definitely be coming back!

It's a shame that they do not have adequate air-conditioning system to preserve all of the antiquities and waste paper just to give you a receipt of payment for entry which is the size of a certificate. They could also put in a coffee and cake area as they have a lot of room at the end of the exhibition and at the entrance also. They have not thought about using the space wisely. They charge 60 pesos extra for the audio guide which has no signal when walking around the museum. Apparently it's supposed to be free on Sundays. This is not the case.

One of the most exquisite museums I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Make the effort. The collection is displayed in such a way that you can truly connect to the artifacts (no touching!) and I rarely needed my English audio guide. The weaving of indoor and out, placing the carvings into the courtyards, the length of the main corridor... even the brutalist architecture (usually not a fan, sorry) play together to keep you engaged.

This museum is truly a must see in your visit to Xalapa, let alone Mexico. The adult fee is 55 pesos ($2.86). I recommend to get an audio guide, and use the self pave option. There are pieces from 4 different cultures, covering a span of almost 2000 years. The level of detail is outstanding, and the scope of each piece is breathtaking. It will take you around 2 hours to walk down the whole down the whole collection, but them you can sit down in the gardens and enjoy a restful time aurrounding by nature. I didn't find a cafe in the premises, and instead of a gift shop they have a bookstore. A remarkable afternoon you will not regret.

Very interesting museum, with a lot of artifacts found locally. The location is way bigger than I expected, also has a very beautiful and relaxing garden. Would be better if they offered a tour guide to tell you about the history of all the finding.

Muy lindo el rio y los animales, no es recomendable benir en tempradas de fin de año. It gets really packed, and the lines are very long. Be sure to bring an umbrella or buy one at the gift shop for $150.00 pesos about $8 dollars. Be sure to bring good walking shoes.

I recommend going up and coming down by cable car. The view from the gondola is fantastic. Looking at the queue, it seems like there's a long wait at the valley station. The price per trip is 35 pesos.
Marius R — Google review
Lines took over an hour. And then half hour to rerun at the top. Ride is super short. Idk if it’s worth the wait to be honest. Only if you have extra time to spend

Killer views of such a incredible area. Very kind & helpful staff working the summit. The hike back down was fun, but quite slippery from the mud from recent rain. Took us about an hour to finish the hike. Worth the money

Jite B — Google review
If you like heights (or even if you’re a liiiittle scared) and nice views, this is definitely recommended. You get a nice view of Orizaba as you stop and get off at the top of the mountain to explore more things and get a better view. We loved our experience here!

Amazing place to visit, so many things to do and see! I hope to be able to go again! The zip line was wonderful! There is lines but they move quickly and are shaded. A wonderful place to visit, kid friendly, and lots to explore!

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
San Juan de Ulúa is a 16th-century fortress complex located on an island in Veracruz State. It has been transformed into a museum offering guided tours. The fortress was originally built to defend Veracruz from pirates and later served as a national defense bastion and a prison for prominent figures. The region is also known for its rich cultural heritage, including the Olmec civilization.
Quite interesting fort! Very well preserved and with lots of history. It may require an hour and half to visit it. You’ll be under the sun most time, so be prepared. Totally worth to visit!
Jose G — Google review
Place used to have an amazing scenic view to get there. Unfortunately the place is now surrounded by walls, factories and just to get there is 20 min more to your tour. No signs to know more about the place and very reduced parking. Is not worth doing more than once

It is good place to visit if you go to Malecon de Veracruz, you can buy a hat ($100mx), an umbrella ($100) and glasses ($100mx) in the entrance; also you can contract a visitor guide to get a best experience(which cost is around $400MX per 6 persons). Access cost for San Juan de Ulua is $100MX.

We were not told ahead of time, but you must leave all food and drinks (other than water) in the ferry. Any candy. And the snacks and drinks purchased on the ferry as well. Unfortunately, my friend left her bag with candies just purchased and it went missing. Lots of walking involved. I suggest paying for the guided tour, very informative.

This is a great historical place to visit. It's a drive from the city so take a taxi or other transportation vehicle. Restrooms are available. Only water is allowed inside the fort not any flavored waters. Recommended to go early as it gets hot later in the day. There are guides available outside of the fort.
Marisol B — Google review
At least 450 years old, the existence of this fort predates the founding of Boston. The architecture corresponds to the military models of the time. It might not be as well preserved as other castle/forts in the Caribbean, but it certainly is worth your visit. I have 2 small children, and we found plenty to enjoy as a family in our 2 hour-long visit. You can hire private tour guides at the entrance, but there is also plenty of information online to inform you as you search its many nooks and crannies. It's well worth the 60 pesos entry fee.
Carlos B — Google review
Very interesting place. Tickets are around $85 pesos per adult. I recommend getting a tour guide (our charged $50 additional per person) to tell you the story. It is incredible how much has happened here. We took a trolley from the artisan market and paid $100 round trip per person. Everything is outside so consider sunblock, a hat and water.
Melissa R — Google review
Great historic fort with a lot to see. A pity that it's been allowed to degrade so much. Still, there seems to be a lot of work going into renovations of at least the core structures. Hopefully when I come back I can view this historic treasure in it's full glory. Definitely worth a visit. I would recommend the guided tour as well, there are a few English speaking guides.

Located in Veracruz City, the Acuario de Veracruz is a sprawling aquarium that offers an immersive journey into the wonders of the undersea world. It features various marine life exhibits, including sharks, dolphins, penguins, and tropical fish. With over 7 million liters of saltwater and more than 250 species on display, it is considered the most important and largest aquarium in Mexico and Latin America.
One the best aquariums around the world I visited. The shark diving was excellent and loved it all the way . The picture you take with the dolphin 🐬 kissing on your cheek is just ossum. We missed to get the tickets for penguin 🐧 play time where you can play with penguin 🐧 in personal time of around 30 minutes. Would love to do that on my next visit to it .

A lovely experience at the Aquarium today! It’s bigger than I expected with a lot of rooms and spaces for different species. I went on a weekday around 3pm and it was pretty empty. Lovely to walk around and learn about marine life. There’s bathrooms available and a foodcourt right outside the exit once you are done with some little stores.

The aquarium is medium-sized. All is display only. They have plenty of souvenir stores inside. They DO NOT have a dolphin show or penguin show. Some of the locals that work around the area claim that they do. So, do not be fooled.

Went in to get out of the heat. It was bigger than what we expected. They have a lot of interesting fish and aquatic animals. There are doing some construction so some exhibits were closed. Missing description of fish but we just used Google to look up names of fish. Exciting the aquarium is a food court.

Parque Museo La Venta

National park
Nature & Parks
Parque Museo La Venta is an intriguing outdoor museum situated in western Tabasco. It was established in 1958 to protect the ancient Olmec settlement of La Venta from petroleum exploration, and houses several significant artifacts including giant stone heads and carvings salvaged from the oil fields. The park exudes a jungle-like atmosphere within the city, making it a fascinating destination for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
The park itself is very interesting. I was looking forward to see this place and the olmecs heads and it is truly worth the visit!
Silvia B — Google review
The ticket took forever,.than from the next window some man shouted: where are you from? He had to fill out a list, then at the entrance we had an argument since the ticket lady gave us the Mexican entrance fee and the entrance lady told her we should have paid the foreigner entrance fee, so they argued if a permanent residence permit makes a foreigner eligible for the regular fee or not and we just stood there.....until we decided to enter the park. A very unwelcome feeling. The park deteriorated a lot since we were here 4 years ago. Not worth the money. With or without discount.

A wonderful combination of a zoo, forest preserve and archeological site, with coatis roaming free thru the park, huge ceibas and mango trees and next to a lagoon with crocodiles, make it a unique place, not to be missed if you’re in Villahermosa.

I was visiting from the US and my friends wanted to take me here. It’s beautiful, for sure. I really like that it has the combination of being a museum AND a zoo! Mostly common zoo animals, but it’s still neat. I really enjoyed the bird area that you can walk into. The big head statues are awesome. The ONLY downfall is the amount of mosquitoes is torturous! Be prepared for that, bring plenty of bug spray/repellent because you will for sure be eaten alive by mosquitoes if not. We had bug spray and were still getting attacked haha.

Nice experience but the animal enclosures were not very well kept. My animal lover kids were very concerned. We were not aware of the zoo and we were just fine without the zoo part. Very hot and humid but fun to see the archeological monuments.

Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya

Museum
Specialty Museums
Nestled in the heart of San Cristobal, the Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya is a vibrant museum that celebrates the rich tapestry of traditional textiles from Mexico and Central America. This cultural gem boasts an impressive collection of over 500 hand-woven pieces, with a special focus on Chiapas huipiles and tunics. Visitors can explore not only the stunning displays but also delve deeper by opening drawers filled with additional striking examples of textile craftsmanship.
An absolutely amazing museum! I have almost no interest in textiles and I was blown away. The first floor is original examples of textiles (which are amazing) and all sorts of artifacts. The second floor is modern examples of clothing from different areas in Chiapas. Sprinkle in beautiful artwork throughout the museum. And the building is stunning. The market outside is beautiful too. All this is free too! Do Not Miss This Experience!

An Outstanding Textile Museum – A Must-Visit for History and Culture Enthusiasts! I recently had the pleasure of visiting this incredible textile museum, and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. Best of all, entry was completely free, making it accessible to everyone. The museum is packed with a diverse range of exhibits, showcasing the rich history of textiles from various cultures and eras. Each display was thoughtfully curated, offering fascinating insights into traditional craftsmanship, techniques, and the cultural significance of textiles around the world. The building itself is a stunning piece of architecture, adding to the overall experience. Its elegant design and historic charm create a perfect setting for the exhibits. Unlike some other museums like the jade and amber museums, which often feel more like shops selling souvenirs, this museum is dedicated solely to education and preservation. It offers a genuine, immersive experience that truly highlights the artistry and cultural importance of textiles. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply looking for an enriching day out, this museum is definitely worth a visit. It’s a wonderful place to learn, appreciate craftsmanship, and enjoy a peaceful stroll through history. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through the area!

The "Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya" was an amazing experience. We came on a Sunday so the admission fee was free (0$ only on Sundays). It was a beautiful collection of textiles and artifacts from Guatemala and Mexico, I spent hours looking through their amazing collection of fabrics and weavings and quilts.

If you want to learn about San Cristobal's history this is a good place to start. They have in exhibition ceramic sculptures of the first civilization in the state also they have artifacts from the Spanish Conquest, but the best and my favourite part is the Textile exhibition, it's not a big exhibition but it has a lot of different textiles from Chiapas and from Guatemala.

FANTASTIC museum! One of the best museums dedicated to textiles I have ever been to (and I have been to many in many countries). Huge collection, wonderful service by the staff; you can see the reverence the Mayan textiles and its history are treated with. A favorite place in SanCris, and in México. GRACIAS for allowing us to witness the talent of such a marvelous culture.
