Offer: Chapultepec Castle & National Anthropological Museum

Explore different eras of Mexico City on this guided tour of the most historical places in the Chapultepec Forest: the Chapultepec Castle and the National Anthropological Museum.

Tour Details

Our first stop will be the Chapultepec Castle, currently the National History Museum, which has been a site of historical significance, including battles during the American invasion and serving as a military college and Presidential residence until 1944. It was also the imperial palace during the French intervention known as the "Second Mexican Empire".

We'll spend 1 hour 30 minutes at the castle, where we will view sculptures of figures like Cuauhtémoc and Hernán Cortés, and learn about the conquest, independence, and revolution. The tour will also provide insight into the life of Emperor Maximiliano as we visit halls decorated in traditional European style.

After enjoying views of Mexico City from the castle balconies, you will have free time for a drink.

The tour continues with a 2-hour 30-minute visit to the National Anthropological Museum, which houses the largest collection of pre-Columbian art in the world. We'll explore reconstructions of ancient Aztec and Mayan sites and view archaeological pieces from the Zapotec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, and Mexica civilizations.
