Tour Details

Our first stop will be the Chapultepec Castle, currently the National History Museum, which was significant during the American invasion as a military college and Presidential residence until 1944.

We'll spend 1 hour 30 minutes visiting the castle, viewing sculptures of figures such as Cuauhtémoc and Hernán Cortés, while discovering stories about the conquest, independence, and revolution. The tour highlights the 19th-century European style and Emperor Maximiliano's life.

After enjoying views from the castle, you will have free time. The tour proceeds to the National Anthropological Museum for a 2-hour 30-minute guided visit, showcasing the largest collection of pre-Colombian art.
