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 was pivotal during the American invasion, functioned as a military college, and served as a Presidential residence until 1944. It was also the imperial palace for Maximiliano and Carlota during the six-year French intervention known as the "Second Mexican Empire".

We'll spend 1 hour 30 minutes exploring the castle. The tour includes sculptures of significant figures such as Cuauhtémoc and Hernán Cortés, along with stories about the conquest, independence, and revolution. Guests will experience the 19th-century European decorative style of the halls and learn about Emperor Maximiliano.

After taking in some of the best views of Mexico City from the balconies, you will have free time for a beverage.

Next, we will embark on a 2-hour 30-minute guided tour of the National Anthropological Museum, which houses the largest collection of pre-Colombian art in the world.

We will explore the legacies of prehispanic societies, including reconstructions of tombs and temples from the Aztec and Mayan civilizations, alongside archaeological pieces from the Zapotec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, and Mexica civilizations.
