Chapultepec gathers the most important museums in the city —Anthropology, Tamayo, Modern Art— and the only royal castle ever inhabited in the Americas. It is the best area to grasp pre-Hispanic, imperial and modern Mexico in one go. For international visitors we recommend a guided visit to the National Anthropology Museum (at least 3 hours) and, on a second day, the climb up to the Castle with panoramic views over Reforma.
Families, international school groups, art-loving couples and groups who want a full day of culture without leaving the city.
Half a day per museum (4 hours). Full day if combining the Castle and the Anthropology Museum.
