Cultural in Ciudad de México

Mexico City's cultural offering is overwhelming in the best way. It has more museums than almost any city on earth, from the essential National Museum of Anthropology to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Coyoacan, by way of the Palacio de Bellas Artes with its murals by Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros. Cultural tours help you prioritize and understand the context behind each collection.

Beyond the museums, chilango culture lives in the street: a lucha libre show at Arena Mexico is pure popular spectacle, with masks, technicos and rudos who have thrilled the crowd for generations. The historic center packs in the Aztec Templo Mayor, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Zocalo, one of the largest civic squares on the planet.

A good cultural route blends art, history and daily life, and almost always includes a guide who connects the pre-Hispanic past with contemporary Mexico. It is perfect for travelers who want more than photos: to leave knowing why Frida paints what she paints or what the reliefs of the Templo Mayor mean.
