What you can expect

Immerse yourself in Mexico's cultural history on a half-day tour of the National Museum of Anthropology and Chapultepec Castle. Admire powerful 20th-century murals depicting the history of Mexico and watch a spectacular panorama of Mexico City from the top of a hill.

Get picked up from your hotel and travel to Bosque de Chapultepec, an extensive urban park in the middle of Mexico City containing Chapultepec Castle—at the top of a hill 7,628 feet (2,325 m) above sea level. Enter the castle, which served as the Imperial Palace and Presidential Residence until 1940, and learn about the country's Colonial and Imperial history.

Walk through the estate's many halls and rooms, admiring the plethora of sculptures and paintings of historical figures. See murals created by Mexican artists of the 20th century—including David Alfaro Siqueiros—that depicts the fall of the Empire, the Revolution, and Mexican Independence. Walk in the castle gardens and take in the panorama of incredible views of the city.

Continue to the National Museum of Anthropology, one of Latin America's most important museums, and learn about the Mayan, Mexica, and Toltec cultures and how they influence and contribute to Mexican society. Take a look at the museum's countless artifacts, including the Stone of the Sun and a replica of a Mayan tomb, and become immersed in Mexico's pre-Columbian heritage.
