National Museum of Anthropology

I recommend taking a break in the museum's lush garden; I found it peaceful and a great place to recharge.

I suggest getting there right when it opens at 9 AM to beat the crowds; it made a huge difference for me.

If you can, bring a water bottle and some snacks – the café there is kinda pricey and crowded.

Don't skip the gift shop; they have unique souvenirs! I found some quality stuff that was more affordable than at other places.
Soumaya Museum

Make sure you wear comfy shoes. You'll be walking a lot, and the art is spread out. I wore some cute sandals and regretted it halfway through my visit. Yikes!

Don’t miss the rooftop terrace! The views of the city from there are amazing and a great spot for photos. I almost forgot about it until I was leaving!

I really enjoyed the free admission, but I think booking a time slot online would be a good idea. It can get busy, and reserving a spot ensures you won’t have to wait forever.

I suggest coming on a weekday if you can. The weekend crowds can be insane, and you'll enjoy the art more when it's not so packed. Plus, it's easier to take pictures without a million people in the background.
Frida Kahlo Museum
Temple Major

if you’re on a budget, consider taking the train instead of a taxi. it’s super affordable and gives you a taste of local life.

Don’t miss the small exhibits tucked away off the main paths; some hidden gems that are worth your time and aren’t crowded at all.

I suggest wearing comfy shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking on uneven surfaces, and trust me, you’ll want to be comfortable!

Definitely get there early, like around 9 AM, to beat the crowds. It’s way more enjoyable to explore when it’s not so packed!
Museo de Cera

My advice is to buy your tickets online in advance. I didn't, and I ended up waiting in a long line. Trust me, just do it!

i think you should check out the interactive exhibits. they were way more fun than i expected and made the whole experience feel special.

I recommend spending some time in the gift shop after! They have unique items that make for cool souvenirs, but be warned: some prices are a bit high.
The Memory and Tolerance Museum
The Museum Papalote
The Museum of Mummies
Mummy Museum

If you plan on taking a lot of pictures, be ready to pay a small fee for your camera. I didn't know this at first and almost lost the chance to capture some great shots!

I suggest getting there right when they open at 9 AM. It was so much less crowded and I could take my time looking at everything, plus good lighting for photos!

I recommend wearing comfy shoes since you'll be walking through narrow halls. Trust me, I was regretting my flip-flops by the end!

You might want to bring some snacks. There's not much of a cafe, and I found myself getting hungry after a while. Grab something before you go!
National Museum of Art

I suggest visiting on a weekday. It was way less crowded, and I had more time to admire the pieces without feeling rushed. Weekends can get pretty busy!

I recommend planning to spend at least 3 hours there. I thought I could rush through in an hour, but there’s so much to see and appreciate!

Keep an eye on their events calendar. I found a fantastic live music performance happening while I was there, which added to the whole experience.

Don't miss the rooftop terrace. It has a stunning view of the city and is a great spot to take a breather from the indoor exhibits.
