The National Museum of Anthropology, the Museum of Modern Art, the Tamayo Museum, and the National Museum of Mexican History are all within walking distance in Chapultepec Park. The first three stand along beautiful Reforma Avenue, the last in a castle with a commanding view of Chapultepec Park. The Museum of Anthropology is world famous for its collection of prehispanic artifacts, murals, and edifices, and is a must-see.
Depending upon your interests, we will visit the other museums and stroll in Chapultepec Park, the "Central Park" of Mexico City. |

| Meet up location: At your hotel |
|
| End location: At the closest tourism taxi stand. Next to Chapultepec you will find Polanco, a fashionable area, with restaurants, hotels and elegant shops, you may like to have lunch or early dinner there. My suggestion is El Estoril restaurant; try the fried parsley and shrimp tacos or the snails au pernod bisque. |
