Holidays to Mexico City, Tours & Packages: Teotihuacan Pyramids + Frida Kahlo Museum + Mayan Ruins
Explore one of the great cities of the world on holidays to Mexico City, including tours & packages to the Teotihuacan pyramids, the Frida Kahlo art museum, the world class Anthropology Museum, Chapeltepec Park and Castle, and Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine - a major Catholic pilgrimage site.
Dating from the 12th century, Mexico City is the oldest urban centre in the Americas. It was called Tenochtitlan by the Aztecs, who founded the original city on an island in Lake Texcoco in 1325. Hernan Cortez and his Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1519 and largely destroyed the city a few years later, following an Aztec revolt and a devastating Spanish siege. On holidays to Mexico City, tours & packages to Teotihuacan pyramids & Frida Kahlo art museum, you will see how it was rebuilt to Spanish designs to erase all trace of the old Aztec culture and it quickly grew to dominate the whole region as the capital of ‘New Spain’.
Many of the Roman Catholic churches built during the colonial period can still be seen, including the huge Metropolitan Cathedral, built facing the Zócalo - the vast main square that was formerly an Aztec ceremonial centre and is today a World Heritage Site.. The National Palace, with its famous murals by Diego Rivera, and the ruins of the ancient Templo Meyor, one of the Aztec’s principal monuments, are also on the square and can be seen on holidays to Mexico City, tours & packages to Teotihuacan pyramids, Frida Kahlo art museum & more.
The Palace of Fine Arts houses more enormous murals by world famous Mexican artists, and Salon Tenampa, a ‘cantina’ (bar) on Plaza Garibaldi, contains murals of the giants of Mexican song. You can also visit the Blue House, the former home of the famous Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo, which is now a museum dedicated to her life and her art.
Just outside the city you will find the magnificent remains of the Teotihuacan pyramids. The Teotihuacans preceded both the Mayans and the Aztecs, and bequeathed religious order and government to Mesoamerica. Meaning ‘the place where the gods live’, this great city was established in 300 BC and was home to over 150,000 people. The ruins at this World Heritage Site include the enormous Teotihuacan Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, connected by the Avenue of the Dead, the Palace of Jaguars and the beautiful Temple of Quetzalpapaloti – the divine butterfly.
