Join a tour of the historic center of Mexico City, one of the largest UNESCO World Heritage Cities. You will discover attractions such as Zócalo (main square), the Diego Rivera murals, and Xochimilco.

Zócalo is the world's 3rd largest square, surrounded by Mexico's most important political power buildings such as the National Palace, the City Hall, the Justice Palace, and the Cathedral. The historic center is the most extensive UNESCO-listed colonial city in America and was called the Palaces' City in the XIX century.

Take a walking tour of Madero pedestrian street, along with colonial and art deco palaces.

Explore Xochimilco's renowned canals, the last remnants of an enormous transport system that the Aztecs built. Enjoy a 1-hour ride on a trajinera, a colorful boat similar to a gondola. Next, you will visit the UNAM 's Campus (the National University of Mexico) to admire the famous murals by Diego Rivera, O'Gorman, and Siqueiros.
