The National Palace, located in the heart of Mexico City--the Zocalo, shouldn't be missed. The building itself is beautiful as well as the inner courtyard. The highlight of the National Palace is by far the Diego Rivera murals that ascend staircases and offer a beautiful depiction of the history of Mexico. The murals are as visually breathtaking as they are... More

Definitely worth the visit for the murals. We actually paid for a guide at the door to walk us through. Not required, but it does help to have someone explain the murals as the guide did bring up some points that we might have missed on our own. It was a quick tour, but after that we were left to...

this is the center of DF....all national holidays parADES MARKETS AREHERE.....tours are by private admission...on any given day there is much to see and do...bring your camera and pesos!!

Main exhibition was closed but you can view the murals by Diego Rivera. They are worth the visit by themselves. Several guides are available. They are not official but worth every pesos they ask.

well worth several hours wandering the grounds. emphais on the mural of course...the inner courtyard is interesting too

The palace is huge and beautiful, though we spent most of our time looking at Diego Rivera's Murals and did not get a chance to explore all of it. These murals, collective called "The Epic of the Mexican People" are stunning works of art, unimaginably detailed covering the history of mexico over 400 years. Get a guide - we had... More

Absolutely stunning murals, I had a guide for the day, I found this to be really helpful as he explained everything to us. It would be so easy to walk around and admire everything without really understanding what i was looking at.
