THIS TOUR IS ON HOLD FOR THE TIME BEING SINCE ACCESSIBILITY TO THE NATIONAL PALACE IS UNPREDICTABLE.
The current government has converted the president’s offices into the president’s official residence, which is why it has been off-limits for the past 4 years. Despite a recent announcement claiming it would reopen to the public, reality has proven otherwise. Obviously, the chief of state has the last say, and we are not privy to his agenda, so it is currently hard to plan a visit here for the time being! Sorry about that.
Join us for an unforgettable visit to the National Palace, today the offices and week-day residence of Mexico’s president. This visit includes a wide range of sites, all within the confines of the Palace – ancient ruins, modern murals, a little bit of history and even a glance at nature!
We’ll begin with an explanation of Diego Rivera’s epic murals (considered by many art historians to be his masterpiece), before checking out a reproduction of the old Parliament Hall, strolling through the charming Cactus Garden and checking out a few archaeological windows. We will include a visit the Benito Juarez Museum and the stunning, interactive History Museum.
There IS lots to see and explore! Three hours will barely give us enough time to do justice to the principal sites of interest within the Palace’s confines!
