Choose one area

Chapultepec: choose Antropología or Museo de Arte Moderno as your main stop, then leave room for a park walk. If you want to add another museum, check its program and your remaining time before buying tickets. Our parks guide can help you shape the rest of the outing.

Coyoacán: arrange Casa Azul first, then use our Coyoacán plan for the plazas and market. If museum tickets are unavailable, keep the neighborhood outing and choose another museum for a different day.

These are separate areas. We suggest one area per outing, with travel time planned separately. Check your route before leaving; the getting around guide explains the transport options.

Tickets and guided visits

The links above lead to official visitor information. Read the entry conditions for your date before paying. Museum admission, a guided visit, and transport are different services; if you choose a package elsewhere, check exactly what it includes.

Opening days, exhibitions, and ticket availability can change. Confirm them with the museum before setting out, especially if a particular exhibition is the reason for your visit.
