Our journey continues to the Post Office, a splendid building that once housed the Palace of Communications during the early 20th century. From here, we’ll head to the Palace of Fine Arts, a stunning Art Nouveau and Art Deco masterpiece that showcases the best of Mexican art and culture, as it preserves incredible murals painted by prominent artists such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco.

Experience the city’s bustling energy and rich culture as we make our way through the lively streets of downtown. From street performers to delicious food stalls, there’s never a dull moment in Mexico City.
