a great day trip: we went early Monday morning (perhaps why it was not as crowded ). bring a hat and sunglasses and sunscreen . start with the Sun, then walk your way to the Temple , then the Moon last.

Twinkle Denoyo

Bring a hat and comfy shoes as well as sun screen. You will want to walk around and climb the pyramids. Do it early otherwise it gets very hot! Also you will get better pictures without too many ppl.

Victoria U.

Well worth the 40 minute drive from the city , the bus is super cheap . We walked in the back way for less crowds and went straight to the temple of the moon instead of heading to the temple of the sun

Russell Hirschorn

Bring: Sunglasses, Sun Block, Hat, Running Shoes , Money. Uber to Piramides de Teotihuacan ($350). Go to Gate 2. Buy a ticket ($70). Get a guide ($750). Walk 365 steps on sun and moon piramides. Absorb

Emilia Allonso

Get there early (before 10am)!tkts are 75 mxn, the view from the pyramid of the moon is the best one.Uber is an easy option to get there if you don’t want to spend the day

Lina Artista

That’s my dream coming true. The best traveling experience for me. To be able to visit ancient cities , such magnificent places! I’m really impressed.

Alex Duran

If you go to Mexico City on vacation & don't visit this place, you should kick yourself. Simply amazing. Take sunscreen even if it's cloudy!! You can Uber here but will have to cover tolls.

Fabiano Waewell

Totally out of this world place! Only problem is people selling stuff all over!! But the place is fantastic!!!

If you are in the mood for hiking and history, two of the biggest pyramids in México are about two hours away by car, or you can take a bus that brings you there and back.

Eduardo Rodrigues

You must see it! The city of the gods is a sight to behold at least once in a lifetime. It does worth seen it with a private guide, groups looks just too crowed

Jakob Koefoed

Breathtaking archaeological site! We spend half a day there it's huge. The pyramids are stunningly large. Top three historic site in Mexico :D

Sarah Sterling

This is not a place to pass up! Some of the most incredible pyramids I have ever seen. Be sure to bring sunblock, water, and a hat or scarf as it is hot

Margarita Krup

Pyramids! Pyramids! Pyramids! Climb to the top of pyramid of the sun, walk the entire avenue of the dead.

Great, you need minimum 2 hours to walk around without hurry.

Khalida Jaan

Bring your own hat! Long lines on Sunday because the fare is free. Pay extra and go on a Tuesday morning!

Emily Mitnick

Do the hot air balloons + tour if you can. It requires an early morning wake up but well worth it.

Adrian Owen

Arrive early to escape the heat and the crowds. Go to the Tetitla Atetelco cooperative for best quality local products and explanation of how they are made.

Erika

Take your time here to fully appreciate everything. The site is unbelievable and even the small museum is worth going to!

Kasia Koczułap

I love that there are still places we don't almost nothing about it. Steps in the big pyramid are kind of uncomfortable so pick good shoes . 10 minutes walk on the top - maximum!

Frances Rabbitt

Need to have cash to buy tickets. Gates close at 5pm. Well worth a trip! Great views from top of the Pirámide del Sol!

Lauryn Goldberg

Definitely worth the money to hire a guide to drive you around. Amazing views ! Wear SPF and bring water.

Liz ????

Get there EARLY! The line to get up the pyramid of the sun gets insanely long, as does the line just to get into the park !

Jacobo Gómez

A freaking wonder of the world just a short drive from Mexico city .

Moses Vega

Awsome trip. I would definitely go back. Make sure you bargain with the folks selling souvenirs. If not walk away and get it somewhere else. There are plenty of vendors.

Frances Rabbitt

Entrance is cash only . Gates close at 5pm. Well worth a trip!

Fernanda Obregon

It is a great place. Try to find a quiet place to look at the grandeuse of everything. Run away from the vendors.

Luci

Must! If you don't come here you haven't been to Mexico!

Alberto Simon

Really awesome site worth making the quick trip out to if you’re in Mexico City

Mike Nadelman

Its a long climb to the top but easy and worth the experience if you have never done it before.

Łukasz Kulczyna

A little bit crowded place full of intrusive hucksters. But you need to see it.

Justin Halsall

Get a guide, a whole world will open up for you.

Paula Madeira

Frances Rabbitt

Entrance is cash only . Gates close at 5pm. Well worth a trip!

Aras Kocaoğlan

Don't forget that sun can burn when you climb the pyramid of the sun. Bring sun lotion por favor.

Roberto Bruder Aguiar

Very worth it to come and visit everything.

EVANGELIONHD

Best place to get souvenirs is door two "puerta 2" twice the price at other locations

Roger Ma

Come extra early to beat the heat and the crowds!

Rishi Basak

Must see pyramids. Mind blowing!

@StratosAthens

Climb the Pyramid of Sun. Take your time. It is not as difficult as you may think. The view from the top will reward you.
