This museum is a royal castle in the middle of Mexico City . The architecture is fantastic and the history that counts includes objects, furniture and antique clothes that enrich the visit even more.

It is located in the middle of Chapultepec Park at a height of 2,325 meters above sea level. It is the home of the National History Museum , but the nicest part is the gardens ...

Don’t miss the second set of stairs in the back. It takes you up to an inside garden and decorated rooms

If you have a student or professor ID, bring it with you and skip the line ; you can walk right in.
