Before or after your visit to the Anthropology Museum, you’ll want to explore Chapultepec Castle. Situated on a hill overlooking 28947, the castle was built as a summer house for the viceroy and later served as the official residence of Emperor Maximilian I. From 1882 to 1939 the Presidents of Mexico used it as their primary residence.

Expect to pay a small price for admission, after which you'll have a 15 to 20 minute walk uphill to arrive at the castle gates. Once you arrive, head to your left to enjoy a courtyard and incredible views of Chapultepec Park before entering the castle. Highlights inside include some impressive murals by David Alfaro Siqueiros, Juan O'Gorman, and José Clemente Orozco, the castle bedrooms and sitting rooms, and the beautiful black and white marble flooring that covers the outdoor patios. There are also some great opportunities for photographs on these patios given the impressive views of Paseo de la Reforma.

After your visit, wander through the vast Chapultepec Park, which rings in at 686 hectares (that’s 1,695 acres; in comparison, Central Park in New York City covers 843 acres). It’s home to a lake, zoo, amusement park, and tons of delicious food stands (pro tip: next to the castle is the 28948, a garden where no talking is allowed and they play classical music; it’s perfect for reading or just chilling out to escape some of the city hustle and bustle).
