This is a beautiful building. Note that it serves as the current presidential residence, limiting public access to some areas. It's only open one day a week, so if you're short on time, appreciate the exterior and explore the nearby attractions.
The National Palace is an important historical site with stunning murals that highlight Mexico's rich history. Some areas are off-limits and it can become quite busy. Overall, it's a worthwhile visit, though it would benefit from improved access and crowd management.
We didn’t enter any rooms during this tour. We only visited two courtyards, and the guide spent a lot of time explaining murals that didn’t engage the children. This attraction is accessible only on Fridays, and tickets can't be purchased in advance. Arrive early at 9am to line up for tickets and return later for your tour. It's disappointing how it's managed.
A beautiful site for the Mexican community, serving as a Presidential Palace as well. Open to the public with some access restrictions, it features a lovely park. I'd highly recommend visiting, especially for nature enthusiasts. Thank you from B+B at Sunbury Cove Winery CA.
