Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo Frida Kahlo. And it doesn't end there: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, ponder the world of politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo.
