The guards said they do not know when it will be opened to the public . Very dissapointing ! How can we tell which we liked and disliked whenwe were not allowed entry ?
If you are planning to visit the pyramids near the city like Teotihuacan, this can be skipped. I am sure its impressive in its own rights, but its rather underwhelming if you have seen any other pyramids/ ruins in mexico
Loved this and what it stood for. A colonial building still housing the govt/president on one side- with some fantastic murals on the stair way and 1st floor showing the history of the country and effectively the suffering during the colonial past. Great murals- DO NOT miss this.
The National Palace, located in the heart of Mexico City--the Zocalo, shouldn't be missed. The building itself is beautiful as well as the inner courtyard.

this is the center of DF....all national holidays parADES MARKETS AREHERE.....tours are by private admission...on any given day there is much to see and do...bring your camera and pesos!!

Several guides are available. They are not official but worth every pesos they ask. It's a crash course in Mexican history with a thorough description of the Rivera's Murales.
It's also a military post. First time I visit a museum...

This palace is very plain compared to other palaces around the world. A large courtyard with a fountain in the center is the focal point. The murals are excellent and provide a unique pictorial insight into the history of Mexico. The gardens are nice but I didn't linger long a bit disappointed in the plainness of if all.
well worth several hours wandering the grounds. emphais on the mural of course...the inner courtyard is interesting too
