Walk through Mexico City’s heart—where the past still speaks

From the Zócalo to Bellas Artes, discover stories of gods, art, and the people who shaped this city.

Walk through centuries of history in the Historic Center of Mexico City, where the ancient capital of Tenochtitlan still breathes beneath the streets. This private experience by DreamUs México takes you through layers of empire, faith, and art — from Aztec temples to colonial cathedrals and modern icons.

Begin at the Templo Mayor, sacred heart of the Mexica world, where stone serpents, altars, and offerings reveal stories of gods, sacrifice, and rebirth. Visit the Templo Mayor Museum, home to the famous Coyolxauhqui Stone and other treasures uncovered beneath the city. Step next into the Metropolitan Cathedral, a living monument that blends Spanish baroque grandeur with indigenous symbolism — its very foundations resting on the ruins of Tenochtitlan.

Continue along the Zócalo, one of the largest city squares in the world, to admire the surrounding colonial architecture and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, where Diego Rivera’s murals capture Mexico’s struggles and triumphs. Then, experience the most delicious part of the day: authentic Mexico City tacos. Visit a local taquería where your guide will introduce you to traditional flavors — from tacos al pastor to suadero — because no journey through Mexican culture is complete without tasting its soul.
