For our eighth day in Mexico and our third day in the capital, we decided to walk around the historical center.
The latter is located at a 50 minutes walking distance from the St. Regis via the Paseo de la Reforma.
As a reminder, here is the itinerary followed:
Museum of Fine Arts
The Museum of Fine Arts is one of the first buildings in the historic center.
Its architecture is very successful. We will not visit the museum.
Madero Street
Madero Street is the historic shopping street of Mexico City. Some buildings are interesting and we will stop to admire an exhibition.
National Palace and Zócalo
The National Palace is a government building located in Zócalo Square. The square is impressive.
Metropolitan Cathedral
The cathedral is a verysuccessful building, both externally and internally. Although of Gothic architecture, the choir is protected as in the Romanesque churches.
The country is very Catholic, so the attendance of the cathedral is important.
Lunch at the Casa de los Azulejos
La casa de l’os azulejos is abuilding located on Madero Street, and houses a store and a restaurant.
The restaurant will be very pleasant and we will have lunch there with pleasure.
Torre Latinoamericana
The Torre Latinoamericana is a modern copy of the Empire State Building. The comparison stops with the form, because for the rest, we are rather in the Sixties.
Nevertheless, the view is no less splendid.
Post Palace
The Post Palace is an often overlooked building in Mexico City. Nevertheless, it still houses the central post office, which has remained in its original state from the beginning of the 20th century and is very well maintained. Free and not to be missed
Bottom line
A very full day, and many discoveries!
